For those who want to know what something is in the field of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies or how things such as a wind turbine or solar panels work, DOE’s Office of Energy Efficiency and Renewal Energy (EERE) has launched the new Energy Basics Website. The fresh destination explains the concepts behind everything from hybrid electric vehicles to ocean wave energy. It also gives overviews of home, building, and industrial energy efficiency, telling how various components and approaches can be used to make daily life better. The site features videos, highlighting wind energy and solar power among other renewable sources, and includes an energy term glossary. Be sure to check back often, because Energy Basics will be expanding and adding new information over time.
