My county is building a natural gas power plant which will cost 7.4 million. How does wind and hydroelectric power compare to that? How much cheaper overall?

i need the equation to work out the power of a wind turbine i found the power of wind= 0.5*density of air* velocity. I seriously need the power that a wind turbine creates so i can find an efficency?

I need 2 major uses for Wind Power! Thanks!

I need 2 major uses for Solar Radiation and Wind Power!

When you consider all the energy transformations that take place between the initial extraction of the energy to providing energy to the average home....

How expensive would wind power be to the USA if we started using it as a primary resource? And also, how much could it save us?
If someone can answer this, please site a source. Thanks!

I have to write a paper and google isn't really working out for me! So if you could explain to me how wind power works as basic and simple as possible it'd be great! thank you!!

is there enough areas in the U.S. to build them?
do they harm the human enviroment?
do they cause pollution, via nuclear waste?
how are the resource availabilty?

Can a small scale wind generator power enough batteries to power a 5 ton air conditioner? And if it can, how large of a battery bank would I need, and would a 220 power converter be good enough.

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.

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

Trying to harness the wind is evil because only God should have the power to control the winds.

What are the drawbacks to using wind turbines or solar panels for providing all power to a home?

A. The wind and sun are not constant, so there would be times when no electricity would be generated.
B. The wind and sun are constant, so there would be plenty of electricity for the home.
C. Wind and solar power are inefficient and too expensive to use and maintain.
D. Wind and solar power are efficient, but they are not able to produce enough electricity for a single home.

Is generating electricity by wind power relatively cheap to run?

what are 3 leading asian coutries for wind power? not including china?

I only invest in small-cap energy based companies like oil, gas, petroleum, and more recently, wind and solar power.

What I would like to know is how exactly do wind and solar power companies make their money? Please, I'd like to understand the industry a bit better. Thanks!

110 litters of air will lift 550 lbs which equals 1 HP
Air bubbles are a constant 24/7/365 where wind is unpredictable,bubbles seem like an over looked energy source,dont they?
I have a secret!!!

Also, how does a wind turbine create electricity?

i just wanted to see how much wind power it would take to hold up a 10lb object in they air to hover or float?
I would like to make a hovering object i want to use a fan to hold up this object and it weighs at most 10lbs. what would be a powerful enough fan to hold this object in the air without falling

I am planning to go for a wind turbine of 500 watts to install for domestic use. With average wind speed of 15km/hr in my location, can anybody suggest me how much energy can be generated by this wind turbine and also which are the appliences to which this energy would sffice?

If there was an accident resulting in deaths at a factory manufacturing solar panels or wind technology, do you think Fox News and Rush Limbaugh would cover it differently than tragic accidents involving coal mining or the petroleum industry?
SEAN: Having worked in solar panel manufacturing for quite a while now, I can tell there are plenty of hazards. Exposure to poison gases and chemicals, electric shock, fire, lasers, robotics, annealed glass to name a few.

JACKASSHOLE: Have you ever heard of windmills? They're still in use today.

I have a 33 feet sailboat. I will like to power it with a wind generator for all our needs, including a little fridge and an ac... its possible? How powerful should it be? Where can I learn more about it?
