Also could anybody provide me with a detailed conclusion as to which of these energy sources would be best to supply England's electricity needs comparing all 3 to each other weighing up the pros and cons.I will give best answer to most detailed and helpful answer.Thanx in advance

Energy is neither created or destroyed. We take trillions of Watts out of the air currents every day to generate electricity.

What is the environmental impact of reducing the amount of energy in the air streams?

Since this energy moves water around the planet, does removing this energy for electrical generation also remove the ability for the air to move this water?

If the air no longer has the ability to move the air with higher water concentrations to areas with lower water concentrations, this would cause floods and droughts where they wouldn't normally occur.

Are we creating a new problem with wind power? Are we creating 'Global Calming'?

Anything that can be used to make heat or electricity without unsustainable fuels and which does not make a net contribution of carbon dioxide to the atmosphere. This includes wind power, waves and the tides, solar energy, geothermal energy and biomass. Nuclear power, although it is low-carbon, cannot be counted as a renewable source of energy because its fuel, uranium, is finite.
How does all of that help our future? Thank you.

I would like to convert my house to total wood power, perhaps run a steam powered turbine for electricity. Also thought about solar power but I live in Michigan. Any suggestions?

the most profitable field when it comes to renewable energy is solar power. It seems as if the biggest “controversy” regarding solar power is the amount of space required for the solar panels to capture the solar energy which is converted to electricity.

I can pay extra money each money to my electric company and (supposedly) get my energy from wind power. This supposedly helps save the planet.

Why can't I buy nuclear energy? France gets 80% of their electricity from nuclear power. There is an endless supply and it doesn't give oil money to the terrorists in the middle east.

I need some websites to help me with a physics project on alternative energy, it includes diagrams or pictures or data or graphs or charts and an explanation on each one, they are solar (heating and electricity), Tidal power, Wind power, Wave power, Biomass and Geo Thermal.

If i were to buy10 wind turbine's and put them on my land and sold the electricity to the power company ,can i make any real profit. I live by Lake michigan.

For a science fair project for my school I am building a small wind turbine. If you were to measure the amount of electricity produced, would you use watts or volts? Thanks.

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

Can I have a wind farm in my front yard? Solar?
How about coal driven turbines in my back yard?
Can I have a razor wire chain-link fence up against the sidewalk to guard it?
Do I get any money if I put electricity out into the grid?
Oh and it's all in an urban environment.

replace coal, much less coal and oil???

Never mind that solar works ONLY when the sun shines and wind turbines only work when the WIND blows, and that there is NO way to effectively store large amounts of electricity....

What’s to keep me from owning a big property, owning my own renewable energies (Solar, wind, geothermal) and then convincing my neighbors to use my energy and not the utility's electricity? I'm talking everything transformers, diagnostics the works.

I want to generate electricity of about 7 kwh per day at home with 240 volts. Is it possible? Wind energy? What would be estimated cost?

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.

I'm no expert in thermodynamics, but it seems like it must be possible to harness the excess heat in the ocean to generate electricity or create some kind of stored energy.

A man wants to build a windmill to generate electricity. What type of energy is the man trying to take from the wind?

movement energy
-chemical energy
-potential energy
-heat energy
-positional energy

I'm building a house right now and i'm searching in the internet how to save money for my electricity. Any advise about alternative energy resources is appreciated ...Thanks

AC was introduced to transfer electricity more efficiently over long distances, it wouldn't really be needed in a home system. Since most home systems produce DC, it gets turned to usable AC with a significant loss of energy.

So, do you think we will start seeing a growing DC power section in the area of electric powered devices in stores?

Solar, Wind, Tidal, Telsa electricity from the atmosphere and other sources of alternative energy?
Are the days of petroleum powered cars numbered?

I'm doing some research and have trouble distinguishing the difference between these three types of energy sources.

So far, I have Conventional energy widely used/practical energy sources like oil, gas and coal. My assumption is that they're the primary 'standard' energy sources the world currently uses for their electricity and power since the industrial revolution.

I'm having trouble with the next two energy sources..

Conventional Alternatives, I put that at energy sources that produce less environmental waste and could be used to replace conventional energy sources. An example would be biofuels being used to replace oil/gas for cars. I guess Nuclear power could go under this energy source as it could be used to replace coal in North America but places like France have 90% of their cities powered by Nuclear - would this mean it's a conventional energy source for France and a conventional alternative to North America? I don't know..

As for Non-conventional energy.. I put this at energy sources that produce the least amount of environmental waste but are completely unpractical to implement. My example would be hydrogen powered cars because there is no current infrastructure to support Hydrogen fuel gas stations if consumers were to buy them.

I'm just purely guessing here - please share if you disagree or agree with my definition. Also If anybody knows what category other energy sources like wind, solar, and thermal energy belong to, I'll be super grateful.
