Maybe because 99% of their energy plants are from COAL,OIL and NATURAL GAS.

Do they have to use coal? No
Whether you live in the south or the southwest alternative energy is still a viable source of energy.
Solar, Wind, Geothermal and other alternative sources are available to The Southern Company.
They are BIG OIL. Thats why they dont want to change.
Americans are not stupid.
CHANGE OR YOU WILL BE FORCED TO.
THATS GOES FOR DEMOCRAT/REPUBLICAN/LIB/CON/JACKASS/WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS.

I know that Metropolitan Community College in Kansas City offers certs in solar energy. What other colleges offer these?

Please tell me some disadvantages and advantages of using solar energy. I also need to know why it is a renewable resource. Can you also tell me how much of of solar energy is left and how long it will last. Thank you so much. [Tell me some websites to vist about this information]

I have read articles about wind, solar, alternative fuels, and hydro power in The Mother Earth News. Who has used these alternative resources?

want to install it?
want to design it?
want to manufacture it?
want to market it?
want to crew on a sail boat?

I am looking for a wind turbine which is a scaled down version of those big wind turbines. It has to be 18 inches in diameter or a bit bigger, but not bigger than 2 feet. I need it for an experiment that I am designing for my design course.

Anyone know where I can find a wind turbine of that size online.

For domestic and industrial sectors , what are the round figures of renewable electricity rates?
Where can I find such prices on the net?

Thank you all.

Im doing this for school and its like an assignment, im suppose to find name of a scheme like nuclear generation power or wind farms but i dont know the names, help?

What are the mathematics/equations specially deal with wind power/wind turbine, in any way?
Thank you!

please be quick I have to submit by Friday

What factors might detract from creating cars with higher fuel efficiency or cars that use alternative energy sources?

Like winter power, solar energy and biomass fermentation?

I want to build my own windmill for electricity

fire, gas, electric, wood fire, ice blocks and a fan? What works for you, how green is it and why it works for you? Anyone have any additional costs associated with installing or using these options? Any installation professional, or self? What would you say are pros and cons to alternative power sources? What do you think is the cheapest, easiest way to power a home? Would like to hear from folks who have added alternative power sources to their homes and hear your experiences.

I have an oral presentation to do on Metal hydrides as an alternative energy source. I tried to do some research on metal hydrides and all I come up with are published scientific research papers and people selling cells of metal hydrides.

I don't want you to do my homework for me; I want to do it myself. But, could someone give me like an introduction or overview of Why/how is metal hydrides an energy source?

Thanks and 10 points for best answer!

i need the most recent data please this is the only hole people can seem to poke in my debate case is bat deaths and that's because i can't seem to find an argument against it so please give me information with a low number or a way to counter this.

I'm doing a project for school and need to know why we have a cap on renewable energy, is it because it's unreliable, or is it because the technology isn't there yet?

If all troops had plug-in electric scooters it might help us survive the Depression in the USA. Maybe Obama's Stimulus Package has included this great idea.

I am by no means an expert on this subject, but I do have one idea I would like to throw out there. Would it be feasible to somehow place wind turbines at the top of skyscrappers or any tall buildings far that matter? I know that doubling the altitude of turbines increases wind speed, which would increase energy out. Dosen't make sense to put a turbine on a very tall building?

A primary eletric with backup
A primary water heating with backup
A primary heating with backup
All while being energy efficient, while trying to "stay off teh grid" and be self sufficient.

Well, I don't know much about wind power and I was wondering if I could go completely off the grid with wind power, or do I need to have a backup like solar? How much would it cost to buy a wind turbine and have it installed? Since I'd be making electricity on my own land, would it be free? Can I use wind power for heating my home?

Sorry it's so many questions.
I meant once I install it, would I get electricity free?

for a science project i have to make a wind mill or wind turbine ( a small one no taller than a foot long) and then i have to measure which shape of the blade creates the most amps..how should i connect it to an amp meter and where can i get materials to make one?
how should i get the wind turbine to connect to the generator and the meter..do u know anywhere to buy pre made small windmilll/windturbines to hook up to generators

i am doing a project on acid rain
i need to find some information on alternative energy sources to help prevent acid rain

i need to know what would be the pros and cons of the alternative energy sources

i need links as well so plz help me.
