Will The Stimulus Help Cities Turn Their Trash Into Energy?
June 27th, 2009 Leave your comment »
Jamie Green asked:
With virtually every city in the country pitching ideas to the President in a bid to get a piece of the $800 billion stimulus package, a number of ideas have been laid on the table. A number of these ideas revolve around renewable energy and achieving energy independence. While some ideas are not much more than experiments, the impact may actually be beneficial, and a couple of these projects even aim to reduce landfill off-gassing and accumulation.
The first project to be mentioned comes from Beaumont, Texas. The government of Beaumont is asking for 5 million dollars of stimulus money to create a landfill hydrogen plant. This plant aims to utilize solar energy to convert methane emitted at landfills into hydrogen and natural gas, which can be used as a source of energy.
The project would employ fifty people, but draws significant opposition because the process is unproven and largely untested. It is up to government officials to weigh the possible benefits of the program, considering both the chance of success and the environmental impact if the process is both achievable and economically viable. The process has been implemented at a pilot plant in Regina, Saskatchewan in Canada and reports both success and a need for further improvement to decrease costs and increase efficiency.
The second project to be mentioned has actually been proposed by a number of cities. Stamford, Connecticut is one of the cities proposing the idea, and is requesting $50 million dollars while promising 75 new jobs. The money is being requested to build a biomass gasification plant to convert waste into energy. Biomass gasification is actually considered one of the most economically and technically convincing possibilities for creating a carbon neutral economy and a renewable source of energy due to the fact that the process removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and does not emit greenhouse gases.
Biomass gasification works by heating landfill waste to create renewable energy. The process also greatly reduces landfill waste, as the resulting ash occupies only a small percentage of the mass of the original trash. While the technology still has room for improvements in energy costs to run and maintain, it is an excellent and necessary step toward energy independence.
These are but two of the bills on the table for review by the Federal government. While each holds its fair share of supporters as well as opposition, it is ultimately in the hands of the United States government to decide if either bill will pass. As the economy continues to decline, there is hope that the new administration will put considerable attention and funding into alternative energy and that the sheer number of bills regarding various energy technologies will show the government that people are ready to move forward.
The outcome of the stimulus bill will likely be seen shortly as the administration has been in a hurry to distribute the funding in a rush to stimulate spending and create jobs. What will remain to be seen for some time, however, is the ultimate level of success and advancement the country makes based on the results of some of the energy forward ideas being pushed through by the stimulus bill.

Renewable Energy - Lesson 7 - Wind Generators

David J Hughes asked:
Almost every day, one can find an article online or on the news or in print about the environment, living “green”, pollution and the changing climate. While these articles deal with environmental issues on large scale perspectives, there are a number of aspects of the current state of the economy and environment that affect and are influenced by the average middle class citizen.
A good example of a current economic and environmental trend today is the growing popularity of the use of renewable energy sources to provide some if not all of the electrical power in private homes. While solar power is a very popular alternative renewable energy source, many people are also turning to wind power and wind generators to provide them with affordable electricity.
In many Midwest states, one can see examples of the large electric cooperatives using wind power to generate significant amounts of electricity. This wind power is produced by large “farms” of massive wind generators. These generators are essentially oversized propellers mounted on top of very tall towers. The wind turns the propellers which provides the kinetic energy which is turned into electricity.
All of these large generator farms are located in rural or semi rural areas. However, it is possible for people who live in towns and cities to have efficient wind generators. The residential wind generator is simply a downsized version of the larger generator. Most residential wind generators are mounted on top of 20 to 30 foot tall towers or on top of shorter towers mounted on the roof of the house. The tower is much less obtrusive than one would think and many are painted to blend in with the color scheme of the house. In some cases, zoning laws might restrict exactly how tall of a tower one may have, but in almost all cases the wind generator can be adapted to conform to the regulations.
Just as with solar panels, the wind generator can be tied into the house’s electrical system and can provide electrical power directly to the house. While it is not generally advisable to try to go off the grid with a wind generator, one will usually be surprised at how much power it can produce on even a fairly calm day. The power the wind generator provides will be applied as a credit on the house’s electric bill, and in many cases will be sufficient to zero out the bill. This can save a family thousands of dollars per year and also has the effect of reducing pollution by indirectly reducing the amount of fossil fuel needed to power the electrical grid.
In all, installing and using a residential wind generator is a smart move for financial and for environmental reasons. With the savings one will get from the reduction in utility costs, many people will be able to recover the cost of the system in the first year alone, and in some cases, there are tax credits available for people who make energy efficient improvements to their homes.

