Build a wind power generator and save money on your electric bills.
project in class that i need to sell petroleum and tell why it is better than wind energy or any other type of energy
I mean when you graduate from Harvard or Yale you can do anything, I want to know what the magic is there,
Al Gore is so amazing since he graduated from Harvard and now preaches about global climate shifts and knows about polar bears. He’s so genius, he might even be able to convert his private jet to be powered by wind energy.
Then you got Obama, wow he’s such a genius and knows how to spend money. It’s as if he was an accountant, realizing that government ran health care won’t cost the government money, and he said he won’t raise taxes. He’s a magic man whipping money out of thin air.
Hillary Clinton probably has more magical powers then Al Gore. She’s from Arkansas and became the senator of NY. She just leaped across the states, then she leaps on both sides of the spectrum to criticize Bush for the war and ran the primarys saying she will end it, and now is the secretary of state in favor of the war. I love it, magic skills.
So any ways tell me if I get a law degree can I too be a genius?
I want to get my law degree, then give you advice on health care, possibly even know about saving the environment, maybe I’ll be able to know how to support something I strongly advocated against.
Zap: yahoo answers deletes my posts because I "violate" terms of service. Yet in your small world you call your ego, you won big man, you’re the man!
This sounds AMAZING, after reading it do you think this is a real possibility and how many jobs world wide could it create? Since the U.S. Government funded the initial research wouldn’t it strengthen the country economically and as well as make the U.S. the world’s leading energy provider one way or another? What do you all think?
Here’s a quote
The scientists behind the technology, which has been developed in research funded by the US government, say that generating power in this way would potentially cost only around 3.5p per kilowatt hour, compared to about 4.5p for wind energy and between 10p and 31p for solar power. They say the technology would require up to 50 times less ocean acreage than wave power generation.

Also at 3.5 per KWH it’s cheaper according this table than any other major energy source

1.) Support nuclear power by the gov’t freeing up land and reducing red tape to build nuclear power plants, thereby reducing the cost to be competitive.
2.) Government suppport for the creation of geothermal plants.
3.) Government not allowing big oil companies to buy up the patents for e-cars.
4.) Government subsidies for farmers not to produce crops used for farmers to grow plants that take the most CO2 out of the atmosphere.
5.) The gov’t not allowing wind energy to be sued for the wind generators being "ugly".
While I will admit that this calls for gov’t intervention, they would not be creating a tax scheme and this only calls for the government to stop using the power that they are using to prevent land use for nuclear power and to start using the antimonopoly laws that are already on the books against big oil. Is there a reason why this would not reduce CO2 output dramatically, or is there a reason why skeptics should be against these type of measures?
Paul,
I have not insisted that CO2 causes no warming I have said that the amount of warming is over-exaggerated.
Baccheus,
Let me get this straight, allowing the gov’t to do what is already has the authority to do is too much government, but creating a scheme to tax the air is not. Really is that your argument? Forgive me if I do not agree with you.
Dana,
The gov’t can easily support geothermal and nuclear with tax incentives on contracting, which would reduce the upfront cost you are concerned about and not raise taxes. Further, as we are talking about improvement to infrastructure, the effect would increase overall revenue, thus increasing the amount the revenue generated by the gov’t, of course this would be a long term increase as opposed to a short term.
Dana,
This really goes into the meat of my question. Why would they try adding taxes during a recession as opposed to a tax incentive? The latter you will be able to get through congress, the former you may not. Seems like a misstep that will likely cause more partisanship and no real results.
Dana,
But I do agree that e-cars are starting not need patent law changes, though I worry that big oil will find some other ways to slow down the progress, which is really what I am concerned about. I give patents as an example of what has been done, but the gov’t has the ability to stop the formation of monopolies or limit their ability to stop or slow down competition.
Pheonix given Texaco bought a share of GM Ovonics and later obtained the patents for the nickel metal hydride battery, I would tend to think they weren’t really interested in producing a battery used for e-cars and putting themselves out of business, further for amount of energy created, gasoline is much more expensive as it is more mobile, so they make a larger profit and do care what the consumer uses.
The growing of crops was a suggestion as a replacement of the subsidies already in place, so no difference in cost. Otherwise drop the subsidies altogether, and the plants for produce would do the same thing, whichever you can get passed.
Also, not allowing lawsuits for "ugliness" for something made on their own property is certainly not the same as not allowing protests. Your rights to build on your own property should not be so easily infringed upon, because someone thinks it looks bad.
Dana, I have no doubt that you and I could provide nearly equal number of reputable sources for the cost of nuclear power and you sources would have them costing about twice as much as mine. But here is one impasse, as long as I think that nuclear power has the capability of being competitive and taking over the market without taxation, I cannot support taxation nor giving the government a precedent for increasing their ability to tax. In fact I would much prefer tax incentives and an increase in our normal taxes the traditional way, where I have no question as to the impact, than a new tax scheme that may or may not cost me significantly. Perhaps it comes from the fact that I have been around long enough to know not to trust dems or repubs. As such, I could change my mind on AGW, but not on cap and trade. This may not seem important, but realize I am a moderate and you all are going to have a wickedly difficult time passing anything if you are not willing to compromise.
Also, if you can. Some disadvantages countered… Example
Wind energy kills bird, yes but not many etc
1. Explain how wind energy stores potential energy and how it is transformed into other types of energy?
2. How would the loss of wind energy affect any activity that one does on a daily basis and what energy resource would you have used instead?

I was rather surprised to read that wind energy has caused more injuries to humans than nuclear power in America. The articles are interesting and short.
just tell me facts about mars and solar atomic wind energy!! 
I just want to know if it’s feasible, maybe someone who reads this
knows something about it. In a suburban environment of say… Boston MA, USA how much money would someone have to spend to install a solar panel that could generate enough hydrogen and oxygen from the electrolysis of water to power the average car that had a 64% efficiency overall (80% fuel cell, 80% efficiency of motor/inverter)
Could this also be done in less sunny but windy places with vertical wind energy collectors? At what price?
Oh uhh.. if you dont want to do the calculations does anyone have some numbers? Like the cost/watt of solar panels or the watts/hour of them. Perhaps even compression of gases.
Assume 35% efficiency of solar panels, and PEM fuel cells (guess that doesn’t help)
I am doing a project on wind energy and i need some quotes or facts from experts if you have any it would be very helpful.
-Thanks
any kind of chemical reactions in wind energy or wind turbines?
I have to do a physics project on wind energy. Can anybody give me any websites that show the physics of wind energy?
I’m a senior
Can you Explain to me how Wind energy work?
i am stuck i dont know much on wind turbines, wind farms or wind energy if you know anything can you please help
i am in year 8 and i want to get a good mark to move to the highest class we arent allowed to use wikkipeadia so it makes it hard if you know anything can you please help with any information you know
thanks in advancee.
How does wind energy, tidal energy and solar energy relate to chemistry?
