Norms Green Energy

Posts Tagged ‘Wind Energy’

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 couldn’t fit nearly enough into my first wind video, and many of the unused clips address questions that viewers have since asked.

I need to take my MS so i would like to learn about renewable energy engineering especially in wind energy.

I don’t know about specific programs in renewable energy as such, but if what you’re interested in is wind power then I think an Electrical Engineering program would suit you well.

Just make sure that the programs you look at have specialized coursework in Power Systems engineering and talk to the faculty to see if any of them are already doing work in that area.

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!
