Energy issues are so high-sounding nowadays. Although in Physics, energy is one quantity that is conserved and by conserved we mean that the “sum of all energies in the universe remains constant,” it is not the case with our daily lives. We are being told over and over again to conserve energy. This time, the term conserved here means another thing; it means “preserve”. We have to save energy or the sources of energy, so they say. Well, if the energy of the universe remains constant, then where did the rest of the energy go? In layman’s terms, most of the useful energy in the universe has now been transformed into not-so-useful energy. Not-so-useful energy example is thermal energy, which explains global warming. So in one way or another, it is right to say that we should conserve energy. One way to do that is to make use of the most abundant energy sources like the sun and the wind or by combining solar and wind power.

Wind as an energy alternative / Educational Video. Department of Energy. Produce by the Solar Energy Research Institute. Wind: An Alternative Energy. This program examines the history and use of wind power, which has been used for centuries by humans to move boats, pump water and grind grain including discussions on efficiency, problems in the urban environment, experimental systems and windmill use by transverse the United States. Producer: Department of Energy. Creative Commons license: Public Domain. Surprisingly good short film about wind energy. What makes it valuable interviews with Marcellus Jacobs (a builder of wind turbines in the 1930s) and Ted Finch is (his efforts was the concept of net metering legally permitted in the U.S.). It is interesting that one of the persons listed in the credits, Paul Gipe, still working in the industry. He is now a leading author on the subject. His website is www. Wind plant. org
Fed up with paying high prices for your electricity?
Do you want to beat the energy crisis?
Do you want to make free energy for your home?
With wind power for homes you can build your own wind generator and produce enough electricity to power your entire home. It is easier than you may think to build your own wind generator and start to make free energy for your home. Most of the parts needed can be purchased locally from hardware stores and you can even use auto parts.

Electricity produced by wind turbines is green power in that it causes no environmental pollution. No greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change are produced either. Wind power generation can be on a large scale,which is the case with most commercial projects,or on a small scale as with home owner turbines.
Utilizing wind power and solar energy or the power coming from the sun’s rays has many benefits. Let us take a closer look on each of them.
•Solar energy saves money.
In 2006, we saw the highest jump on residential electric rate. In some areas of the country, as
much as a 60% increase was seen. Some cities in the state of Florida experienced an increase just this month (Jan-09) to start out the new year with. Many experts agree that the trend will likely continue in the years to come. This means that you have to pay larger sums of cash to sustain your monthly electric consumption. However by producing your own power, with the use of eitherwind power, solar energy or both you can prevent paying the high cost of energy – especially now when energy prices Keep fluctuating. Should American households switch to other types of alternative energy the nation’s spending on imported oil will diminish greatly.
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.
Always thinking about the installation of solar power for your home? Here is one of my personal statement to a few good reasons to champion solar reasons – economic, environmental, ethical, and creative!

Western Michigan University has operated a small wind turbine for years. Dr. Patten describes problems with the installation of small wind turbines / energy systems in Southwest Michigan, including contractors and site selection, utility inter-connections, building codes, cost and maintenance. This presentation is part of the 2009 Renewable Energy Conference at the Pierce Cedar Creek Institute.
Google Tech Talks 18th September 2008 brings ABSTRACT Sopogy smaller concentrated solar energy systems on the market: Process heat, air conditioning and power generation. You will hear about the first renewable energy and solar technology, will be awarded always the New Product of the Year by the Society of Professional Engineers. A product will be set up for viewing.

The simple fact is that we cannot depend on oil and fossil fuels for our energy forever. Many people are already starting to realize this and are beginning to switch to residential solar power.
Using residential solar power may seem complicated but it’s simpler than you might think. I personally know people that aren’t as smart (or as good looking) as you and they have built their own solar power system.

Wind power is an excellent weapon for fighting climate change because wind generation produces no carbon emissions at all. When you consider that every unit of energy generated by wind, is a unit of energy free of carbon pollution, wind makes sense. Producing just 10 per cent of electricity from renewables could cut carbon emissions by 2.5 million tonnes a year.
Solar power & wind power are the two environmentally friendly choices that most people consider when thinking about trying to get started producing their own electricity at home. I think it’s a good idea to think about options before making such a decision and that’s why I am writing this article.
