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.
Knowing the solar energy pros and cons is one of the most important things in deciding whether or not you should buy this source of power. There are many uses for solar energy, for example, it can be used for generating electricity, central heating, getting hot water, and cooking
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.
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.
Nuclear power has always been seen as a “safe” alternative energy to burning fossil fuels. So much so they today is accounts for about twenty-five percent of worldwide power generation. But here are 7 reasons why nuclear power is not the answer.
Since the early ages when electricity was first introduced, people constantly leaned on their electric companies because they are the main providers of electricity all over the city and it remains constant so long as their bills are paid. People will do everything they can and work hard to afford these electric bills no matter how much they cost because they are a necessary in the modern age with people closely tied with the latest digital devices.
The Efficient Planet guide is not just one book, it’s 3! With 71 pages on how to build a home solar power system, 51 pages on how to build a home wind turbine, and another 50 pages on how to enjoy efficient living at home, this is one comprehensive set of instructions!
You may already have heard about everyday people making their own solar panels but did you know how inexpensive and easy this project can be? It’s true, and you’re not only saving a lot of money doing this yourself but also decreasing the costs of electricity in your home and helping our environment.
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.
