Micro Wind Turbines Can Be Added Power Bonus
These micro wind turbines are not likely to be the savior to most homes' electric use, but reducing consumption and production is a step in the right direction to reducing the reliance on fossil fuels. Since wind turbines only work in locations where wind is prevalent, for areas of the country where wind is low, they may not be the best fit. Areas where there seems to be a constant wind blowing are best suited for wind turbines. This can easily be determined by asking the local people, especially the ladies, how the wind affects their hairstyle. >More
Wind Induction Stand Alone Power Supply
A stand alone wind turbine(SAWT) is one that is not hooked up to a power grid at all, but can be hooked up to a reactive power grid to produce power for outlying and rural areas. For many people, there is only one type of energy available, holding them prisoner to the prices that they are forced to pay if they want to have lights and other appliances in their homes. >More
Managing Growth in Wind Energy Production
Abstract: The Energy Information Agency predicts that in the next 25 years, wind energy capacity in the U.S. will grow by 300%.
This paper will address some of the main issues affecting the growth in wind energy production in the U.S. and Michigan including regulatory issues, environmental concerns, and technological barriers. In keeping with a local environmental planning context, most of the focus will be on environmental concerns, including concerns over public safety and welfare, with many references to local policies and regulations. A discussion of wind energy production is certainly apropos as policy-makers are recognizing the problems associated with current methods of energy production.>More
Wind Farm Costs Too Much
The renewable energy phase is really in its infancy. People are bound to experience to failures and successes. Regardless of how much Mr. Pickens is worth, one thing always remains the same, the need for Money! Big innovative projects require large amounts of money. While he had invested billions in the project, he also saw very little investment from others. Another reason the plan failed is that natural gas powered cars are nowhere near being competitive with electric. >More
National Clean Energy Project
What do Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Ken Salazar, Steven Chu, T. Boone Pickens, George Pataki, Van Jones, Wall Mart, the USGBA, AFL/CIO and many other groups all have in common? Clean Energy. On Monday February 23, 2009 they all got together for a round table discussion. The National Clean Energy Project was formed to promote a dialogue on how to deal with the energy crisis and hopefully get to a clean energy based society. >More
Alternative Energy Degree- Get Prepared Today
If you haven't noticed by now alternative energy is big. In fact, it will only getting bigger. The question that everyone should be asking is how can I make some money off this venture? Am I prepared for this big energy boom? Will my job be secure once clean energy comes around? If you are asking yourself these questions you are not alone. Millions of people are struggling and wondering how to make sure they are ready for this green economy. >More
Pickens Plan: Natural Gas - Wind Farms
The Pickens plan is a straightforward plan designed to wean the United States of foreign oil. At the moment we import 70% of our oil. At the moment the price of oil is on a down spike, but keep in mind that not long ago we were paying over $4 a gallon at the pump. Under the Pickens plan, the U.S. would shift to a natural gas economy. Meaning, our cars would be run on natural gas. We would also install many windmills (create over 20% of electricity) over the next five to ten years as well. >More
