The Futur of Green Energy
Posted on August 15th, 2010 No commentsExisting type of renewable energy
Solar energy is the greatest source of alternative energy. Every day, 365 days per year The sun gives us energy in the form of light and heat all year long. A major part of this energy remain unused, while instead we burn carbon fuels, which are rapidly being depleted, and only becoming more and more expensive. The matter will only get worse for those who persist to rely on fossil fuels, and the time to use solar energy to power our homes is now.
Solar System
Typically you will get about 80% saving of that electricity that your electric geyser is going to use from your solar water heater. Unfortunately only few people can currently buy a solar solution.
An alternative that most consumers have hardly heard about is a heat pump. Its largest selling point is that it costs you much less upfront. With the heat pump you have a payback period of less than two years. With the solar panel you get a payback of in the zone of about four years and with the cheap solar panel in the area of about six years.
A Solar system is approximately a 5-8 years investment., but benifiting of federal tax credits and state, it may be paid much earlier. Solar water heaters also last much longer than gas or electric water heaters. In the meantime, your investment is paying dividends for the environment.
Wind Turbine
Probably the second most well-liked residential source of energy efficient is the home wind turbine. Wind energy, like solar, takes advantage of a natural phenomenon to produce energy efficient, with few costs after the initial installation.
Energy Efficient Lighting
To some, the phase out of the standard incandescent light bulb that has served us so well since almost the dawn of the electrical age is nothing but an inconvenience. To others, it is a long overdue and indispensable action promoting the reduction of fosils emissions and slowing the pace of global warming. To the electrical wholesaler it could be either of the above. There is one certaintiy, everyone will soon buy energy efficient lighting.
The commonly used metric for comparing energy saving lighting is lumens of output per watt of electrical input. This method is appropriate for omni-directional bulbs such as traditional A-shape lamps and spiral CFLs.
What will happen. I think energy saving may create some jobs in the short term. However, Most of the empoyee will become unemployed once the solar panels, windmill are installed, theres little or no maintenance on them, so the jobs would disappear. I do think we should develop energy efficient more efficiently and for more application, and for that, a profit will need to be ensured after project completion in order to secure major investment.
Energy saving is probably looking at making up 10 per cent or so, maybe a little less than that, of our energy mix over time.
