"solar power"
Looking optimistically, the best scenario would probably be for every home to have cheap solar panels and a cheap wind turbine , reducing power bought from the power company by maybe 50%. … nuclear isnt a real alternative just like corn based ethanol isnt. nuclear is one of the most expensive energy generating options despite billions in subsidies and is only getting more expensive. wind and solar technologies dont exist on large scales right now but neither does storage …

WIRED's Call to Environmentalists: True or False
I am also very sceptical of the zero emissions argument about solar and wind . Photo voltaics especially have very intricate manufacturing processes which use enormous energy inputs, and wind turbines are built from steel towers and ….. Install the PV panels and feed the lot into the grid . Feel good about your green behind and be done with it. Next thing: buy a trolly bus. They are extremely reliable, cheap and the technology has been around for more than 5 decades (!) …

The ” battery shill” spin has worn thin and has been supplanted by facts. Hydrogen is made from WATER via solar energy , wind energy , microbes, radio waves, sunlight and salt, and other FREE sources of energy . ….. Energy from “sour- grid “- A modern hydrogen system can be charged from a completely clean home energy system. An electric car charged off of coal is as clean as a hybrid . http://greyfalcon.net/plugins3. A hydrogen car charged off of the cleanest grid in the …

My field of work and research (non-native invasive plant management and re-naturalization) has little to do with renewable or alternative energy sources, but is very much dependant on education and volunteer cooperation. …… Ok it takes more power then it gives off but hell it pays for itself when your getting fresh water maybe? We can make solar energy plants in those flat areas to power these things or wind turbines . All we have is speculation and hope. …

In the future , in a rather similar fashion, there might be an optional uplink allowing a Tesla Roadster owner to review the day’s energy use from driving, and chart that against battery performance and even solar green fuel output. …… Apparently wind turbines tend to have higher output at night, too. This can conveniently be stored in your car’s battery for commuting. By the way, while you’re home , your EV could stay plugged-in and used as an emergency supply during a …
