Answer by Jake MWind is.
Solar power technology is expenive to develop. Geothermal reguires you to dig a hole in the ground. Wind mills only require you to put up a turbine, which is cheaper than solar power.

Question by Emily B: Solar/Wind powered energy? What are the percentages of power/energy saved by using solar energy and wind energy compared to what we use on average? Thoughts or ideas?
Best answer:
Answer by Little GigiIf implemented correctly, it can be 1:1 if not 10:1 given the time of day, and the weather.
take a look at the Merry Lea center in Goshen, Indiana or Chicago’s center for green technologies, they are great sources

Solar/Wind powered energy savings?

Best answer:
Answer by Breath on the WindYour questions are a little confusing. In domestic systems the savings you can achieve are designed into the size of the system and not the type of system. You would not say “how much energy can I get from batteries” because you know it depends upon how many batteries. Similarly you can’t ask how fast is a vehicle without knowing how it is More >

Answer by ScottI may have misread your question, sorry if I did.
There is no energy savings by using an alternative source. Most of the alternative sources are in fact MORE expensive. People choose to pay more for solar, wind, and other alternative sources…a lot more in some cases.
As alternative energies become more efficient and cost effective they replace fossil fuels more and more, but there is still a cost to More >

Q&A: The common salt(NaCl) is the big cheap solution to store a great amount of solar/wind energy. Why not…?
Aug 11th
Question by Anthony M: The common salt(NaCl) is the big cheap solution to store a great amount of solar/wind energy. Why not…? ok…
it needs some experimentations, however it seems to work very well… This NaCl peculiarity comes from its high value of the heat of fusion(about 300 kwh/m3 – in addition a little salt mine can easily contain 100 millions m3 of salt…) . It means that solar energy can be used to melt the salt, then it can release heat constantly…
Do you agree?………..

Shouldn’t Obama be pouring a couple billion stimulus dollars to build StateOfTheArt GREEN solar/wind energy?
Jul 8th
If I were him, I’d be setting up plans to build factories that are ‘green’ themselves (no or very little pollution) that build the latest in solar panels and wind turbine technology. Then making people build them all over the place. put solar panels in sun soaked regions of course, and put wind energy in the windiest regions of america.
Shouldnt that create hundreds of thousands of construction and factory jobs? I mean, some people would call it socialism or somewhat communism, but uh… we should rly be #1 in green energy.
PS: we could also build indoor plant factories to More >