Chris McGee asked:
A few simple tools, wind generator parts from your local hardware store and some used auto parts are all you need to get energy from wind. It’s a breeze to get started with wind power systems. You will be helping our environment and saving yourself some serious cash by building you own wind turbines. Renewable wind energy is worth learning about.
You are very smart to consider wind technology. You must be researching home wind power systems because you heard it is one of the top methods for creating free electricity. Wind is free, right? Do it yourself electricity doesn’t get any better then that.
How much will it cost? In order to build your own wind generator instead of paying for professional installation, it is possible to get your share of wind power generation for under $500. Power companies do not want customers learning how to make a wind generator because it’s an affordable DIY project that hurts them badly. You will see savings in no time.
Wind as a green energy source will be very efficient if you live in an area where wind is readily available. Do you live in an area like that? If you answered yes, then you MUST build your own wind generator. There is no reason why you shouldn’t. Save yourself some money and take part in helping our environment!
There is a little more to know then just building a wind turbine. The motors on wind turbines for homes do require regular maintenance and oiling for continued efficiency, but this is a small price to pay for the excellent energy home wind power systems provide.
There might be permits required and building regulations in your area, so check with your local building regulations before setting up wind turbines for homes.
Don’t you agree it is definitely worth your while to learn more about renewable electric wind generators? By building your own homemade wind energy you can add needed dollars to your pocket and help the environment at the same time. Do you need more reasons then those to get started?
It’s not complicated to build your own wind turbine, takes a little work which is worth all the effort once operational and lowering your electric bill.

Renewable Energy - Lesson 2 - Solar Power

David J Hughes asked:
People have been aware that the sun’s energy can be harnessed to power various devices and machines for years, but it is not until recently that the technology and the motivation has pushed people to seriously consider solar energy as a viable power source.
With the current state of the economy and with the growing move toward a more environmentally responsible lifestyle, many people are considering various forms of renewable energy and “green living” principals. Solar power is usually at the top of the list when it comes to renewable energy sources. Solar power has been used for years by the government and various businesses, but it has only recently come into the mainstream for the everyday average household.
In almost any area of the country it is possible to dramatically cut one’s electric bill by installing and maintaining solar panels. Some people are even able to go entirely off the grid and power their homes completely independently of the traditional local electric company, all by solar power. While going off the grid may be an intimidating prospect for some, there is absolutely no reason why a household cannot install solar panels on the roof and greatly reduce the monthly electric bills.
Until recently, the cost to buy and install residential solar panels has been prohibitively high, and not everyone has the technical know how to do it themselves. However, with the shift toward renewable energy, many companies have seen this as an opportunity in an untapped industry and have started offering solar panels at much more competitive and affordable prices. The installation and upkeep of the solar panels is very easy and affordable. Many households find that they can pay for the solar panels in less than a year through the reduced electric bills they produce.
Obviously, once the panels are installed, the solar power is completely free and produces absolutely no harmful emissions, unlike traditional fossil fuels. As the technology becomes more mainstream, manufacturers and builders are constantly refining their techniques to make the solar panels more efficient, durable and innovative.
Recently, some builders have started to integrate solar power into their overall design by including solar panels as standard features on top of garages and in other unobtrusive places such as the roofs of gazebos, tops of pool houses, and on every available foot of roof space in general. Some pool decks are being built with embedded solar cells. As the renewable energy movement continues, more and more builders will find it necessary to integrate a solar power plan into their overall building plan in order to stay competitive with all the other builders who are doing the same.
Solar power is one of the easiest and best solutions to not only help the environment and climate, but to save significant amounts of money in electric bills as well. With solar power components being more affordable now than ever before, every homeowner should at least consider installing solar panels.

Renewable Energy - The Basics On Solar And Wind Power

Koz Huseyin asked:
The use of Solar and wind power is becoming more and more common, and in demand. As we move forward, we are learning it is not just about humanity we need to take care of, but also nature and our environment. As you read this article, you will discover more about solar and wind power.
As you read this article, you will discover these points about solar and wind power:
* What is solar and wind power?
* Benefits of solar and wind power
* Solar and wind power - which is best?
* What is solar and wind power?
Our everyday actions are only capable of happening because of one thing - energy. Energy which is also referred to as power is essential. Not only is energy essential to make our bodies function, it is essential to make our planet function, and also to make your car go!
Our use of energy for our appliances and making our car function has generally been based on fossil fuels. The problem is that these fuels emit waste into our environment. The solution is alternative energy sources, and here solar power and wind power can become that source.
First, the term solar power is used to describe the number of methods which include the harnessing of energy from our Sun. Wind power uses the power of the wind to transform energy into a more usable energy such as electricity.
Solar power can be used for a number of different purposes. Solar energy can be converted into electricity, with the aid of solar power panels or it can be used directly to heat water.
* Benefits of solar and wind power
There are many benefits of using the energy of the Sun or the wind. The Sun emits a vast abundant stream of life giving energy to the Earth. In one hour, the power from the Sun hitting Earth is enough to power all our electric needs for an entire year!
This is renewable energy, and it doesn’t leave any waste products. Also solar and wind power systems will last a long time. So, each year of use, you will find that you actually go into a profit!
With solar and wind power, not only is no waste produced, it also has the added benefit of not having to burn as much fossil fuels. This can really make a positive difference to our environment.
* Solar and wind power - which is best?
The question now comes, which is best - solar power or wind power? The answer will have to come from you! You see, both options are great; however, it depends on your needs and environment.
For example, living in a very sunny and hot country could result in you going for a solar heating system or entire solar energy for your home electricity needs. Being in a colder country could mean it is better to go for wind power.

