Wind power electricity is not a new phenomenon. Wind farms have been generating power for public utility companies for nearly three decades. It isn’t until recently with worldwide economic collapse and a new realization of the finite nature of fossil fuels that government’s world wide are paying closer attention to this energy source.
Today we live in a world where fossil fuels (oil, natural gas and coal) provide more than 90% of the total energy. The energy needs are increasing and it is estimated that fossil fuels will be depleted in not so distant future. The need to look for alternative sources of energy is therefore a priority.
In a stunning show of intellect, a writer for Worldsnest, tapped an unlikely source to create a homemade energy system: the garbage can. He has created a 6 kwh solar power system for about $6,000. A comparable 6 kwh solar power system done with PV panels and a professional installer costs about $60,000.
Since the whole world is in the middle of an energy crisis, it’s important for us to start learning about renewable energy solutions. The best part about them is they won’t run out anytime soon. Plus, these are considered to be non-pollutants to our environment. Probably the most important part you’re thinking about now is being able to save some money on bills. Hopefully the information we provide today will shed a little light on the subject.
Solar lights are the wave of our illuminating future. While we have used the energy of sunlight for eons, we have only recently been able to efficiently harness and manage this power. Solar lights are a step in lighting our journey toward a more Earth-friendly tomorrow.
A primary source of energy (7% of the power consumption in the US comes from this source) is hydroelectric energy. This energy is being created by utilizing the forces of falling or flowing water. This process is analogous to the process used in harnessing wind energy using wind turbines.
Hydro-power has been used for a variety of functions over the years. It was used in flour mills, where water-wheels turn a shaft, that ground the flour, and even in irrigation system thousands of years ago. These days, it has a more prominent role as a renewable source of energy.
The following paragraphs summarize the work of energy experts who are completely familiar with all the aspects of energy. Heed their advice to avoid any energy surprises.
Renewables like wind and solar received only $45 billion. Give or take a few billion, Obama had matched that by Day 29 of his administration. Renewable energy production should become a core strategy for rural revitalization in those regions the old economy left behind. Wind farms, solar farms, energy crops, methane conversion, bio-refineries, and land and forest carbon sequestration services all should become sources of income, jobs and property tax revenues in rural areas.
RE: @TheGoGreenBlog well, Al Gore is a big fat idiot and even if cleared of all these charges, he's still a big fat id… http://disq.us/gm5zz
hey @TheGoGreenBlog! check out our #tequila! our mission is to promote #organics and #sustainable agriculture
My name is Michelle Janosi and I’m a part-time blogger about Going GREEN and saving the environment.
Back in March of last year, I stumbled upon a website about ‘Going GREEN’. I didn’t know it at the time but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become an advocate for the environment and hope to share with others who also are concerned about our planet's future.
Read more about why everyone should go green.
