What are your views on alternative energy research?

I just want to know what you think about researching alternative ways for green energy.

Such as wind turbines and solar cells, and what not.

Totally for it.

The US operates on about 10% renewable or alternative energy sources right now and I think we should definitely keep looking for ways to keep harnessing and improving on these numbers. Anything we can do to reduce our reliance on fossil fuels and switch over to alternative energy is great. It not only makes us a more independent nation it makes us a greener, cleaner, healthier, and wealthier nation as well with greater prospects for our future.

The majority of what we use right now is #1 Biomass/Bio-fuel and Hydroelectric at a close second. I hope that we can start more wind energy programs. Biomass is great because it creates a potential way to get rid of our garbage problem (which is another substantial problem) while providing energy…so it is a double victory) The fact that it is responsible for 51% of our renewable energy sources is great!

Wind, geothermal, and solar energy technology on a mass scale are somewhat harder to use because they need large open spaces to work productively, they are expensive and with geothermal there isn’t a source available geologically to every nation.

The geothermal energy plant technology is totally there if we had more areas within the US to take advantage of it we would be set. It is relatively easy to tap into and almost nonexistent as far as cost goes to operate once you do. It is just a matter of finding those darn underground patches of volcanic activity. About 30-35% of Iceland is fueled by geothermal power now.

I hope that research will fine tune wind and solar energy so that it can become affordable for the everyday Joe like myself and there could be the potential to have a wind turbine or solar panel in my backyard or on my roof in the next 10 years with out costing me $30,000 like it would now to install the solar. (I have researched it and had companies out to do solar assessments multiple times) As it is it is still just too expensive for many to make it a reality even with incentives and tax rebates.

I have NO idea how to start my report on renewable energy sources?

Can someone please help me with an intro and what I should talk about. I have to compare 3 types of renewable energy sources. I already chose geothermal energy but I need two more, which 2 are also the best?

I have no idea how to start it, should I start talking about one source or introduce them all together? HELP PLEASE :(

talk about all 3 in your intro then in your body paragraphs talk about about each one separately. Some other ideas: cars running on water, solar panels, wind power

hope i helped

What should I major in in college if I want to get a job developing alternative energy technology?

I’d like to get a job helping to develop alternative energy sources like wave, tidal, and geothermal energy, but I’m not sure what the best college major would be for a field like that. Any suggestions?

Physics/Physical Chemistry, you would likely need to get a master’s and a PhD after your undergrad where you would do your thesis and doctoral work in the specific area you were interested in.

I need to no what conventional and alternative energy is?

I have this huge geography test tomorrow and i was away alot of the time for this class so i didnt get any of the notes i need so i need to no everything possiable about the following :
conventional energy
alternative energy
sustainabilty
hydrogen
energy
water

Anything will help!

Thanks!

I’ll give you one to get you started.

alternative energy is energy derived from sources that do not harm the environment or deplete the Earth’s natural resources. Typical sources include wind and solar. Nuclear power is usually excluded from this definition.

Wish to Know About Renewable Energy Solar Wind Technology? Look for Enerlix!

If you’re concerned about your mother earth and the atmosphere in which you are living then it is the right time to act. It is necessary to act if we are well-determined to give a clean and idyllic planet to out future generation. It is only possible with the joint efforts of all the human beings existing on this earth.

A study estimates that mankind will face an excessive shortage of energy resources in the upcoming period of time. It is basically because the present sources of energy are limited (non-renewable) and will unable to meet the requirements of the population pressure of the future.

The limited sources of energy normally include the supply of natural gas, coal, petroleum, etc. to meet the needs of industries, various sectors and the common man. It will now take millions of years to attain the same stage where one can avail the same quantity of renewable sources which people were using to meet all kinds of needs some decades ago. In addition to this, an excessive use of the burning fuel is also promoting the threat of global warming in the entire planet.  

What can be a sensible solution to the problem when in the upcoming decades we will lose all the major but limited sources of energy after doing immense amount of damage to the atmosphere in which we and all the other species survive?

We can get a better answer to this question with the help of renewable sources of energy. It is a matter of debate since past whether the non-conventional sources of energy are proficient enough to meet the ever increasing demand of energy throughout the world.

It is a fact that most of the people including a great margin of researchers and scholars not only believe but guarantee that non conventional sources including wind, solar, tidal and geothermal energy can be more competent to the rising needs of the mankind in contrast to the traditional conventional sources of  energy. One better source of renewable energy is solar wind.

Like all the other renewable sources the best part of going for the renewable energy solar wind is that you can avail one more means by which it is possible to generate good amount of energy without polluting the atmosphere of earth. Like other renewable sources of energy you can avail all kinds of information about renewable energy solar wind with the help of internet. There are some of the good sites available on the internet which can provide necessary services on renewable energy solar wind for free! One such site is Enerlix, formerly known as Energyportal24.

Enerlix can be advantageous to you in many ways. It is counted among the superb market places for the environmental technologies. Enerlix is a site which is highly supportive to the user. With the help of navigation bar available on the site one can get in touch with all kinds of information including news, press releases, and events on all the topics including renewable energy solar wind technology. You can gain good information as well as submit your own opinion in the form of content for free. You can avail free online tools, articles, and publishing events after registering with Enerlix.
