I know you guys will probably call me an obsessed liberal tree-hugger but I feel like this issue hasn't been touched enough, I even wish obama had touched on global warming a bit more. It's extremely important. This earth won't survive much longer if we don't ditch oil.

What are some types of renewable energy?

What is wind energy?

What are the procedures for producing wind energy?
What are the advantages and disadvantages for wind energy?

Thank you!!!!
xD

How is alternative energy being used in the US?

This is a question on a Home & Economics essay (I know, retarded).

I have looked on google but nothing seems to give me an answer.
any links or information would be good, thanks :)
Do you know specifically?
thanks

Please answer!!!!

If you got it from a source, please list it...

this illustrates which concept :-
a market system
macroeconomics
competition
opportunity cost

So I have a science fair project to do and I want to know if there are any websites or people out there who know how to make a small model turbine. it doesn't need to produce electricity i just need something that looks like those wind turbines in the pictures, but just a model of it. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Does anybody know if there is any federal assistance available in the form of loans or grants to set up a windmill or solar paneling in a private residential house?

Which of the following is NOT considered an alternative source of energy?
A. wind and water energy
B. geothermal energy
C. solar energy
D. natural gas

Geothermal energy is not used worldwide because it is
A. inefficient.
B. geographically limited.
C. nonrenewable.
D. very costly

Fossil fuels include
A. hydrogen, oxygen, and acetylene.
B. wood and charcoal.
C. dinosaur bones.
D. coal, natural gas, and oil.

1 reason its better than water, 1 reason for biomass, 1 reason for nuclear, 1 reason for solar, 1 reason for water, 1 reason for wind.
Please tell me! thanks!

For a project

Which renewable energy website is the best?

What are the best website for someone to learn more about renewable energy?. What renewable energy website do you think is ideal?

Do you like http://www.renewableenergyworld.com and http://renewable-energy-tips.com

Or wait until they have been invented?

a. moves forward at half the speed of the energy
b. moves forward at 1/20 the speed of the energy
c. stays essentially in the same place
d. surfaces to becomes part of the wave speed

I was wondering that since there are so many douche-bags and the supply seems nearly limitless, and is increasing, could I find a way to use them as a fuel source to power our houses and cars? They hold no real value and are in fact a drain on the community and lower property values, so why not use them for something!

What do Liberals want as alternative power?

My experience:

Oil and Coal are dirty and too big of a carbon foot print.

Natural Gas, the collection facilities and the pipeline are dangerous.

Nuclear: We no explanation needed

Wind Power: We are getting close, but what about the impact on the birds (no pun intended) and also the the impact on the scenery

Tidal Generation: No good because it will impact our beaches and sea life.

Solar: Scenery issues and it will also attract more heat and raise local temperatures

Hydro: they don't want to give up the land to create enough pressure and then even with fish ways in might impact the wildlife.

Mind you no arguments about putting in shopping plazas and mini-malls that use a lot of power.

To get power there is aa trade-off, why is it the Liberals expect no trade offs but want the use of oil to stop? What is their solution?

What is the name/title/degree of engineers/scientists who study/deal with alternative sources of energy?

If there are sub specialties in the group please list if you can, thanks so much!!

If all homeowners, invested in grid tied solar, they would have a relatively no maintenance power plan on their roof, that pays back faster in better climates, but would produce consistent power and when paid off, Free power. The deal is when the sun is shining, an you are at work, kids at school, the power company buys your excess power, at night and bad weather they support you. When people like this idea as much as say owning a boat, that paid future sizable dividends, this could be the next .com boom for the economy and we wouldn't need Nukes. Oil will not be replaced overnight but we can be proactive to reduce our dependence on oil. As people buy into owning Solar PV, it will stimulate the economy with jobs. Peace oriented high-tech jobs. For manufacturers, installers, hardware manufacturers, advertising, etc. Make renewable Energy Not War. How many new jobs has Oil created lately and how much have they cost US in subsidies. How many new jobs have defense contractors created lately, and how many have died to keep their stock prices up? Solar PV is an excellent investment and considered an 18% return. It sits on your roof like a small car would do in your garage, is warranted for 25 years, connected to the grip for backup power and the power company buys your power. Someday soon you will own some sort of solar electric, solar hot water, small wind turbine on your garage roof, and plug in Hydro car. Oil companies don't want you to do this. For obvious reasons. You may want to rethink solar and get some local estimates. The Naysayers are parroting Oil and Nuclear propaganda coming from GE and Exxon-Mobile and BP none of whom pay USA income tax.
