Well they are not blogs, but Homepower and Otherpower are two good practical sites that show how to use alternate energy sources.

Be sure to check out the Hamster-Powered Night Light With Custom Low-RPM Alternator, it's a hoot!

A good one I can recommend is http://www.renew-enery-blog.org which is moderated by RENEW Wisconsin (www.renewwisconsin.org). Disclaimer of bias: I generate a lot of the content on that blog.

I don't necessarily trust this finding but until proven otherwise I'm sticking with it.

I am of course an ethanol skeptic, but I don't believe that number. I have seen actual energy usage numbers from an operating ethanol plant in Illinois. The energy balance wasn't great, but it was positive. It is just not positive enough to justify making ethanol from corn.

Cheers,

RR
