I just read an article on how nuclear power can be used to produce biofuel instead of using fossil fuels to produce it, thus lowering co2 emissions. I'm looking for an article like explaining how a different renewable energy source could also cut down emissions associated with hybrids. Anyone know of any? Please and thanks!

Um........ Also i don't need disadvantages and history so please don't just paste something from a site cause I really need this for robotics so don't want to spend too much time on reading. Thanks!

How much energy can be harnessed from this source? What is the efficiency of the windmills? Is it really economically feasible? Considering it costs billions to make those windmills.
Sources to websites are appreciated.

What is the best alternative energy source?

some energy sources could be nuclear(most promising in my opinion), wind power, solar, and others.

Wind Farms around Southern California?

Particularly around San Diego County?? When I was younger and lived at Orange County, my family and I used to drive up to a relative's place and there would always be wind farms around. They're just so beautiful!

Now, we lie in the north San Diego County area and I miss them very much. I would just like to see them, like to drive past them again. Does anybody happen to know where the closest wind farms are? Or if not thattt close... just any wind farms around California?

Like if a hurricane happened or some other natural disaster occurred would the variety of the renewable energy sources such as wind and solar bode well for those who depended on them?

I would like to know how wind velocity and the size, weight and composition of the blades determine the amount of energy produced. I have no background in physics or engineering, so I would appreciate and assistance or guidance with respect to wind power generation. Thanks.

Hi, I really would appreciate some help with an assignment i am doing. One of the tasks is to Create a time-line describing the development of wind energy production and the role it will play in the future. Any web sites any one can offer would be great! and it doesn't matter what date the time line starts at, i just really need some help. Please. And thank you.

I need to understand the different CO2 quantities by mass produced through pyrolysis? MSW, Animal residues, biomass from agriculture, switchgrass as an energy crop, forest residues and finally used tires....

what site do I find all of the manufacturer companies of Renewable Solar Energy Equipment in Australia I would like a site that would give contacts, . So far I can't even find a site..

can any one help me soon as posible

What are the Pros of Wind Energy?

im writing an essay on wind power, and i have to write 3 pros about it. i already put that its cheap and environment-friendly, but i need another one. i have to be able to write a paragraph on it too. thanks!

Drilling off all of our coastline? A thinking leader should consider alternative options. I see nothing but greed in this plan. As our communities are destroyed, oil prices won't decrease in price. The oil companies will keep getting richer.

He really scares me.

if uranium needs to be mined from the earth, wont it run out some day? and if what will replace it? there has to be something or else they wouldnt call nuclear energy a renewable resource.

All I ever hear republicans talk about is nuclear energy, shale oil(which is very costly), or drill baby drill. I just wish they would get with the program. It looks like they are out of touch.

I really want to start an energy company, using the big wind turbines. I have a location which i think may be suitable. I was wondering if i could get a government grant or loan to where i could make my dream possible. can anyone help me to understand the process?

ok so my project is to design an eco tourist resort. I have to do a map and a written piece explaning my reasoning and watever for why I put things where I did. I need to know where the best place is to put a wind farm in the southern hemisphere. Also is this the most eco friendly way of gaining electricity? any help is appreciated..thanks in advance :)

I am looking to find the bilateral relationship between the USA and Spain in regards to energy.

Please only respond if you are positive of your answers please, i cannot afford to get any questions wrong thanks!

What force or forces constitute the fundamental source of energy that generates wind movement and circulation?
Choose one answer.
a. Pressure differences in the atmosphere
b. Radiant energy of the Sun
c. Coriolis Effect
d. All of the above

I know that some people think that we should focus on increasing energy efficiency and energy conservation rather then alternative energy sources. Why? Also, what is the difference between energy efficiency and energy conservation?

I'm interested in solar power in particular, but everything is game. I'd like suggestions on appropriate majors and/or courses, and work experiences/jobs I should look out for.
Are there any universities where strides in this field are being taken/interesting research is being done?

Not: Why shouldnt oil companies be able to write off drilling expenses? I get to write off my business expenses.

Is there any other things that wind turbines do that are good, other then produce energy? for example jobs? Any others....
Thanks : )

Gravity is a natural force that pulls down, therefor it should be possible to get some energy out of it.

And heat is a free and limitless energy source, i think.

Has anyone looked into this???
If so what came of it?

My electricity bill has been so high for the past few months. I used to pay around 0.00 last year but this year it is a whopping 5.00. I am fed up and ready to switch over to something that is going to save me money. Any advice?
