The Soladey J3X Toothbrush features a solar panel which sends electrons thus causing a reaction with chemical in the mouth that clears away plaque, which in turn has the potential of eliminating toothpaste. The only disadvantage the toothbrush will not work in the dark, but utilizes light that also generates a solar powered calculator. </span><br />

Under the first grant, Lockheed Martin will develop a tool to estimate the amount of energy that can be extracted from the ocean's thermal layers. The geographic information system-based dataset and software tool will be used to identify regions of the world viable for OTEC and seawater-based air conditioning (<strong><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_162-20004115-501465.html">SWAC</a></strong>). The resulting resource mapping will provide critical information to policy makers, the energy industry and the public about regional OTEC and SWAC feasibility. The <strong><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-501465_162-20004115-501465.html">SWAC</a></strong> technology is current being used in Hawaii, Bora Bora, Stockholm and Ottawa. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The second grant will require <strong><a href="http://www.lockheedmartin.com/aboutus/index.html">Lockheed Martin</a></strong> to estimate the performance and life cycle costs while determining the potential reduction in electric utility loads during the summer peaks demand periods.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Lockheed Martin's experience with Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion dates by to the 1970's, when they built a "<strong><a href="http://www.makai.com/p-otec.htm">Mini-OTEC</a></strong>", which remains the only floating system in the world. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">You might be eligible for a federal tax credit when purchasing a renewable energy or energy efficient product for your primary home and second homes. I would recommend that you research the qualifications and requirements before you purchase <a href="http://www.energystar.gov/index.cfm?c=home_improvement.hm_improvement_index"><strong>renewable energy product</strong></a>; as not all "Energy Star" rated products meet the strict criteria. It will depend on which renewable energy product you choose that actually determines the allowable amount of credit, the total cost and the expiration dates. The overall tax credit is up to $1500.00, 30% of the purchase and some allowance for installation, and defined expiration date for the renewable energy product and 30% of the cost with no upper limit. Therefore, I would highly recommend that you thoroughly research all of the federal income tax guidelines to ensure which federal tax credit you are eligible to secure. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">After you have determined the renewable energy product you will purchase, the next phase will be for you to be prepared for filing for our federal tax credits. Please review the "<a href="http://energystar.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/energystar.cfg/php/enduser/std_adp.php?p_faqid=2928"><strong>How do I apply for tax credit</strong></a>" link for a step by step instructions that you will need to follow to successful in claiming your federal tax credit. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12pt;">The list of renewable products includes Biomass Stoves, Heating, Ventilating, Air-Conditioning (HVAC), Insulation, Roofs (Metal & Asphalt), Water Heaters (Non-Solar), Windows & Doors, Geothermal Heat Pumps, Small Wind Turbines (residential), Solar Energy Systems and Fuel Cells (residential fuel and micro-turbine systems). </span><br />

The interior's new <a href="http://www.mms.gov/ooc/press/2010/press0621.htm"><strong>Bureau of Ocean Energy Management</strong></a> will develop wind and other renewable energy resources. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The governors of Delaware, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Rhode Island, and Virgina have created a <strong>"<a href="http://cleantechnica.com/2010/06/13/east-coast-governors-join-forces-for-clean-renewable-energy-from-wind/">Wind Energy Farms</a>"</strong> project for the Outer Continental Shelf.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Our nation needs to develop this <a href="http://www.doi.gov/news/pressreleases/Salazar-Signs-Agreement-with-10-East-Coast-Governors-to-Establish-Atlantic-Offshore-Wind-Energy-Consortium.cfm"><strong>renewable energy</strong></a> as there is a potenetial of generating 20% of our electricy by 2030. In addition, there is a possibility that this would create a quarter of a million green jobs.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Today, glass manufacturers rely on crushed glass which is called "cullet" to supplemental raw materials in producing recycled glass for their products. The process of making glass consists of mixing cullets, sand, soda ash and limestone.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">We will be able to save air pollution by 20%, related water pollution by 50%, reduces space in our landifill and finally, we will not have to utilize our landscape to make glass. For every 1 ton of glass recycled, 1.2 tons of raw material will be preserved.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Please be mindful and do your part by placing all of your glass bottles, jars and containers on the curbside recycling bin.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Mother Earth will "Thank You"!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The electric power generated from the solar cells could be used either to charge the rechargeable batteries or to directly power the main module or both.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">This ingenius design of replacing the back metal panel with window will no doubt open the door for <strong><a href="http://www.patentlyapple.com/patently-apple/2010/06/apples-vision-of-a-solar-cell-iphone-supports-prototype-in-the-wild.html">Apple</a></strong> to implement a double-sided panel design which will be solar powered.</span><br />

You can use recycling </span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Aluminum to your advantage and it can be very benefical for your local community organizations such as Boy or Girl Scouts of America, Habitat for Humanity, your church and your schools. The aluminum can industry is big money, as they have recently paid out $800 Million dollars (annually) to those that were creative enough to cash in while making our world more beautiful!</span><br />

We wrap our food in it, store items in it, drink from it and eat off it, we have parties surrounded by plastic and even wear it; of all this plastic only 3 to 5 percent is recycled in America. Much of the rest of this plastic goes into landfills and takes 200 – 400 years to decompose.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you part, recycle all plastics, as they can be turned into many items from clothing to lumber and to avoid filling our landfills! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Your best option is to buy your items with glass</span>. <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Do you need a quick chocolate dessert for your next Bar-B-Que, Graduation or an upcoming Family Re-Union? You should try Martha Stewart's <a href="http://www.delish.com/recipes/cooking-recipes/martha-stewart-chocolate-desserts"><strong>Bittersweet Chocolate Mousse</strong></a><strong>. </strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">4 large egg yolks</span><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Finely chop chocolate; reserve. In a double boiler, whisk yolks, sugar, and salt until sugar has dissolved and mixture is warm to the touch, 2 to 3 minutes. Off heat, quickly whisk in chopped chocolate until melted and cocoa until smooth (mixture will be thick). Cool to room temperature.</span><br />
<br />
1/4 cup sugar<br />
Pinch of salt<br />
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder<br />
2 ounces bittersweet chocolate<br />
3/4 cup heavy cream<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">In a medium bowl, whip cream until soft peaks form. Whisk half of whipped cream into room-temperature chocolate mixture. Gently fold in remaining whipped cream with a rubber spatula. Divide mousse among four serving dishes. Chill at least 2 hours and up to 1 day.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Remove mousse from refrigerator 15 minutes before serving. Garnish with shaved chocolate</span><br />
