Internet Sources

 

 

        As you look for sources on the internet, you should try to evaluate the quality of the author if known, and the general quality and reliability of the web site. Many times, journals can be accessed from internet sites, and then you will have to judge their reliability as well. I have found the following sites to have high quality information.

 

http://www.epa.gov

Env. Protection Agency - lots of energy and environment data and articles

http://www.eren.doe.gov

ditto DOE

http://www.sustainable.doe.gov

DOE sustainable website

http://www.envirolink.org

Lots of environmental data and news

http://www.ucsusa.org

Union of Concerned Scientists – good on energy issues

http://solstice.crest.org

Good on renewable energy topics and conservation

http://www.ecw.org

 Energy Center at Univ. of Wisconsin – some access to journals

http://www.igc.org

Many links to energy source information

http://www.eande.lbl.gov

Lawrence Berkeley Labs Energy and Env. Division

http://www.ttcorp.com/upvg.html

DOE funded PV utility group

http://rredc.nrel.gov

National Renewable Energy Lab

 

You can also do searches for topics. Some of my favorites are

www.yahoo.com

www.hotbot.com

www.altavista.digital.com

 

Remember that .com are companies and they are selling you a product. Don’t expect the full story from these sites. It is not usually a question of incorrect information, but incomplete information.
