The Three Kinds Of Renewable Energy We Should Use More
September 8th, 2008 Posted in energy savingAs this planet approaches the end of its reserves of fossil fuel it is getting ever ever more critical that we reduce our reliance on the depleting stocks levels of organic fossil fuel source of energy. Non renewable fossil fuel sources are not renewable and are well on the way to extinction.
Renewable energy solutions refer to planetary powered energy solutions that can keep producing energy day in day out without draining our planetary resources. There are three main types of energy solutions in this category of renewable energy: Solar Energy, Hydro Energy, and Wind Turbine Energy. All 3 of these energy types have always been available to man it’s just taken man kind a long time to learn how to harness the energy to our advantage ,there is still a long long way to go as well!
Solar Energy Production: The energy from the sun is the most abundant energy force available on this planet . Unfortunately, we capture so little of it at present and that needs to change fast!
We can make use of this free Solar Energy , we can all employ solar power solutions at home and it can cost a fraction if we follow this simple guide. This will not only cut down power bills but also help you contribute to a greener world. Solar power solutions can consist of of solar cookers, solar heating systems, solar lighting systems, solar dryers and producing electricity for use in the home or business, it can even be sold back into the national grid!
The sun has always been a source of heat and light energy. With the advancement of technology, the sun’s energy is getting cheaper and easier to collect and transform into electricity.
The solar energy systems have many advantages apart from being cost-effective and environment-friendly. They are low on maintenance thus saving your time and effort. Also, solar systems give you a return on investment very soon, thus making the systems free after some time. Cooking with solar energy is also considered extremely healthy. Families have started employing solar energy as a power solution at their homes.
Hydro Energy Power: Hydro Power makes use of tidal currents and is an effective form of renewable energy. The conversion of Hydro Energy into electrical energy is far from a new concept, it has been around for years.
Hydro energy is typically generated on a large scale although if you have a stream or brook running through your property, it is not to complex to make a basic Hydro System in some cases.
It has been estimated that 90 percent of the electrical energy produced by renewable resources is produced solely by hydro power. Dams are built to help generate electricity by tapping the water power.
Its worth pointing out that some conservationists voice concern about the consequences to wildlife in areas where Hydro Generation takes place
Wind Powered Energy: Windmills have been in existence even in the years before the birth of Jesus Christ. They helped pumped water and were even used to tow boats. Now days wind turbines are a good source for generating electricity . Wind energy can help generate good volumes of electricity, but are reliant on a certain volume of wind. The larger the turbine the more efficient they become.
When employed at individual estates, it can help supplement conventional power sources. An excellent renewable source of energy, the wind turbine could go a long way in promising a good future to generations to come.
