Norms Green Energy

Posts Tagged ‘Solar Wind’

People around the world are using it, I’ve ridden the clean quiet green public transit systems,
I’ve seen the windmills, ridden the bike lanes, etc. I’ve showered with the solar shower, turned on the lights and watched TV on the web with it too. And it wasn’t expensive.
Conservatives are against it, and they say it’s just too expensive.
Should I believe them? Is it wrong to believe my own eyes and ears?

I live in a country where we have a lot of green solar and wind energy.

people don’t support it because they don’t make as much money from it as eventually you can have your own solar and wind turbine so you don’t have to buy it from electrico grids.

I have noticed this happening over the last 3 years and find it bizarre how so many conservatives are now coming around after being so against clean energy. Why is this?
I imagine they will because they seem more concerned with blending in than taking a stand for what they believe in.

Those on the right fail to see the vast potential for green energy. Switching over to green energy sources will most certainly boost our economy and create countless jobs. Of course there will be jobs lost in the fossil fuel industry, but it will be gradual and not immediate. For every job lost, there will be new jobs created in the research and development of new products, in the manufacturing of those new products, and in the installation and maintenance of those new products.
Let’s pretend for a second that global warming/climate change doesn’t exist. What’s the WORST thing that could happen? The Earth gets CLEANER? That’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make even IF thousands of scientists are somehow wrong.
Nuclear energy is not a viable option for a number of reasons. Nuclear power plants may not produce AIR pollution, but they do contaminate ground water and soil. Then of course there’s the nuclear waste produced by nuclear power plants that NOONE in their right mind would want stored anywhere near their home.
Fossil Fuels are appropriately named because they’re beyond outdated. They are the fuel of the past. It’s time we look to the FUTURE and tap into the vast potential of clean, renewable and abundant energy resources such as solar, wind and hydro power!

i live in southern alberta and want to be in renewable energy.. any suggestions?

I may not understand your question. If you want to learn how to size/install about renewable energy, there is a college that teaches that: http://www.sanjuancollege.edu/pages/4003.asp

They turn out great students and are one of the top renewable energy colleges out there! (I know, we’ve hired folks who have graduated from there before)

If you don’t want to devote that much resource/time to it, there is alot of free learning, including free webinars at www.altestore.com. And there are also places that offer online and offline courses for $ like SEI http://www.solarenergy.org/ and MREA http://www.the-mrea.org/

I hope that helps!

How are renewable and non-renewable energy sources diffrent?List two examples of each of these types of energy

I am glad you are interested in this question because it is important that we should reduce our reliance on non-renewable resources. Future generations will not thank us for wasting such resources.

Coal and oil are examples of non-renewable energy sources. They are fossil fuels obtained from the ground and were created millions of years ago during a phase in the earth’s development that is over. So as we use these resources less is available for the future. Furthermore burning fossil fuels creates pollution.
Solar panels and wind mills are examples of renewable resources because collecting such energy has little or no impact on its availability for the future.

But it may be worth pointing out that the term "renewable" is confusing. What we really mean is "sustainable".

Best wishes for a more sustainable future.

I’ve already found a few, such as the University of New South Wales – Photovoltaic/solar energy degree. However, I would like to fully know all my options for undergraduate degrees in solar energy/wind energy/renewable energy etc. Most other programs I’ve found have been standard engineering degrees, which lead to graduate work in the subject. Any university in the world is the scope, as I’m not committed to residing with the United States.

I think Slippery Rock University
