Renewable Energy At Home

I'm writing a report for school on the future of renewable energy (including wind, water, solar, geothermal, and biofuel), and want to give some real world examples of how renewable energy is being used effectively today. What strikes you as some of the best real world examples you've seen or heard of? Geothermal energy used [...]

Skeptics have always maintained that if alternative energy was viable in a free market economy, they would already be in use. Proponents of global warming have always criticized skeptics as being stupid, uniformed and uneducated for maintaining this position and that alternative energy was indeed viable. It turns out shell oil has backed out of [...]

What is the amount of solar energy required to drive a 250 pound cart with a 250 pound person 10 miles? How many square feet of recharged paneling would be required? If you are willing to go slowly enough, all you need from the solar panel is enough to overcome static friction to get the [...]

My friends and I are fundraising to get solar panels. We want to have two ground stands and use utility and solar power. How much would this cost? You have not really defined your needs enough to get a good estimate of how much it will cost. My rough guess would be that you are [...]

What is the career called that deals with renewable energy, and teaches students how to design things like, solar panels and wind powered generators. What universities of colleges offer the course? Also can someone provide a link to the college or university page that deals with their renewable energy course. Does anyone know about the [...]

It is for an energy assignment in science about alternative energy. You know the usual stuff solar power wind power all that stuff. what do you have to think about when you're thinking about choosing an alternative energy source mainly local environmental impact. eg. daming a river for a hydro turbine is no loger considered [...]

Right now I have so many power cords all over the place, I just want to clean things up and have one main power cord to connect everything. Can someone recommend a good one and where I can get it. Thanks! There isn’t one. Each device needs its own cord, which you connect to a [...]

I predict: Political correctness will turn in to political repression. We will have massive inflation, with energy cost soar as the global warming legeslation takes hold. The imigration problem will be solved as illegals go home to find work. Iran will become a nuclear power, threating world peace. Maybe even starting WW III. We will [...]