Diy wind power is a major part of renewable energy systems. In this age of global warming when organizations are working hard to make people realize that we should adopt a lifestyle that is environment friendly. We must think about making maximum use of some features that nature is providing us. They are cost effective and immensely available. Yes, we are talking about Wind Power. Wind power is used to stop emissions into the atmosphere from conventional power systems. The wind holds remarkable energy and so harvesting it using a windmill is a very cost effective way to make power.
Wind generators called turbines are a good pick for home consumption and you can either use grid connection or battery system, depending on your own preference. On the other hand Renewable energy is sort of unreliable, besides being a difficulty shot to produce. Conversely wind power is much easier to produce and can fulfill almost 50% of energy needs for home consumption. Production of power through renewable means is feasible if you are ready to invest heavily. But if you are looking for an economic way out, with small investment then wind power is for you, and it is really good to be used for home. They come in many shapes and sizes, choose which suits your needs better.
Coming to the wind generator, its main purpose is to generate electricity in the system. Modern wind generator today is known as three-bladed wind generator. They are good for rotor balance and efficient in use. Rotational speed of the wind turbine determines the voltage and frequency of the generator. Wind electric systems can provide electricity on remote, off-grid sites, or right in town connected to the utility grid. So far maintenance and up being is concerned, as compare to solar-electric systems Wind systems asks for more attention and maintenance.
Wind turbines are not limited to only home consumption; they are equally popular in the public work sector. In fact they provide many advantages to public sector buildings, schools, offices and to local authorities. Public sector estate can become carbon neutral. It can benefit from on-grid environmentally sound energy and generate revenue from excess energy production. Small wind turbines protect themselves from high winds by changing the pitch of the blades. Governments are able to eliminate energy costs and reduce carbon emissions, by adopting wind turbine technology. You can understand that wind power has a lot more potential and it is consumer friendly also, besides being environment friendly. And at the end of the day there’s nothing quite like watching your wind generator convert your wind storm into electrical energy…what do you think?

Alternative Energy Group Advocates Use of Wind Power
June 22nd, 2009 Leave your comment »
Anthony Fontanelle asked:
As the crucial voting for energy legislation draws nearer, the American Wind Energy Association or AWEA will be taking a majors step towards advocating the use of wind power for energy consumption. The said group will launch a massive ad campaign today. The said ads are aimed towards supporting the move to have a renewable electricity standard or RES. The advocacy campaign will invade different mediums from TV commercials to print ads.
“The ad campaign is part of a broader effort to focus attention on this crucial referendum on American energy policy,” said Gregory Wetstone, director of Government and Public Affairs of AWEA. “We believe that greater public awareness will translate into more Congressional support for renewable energy sources like wind and solar power, which are overwhelmingly popular, but face well-financed opposition,” he added.
The RES being debated on widely is a mechanism which is based on the market. The RES calls for a fixed portion of the country’s source of electricity to be produced using renewable resources. Today, 25 states have already enacted renewable energy standards. But experts agree that a national RES will be much more beneficial.
This week, the House of Representative will decide on the matter. This issue is being targeted early on because of the increasing awareness to the threat of global warming.
There have been studies conducted to find out the benefits of an RES. According to results of these studies, an RES in place will slow down global warming. With renewable energy sources being tapped, less petroleum fuel will be burned. That translates to less greenhouse gases. This move will be beneficial in the future as automakers are now experimenting with vehicles which run on electricity alone. Automobiles like the Acura CL compressor -equipped luxury car are considered as one of the biggest producers of harmful greenhouse gases.
Another benefit of an RES is that it creates jobs. According to a study conducted by the Union of Concerned Scientists, an RES will help create about 185,000 American jobs. Wind and solar energy are expected to be the biggest source of alternative energy. With a national RES, these industries will experience a boom thus creating jobs for Americans.
Studies also reported that an RES would “revitalize rural America”. According to the studies, rural land owners will be able to take about $3,000 to $8,000 per turbine annually while still being able to work their land. These benefits will be deliberated for sure before the House of Representatives decide on the issue.
