For a culture so advanced in technology ,why are there no alternate energy sources?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 15:37:13 +0000

Now before I start let me define what I am talking about more.The three letter word oil ,instead of fighting over oil,the money used to fight,could it not be better used to create a alternate to oil with todays advanced technology..I know there has been alternates the electric car and ethanol.
But what generation is it going to be that makes the changes,to push for a better cleaner fuel.We have the resource when will it be that we are going to utilize those resources?
Let me clarify something also,todays society has put money above all else.We need to work harder to provide a better future for our next generations instead of just doing for ourselves.For we will soon perish from this earth,but will the future be doing or undoing what we should be doing is the question?

Why didn’t the Big 3 Auto Makers heed the signs years ago and re-tool to produce alternate energy vehicles?

admin — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 03:05:09 +0000

They've seen this crisis coming for years now. Why didn't they wise up and change their ways earlier? Why did they just keep building bigger and bigger gas-guzzling SUVs that sold for higher and higher prices? Now the market, the streets, and the parking lots are all flooded with them and it will be years before we work through this inventory with more fuel-efficient cars or public works for more public transportation.

Were these Detroit-dudes really just cigar smoking fat cats, arrogant in their old ways, and truly oblivious (or uncaring) as to what was coming?

Now their lack of foresight has caught up with them and so versus biting the bullet and accepting bankruptcy (which is what happens in a free market economy when you stop producing what the public wants or needs), they come crying to tax payers for a bail out, as if they had no idea this would ever happen to them for not keeping up with the times.

What is the insider's knowledge of the Big 3 that would be more telling and insightful as to how this monstrous fiasco ever happened? If tax payers bail them out, we and our children and their children may be paying for it..for decades.

Why is Wind Energy a Good Alternative Energy Source?

Wind energy is the best solution to most of our home energy bill problems. Now that there is an ongoing economic crisis and the price of everything is going up, it is highly recommended that we look for alternative energy sources that we can use. This is to cut down cost and help us save money. One of the best solutions is the wind energy.In addition to helping us lessen our expenses on home energy, it is also environment friendly. Unlike most energy sources that release chemical substances into the atmosphere, wind generators only uses wind power. It has no other byproducts that can damage our atmosphere causing ozone thinning and many other related problems. The only thing that the wind generator will produce is the cheap energy that you can use in to power the appliances in your house.However, having wind generators installed by experts may still cost much. For homeowners, it would not make sense if you have to spend thousands of dollars in something that will only reduce your home energy bill by a hundred dollars per month. You would need to use and wait for several years for your investment to pay back.To make this alternative energy source cheaper, you can install it by yourself. This is the reason why many homeowners now prefer to use this energy source. There is now an available guide to help us through the installation process. This systematic guide also has tips to ensure the proper installation of the wind generators. The guide or manual also contains information on the maintenance of the wind generator so that you do not have to contact a technician in case there something is wrong with your generator.The DIY kit and the manual are much cheaper than the ready-made wind generator allowing you to save money even during the installation of it. All that you have to do is buy the kit, avail the manual and assemble it. Your wind generator will be up and running in no time saving you money from energy expenses. The guide is very easy to understand and includes some schematic plans to ensure that you are putting the right parts in the right position. If you are still having trouble installing the wind generator, you can look for help online.Before putting up a wind generator, consider the location of your home. If you live in the city and surrounded by tall buildings, of course, wind generators is not applicable for you. As the name of this energy source implies, there should be wind to make it run and tall buildings can obstruct wind in reaching your house. For this, a suggestion is the solar panel as your alternative energy source.

Solar Options

admin — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 02:02:07 +0000

Juan Trevino asked:

Two solar power technologies exist, one which is passive and another which is active. The passive system can be the photocell panel or the photovoltaic film that receives the sunlight and generates electricity. The active system is a solar dish that captures sunlight, heats water to produce steam, which in turn powers a turbine produces electricity. The Active system can also heat a gas to move a Stirling Engine which moves a power generator.

The passive system is ready to go and there are a few homes that have already installed the system. This system is totally clean backed by the DOE Solar American Initiative, requires space to position the panels or film, and uses an inverter unit to turn direct current into alternate current homes can use. The Power generating companies have also developed the Net Metering system to buy the electricity from the homes that have generate a surplus on their terms. The new federal tax law (“Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008”) effective January 2009 will provide a 30% of the cost of a solar system back to the home owner that installed it. Some States are also providing large incentives to install solar systems The rest of the payback has to come from the real savings generated over time by the system from the Utility company. This great system is expensive as of today and could require up to 6 years for payback. Photovoltaic film or photocell panels are low efficiency and voltage, and compare badly with the option of buying electricity from the utility company. They are costly either because there are not enough producers, they may be using the correct manufacturing procedures, and or because they are collecting their return on investment from the research in creating the photocells. They could also be purposely costly to protect the current centralized power generators. Currently you require from 15 to 30 photocell panels to generate the 2.5 to 3.0 Kilowatt hours generating capacity.

Walmart has established a pilot plan to install photovoltaic panels in several of their stores. If the system produces a return, they will massively implement it in all their stores, since they have sufficient roof space currently not utilized.

The solar system that uses heat to produce steam and power is mainly for large power generating companies and not for homes. However, the active system based on a Stirling engine to power a generator, applicable for homes is not ready to go. Although all of its components have been developed, no one has yet integrated the solar power generating kit, or a home appliance. This system should be very low cost because it requires: a solar collector or dish, a closed circuit tube filled with gas for the stiriling engine, the 3 KW per hour power generator, and a battery bank, to store electricity if the system is a stand alone system. If the home is currently supplied by a utility company, then the battery bank is not needed and the Net Metering system with the public utility company can be used.

Apparently there is a race to develop the stiriling engine from companies in America, New Zealand, India, Sweden, and other countries. A few companies are receiving funding from investment funds to develop the stiriling engine for this home appliance. However, the race is not required because there will be enough room for all suppliers. Markets are huge. Just in United States alone there are 124 million homes that could use the solar power appliance, plus commercial and industrial sites. These companies will have to lobby, compete and go up against big business interest and big government. Homes, commercial and industrial establishments in every country in the world would be a potential customer for these systems, because they would use a small space to position the solar collector, two tubes going to the solar dish, the power generating box, and the battery bank box. With this solar unit, you could power any site in the desert or the wilderness, and provide them with modern comforts they lack today.

Having the home powering appliance, can be the initial steps for returning to sustainable systems. Today, the sun is there fore light and warmth, free for all of us to use and enjoy. A home solar powered generator would provide clean energy, and allow equal footing to all nations rich and poor, to devote their funding into other worthwhile social services such as health and education. Rich nations which have electrical grids and power generation capacity would suddenly feel there would be no need to continue increasing Power generation capacities and hopefully they would discontinue all those plants that contaminate.
