What will the environmentalist have to complain about if we switch to alternative energy sources? Will they start to "Tax" the wind and sun?

Will they come up with new theories saying wind turbines and solar panels are hogging too much natural resources, which is causing global warming, lol??

What next? They already complain about the turbines killing birds?

With sky rocketing oil prices and exponential increase in world population, the world is turning into greener and alternative sources of energy, more than you and I think or can even imagine. The thing is i want in, i want to start my own green power generation company especially in 3rd world war countries where power generation is epileptic and unstable. Any one doesn't matter, wind turbines, marine turbines or bio mass, doesn't really matter to me. Anyone with the same idea?...lets form a partnership, Cos am DEAD serious about this. or anyone can help me with where i can get funds or any thing at all that can lead me to getting one with time, no idea is too small or too big. The future might be filled with flying cars and anti gravity machines, but there's gonna be more wind/marine turbines than you and I could ever imagine.

what type of energy do wind turbines produce? website would also be appreciated.

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.

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?

I see those wind turbines and the floating wave power towers for producing electricity.I was curious, is the Great Lakes good for producing wind and wave power generation like in the Oceans? Thanks!

I'm thinking of making some wind turbines, or just the plans, for sale, , with a quiet design like the ones in these websites:

Also, would this be for a home, cottage, or other building? What voltage output would you prefer?

Please specify your city and country, thanks.

FYI, my first turbine will be to charge an electric car, like the one in this video..

Im curious is anyone has a small wind turbine installed at their house. the reason I ask is because Im looking for someone who is interested in a little project. I'd like to make additional wind turbine blades for other home made wind turbines. I would like you to make a simple mold of the turbine, in return I could send you a duplicate...perhpas made of carbon-fiber resin. anyway, please respond if youre interested. I live in michigan by the way. ~ Ryan

Well I was just randomly thinking... If we build lots of wind turbines in the futures doesn't that mean that as we take energy from the wind for electricity the wind be less effective in pollinating? Therefore... ect ect

Obviously it would take a load of turbines lol. But it could right?
Bohemian_Garnet_Permaculturalist: Thanks, I never even thought about cities.

we would like to buy solar panels and/or wind turbines for renewable energy, but so far all sellers i've found are from the u.s. does anyone know where in the philippines we could buy them? or maybe someplace nearer, like in southeast asia?

I am interested in supplying and installing wind turbines in Michigan. How do I get started?

this is my

Attention getter: wind turbines can produce electricity at cost that are competitive with fossil fuels

thesis statement: Even though the wind doesn't always blow it is still a great source of energy because it is a renewable resource
