Energy Links

The following are links to reputable information sources regarding current energy issues. In the past year, a MULTITUDE of websites have appeared on the web; to list them all is impossible. The following list opens the door to sites where you can find out about carbon emissions, global warming, green building/sustainability, energy use and conservation, peak oil, and alternative energy resources. At the top of the list is the New Hampshire Carbon Challenge, which has done so much to inform and motivate us. Try out their Carbon Estimator!
