Biomass, Wind, and Solar Energy?

Question

How would this be produced and provided? please please help.

Answer 1

OK... Biomass energy is like taking everyones p**p and putting it into a big well. The heat that p**p creates would rise, and turn a turbine, which creates power.

Wind energy works by the wind actually turning propellers, or windmill fan blades, etc.. again turning a turbine generator, creating power.

Solar energy is used all the time, by just opening blinds up during the winter, to let in the sunlight, to naturally warm the house more.. and with a box, with copper piping in it, and a glass top- you can solar heat water. The black background attracts heat, and the glass top traps the heat in. The pipes get hot, and the water also gets hot.

Water can also be used.. if living near a waterfall or a river, its easy to harness that energy, with a turbine generator, the way a windmill works, only the watermill will turn by the water's natural movement.

Excellent question!!!

Here are some neat sites that you should explore...

Answer 2

The best way to use biomass is to make ethanol, corn just doesn't work.

A windmill making electricity is one of the only types of power plants you want in your backyard.

Then we have solar.  One acre of solar will make more power than ALL other types of energy.

Long after you run out of coal.

Long after you run out of oil.

Long after your nukes stop glowing.

The sun will still be shinning on your one acre of land.

Answer 3

"Supposedly" solar panels installed within someones house is suppose to possibly save someone 50 percent or more in energy costs. Solar panel companies boast that 90 percent of your energy needs will be supplied by the sun, the other 10 percent you pay for in your monthly Electric bill.

Even a better idea is it quote on qoute "eliminates the need for constant use of a boiler" which produces over 75% of a households harmful components that affect our climate (ie global warming)

Now wow your like right now great sign me up I want some right?

We'll I hope your bill gates because each panel is suppose to cost between 4-5k or more and then around 5-7k to have it professionally installed. A supply of 4 panels is recommended for a 90 percentage energy conversion to solar energy and saving you money over 10 years.

Besides having half your roof covered in solar panels (in some cases parts of the roof may be cut out, I've seen in some pictures, don't ask me why) it is recommended you change the panel outside window every 2 years to insure quality. The panels are very sensitive and take punishment from wind, etc. Lets jack up that window pain to be between 1000-1500 dollars just for the window. Now lets add the the installation of these windows, 4-5k more.

What does this all equal over 10 years? A whole lotta f**king money.

If this isn't pleasant enough, you know the government always needs to have its greedy hands in our pockets, possibly imposing a tax on use of solar panels.

True it does cut down greatly on production of harmful content coming from ones own home that messes with the atmosphere (ozone layer etc). But is it really worth paying all this money? Would you pay this all this money for it?

Solar energy is a waste and wind energy needs  constant wind to work at maximum potential.  Right now I don't see any good means of energy besides electricity.
