Society's Solution To Our Problems Have Not Been Found Yet
Renewable energy is somewhat of a catch all phrase. It refers not to one energy production method, but to many types that have one thing in common. They all use an energy resource that is freely available and does not run out per se. Let's take a look.
Biopower - The great hope of President Bush, biopower is based on the idea of using organic material to produce fuel for cars, heating and so on. It is better than using fossil fuels, but has some serious disadvantages. Ethanol, for instance, can help replace gasoline, but it produces a ton of smog. Processing organic materials also takes nearly as much energy as it produces in the form of fuel and such. All and all, this is one of the weaker renewable energy resources.
Thermal conductivity, the study of how energy transfer occurs, sounds very interesting. Radiation, or the movement of infrared energy and light traveling across a room, until they absorb, are also important to the second law of thermodynamics as well, because it makes one think about the process of how atoms and energy move from place to place. The concepts of electricity and magnetism can be explained very differently from how Sir Isaac Newton explained gravitational pulls. One learns that lightning is a result of electrical charges, which come about from the transfer of electrons. That makes one think about what is going on to cause the lightning bolt, rather than just running from them!
Low cost flights have also meant that worldwide travel is available to almost everyone, and it's often cheaper to fly abroad than to get a train within the UK. Electric vehicles are not practical enough yet, and have a short range before they need to be recharged. This makes long journeys impossible, and motorway speeds are not realistically attainable. Whilst ideal for travelling short distances in congested cities, electric vehicles are not likely to replace petrol and diesel vehicles anytime soon.
A type of renewable energy that hardly gets a mention is magnetic power. Using the potential energy of gravitational fields, magnetic power generators produce electricity around the clock. Magnetic generators are the most efficient in producing renewable and cheap electricity. The cost of a magnetic generator is limited to one-off extraction and manufacturing costs. There is next to no maintenance, and no power is required to run the magnetic generator.
Biomass is another increasing popular form of renewable energy. It uses organic matter, such as waste products, or crops grown especially to be used as fuel. Biomass has arguably the best chance of being accepted more widely. Already used as biodiesel, biomass is becoming more popular thanks to increasing media coverage. Combined biomass heat and power plants create power. Heat is created as part of the power process. This heat is normally lost, whereas in a combined heat and power plant the heat is used to heat the building or water. In domestic environment environments, wood burning stoves for cooking and heating is an example of biomass energy.
Because there are no operating costs associated with magnetic generators, power is completely free. This means that an air conditioner can be left on all night and all day without concerns of running up too much cost or harming the environment with carbon emissions. The power bill will be zero and money saved can be spent on things you choose.
As consumers show renewed interest in renewable energy sources like wind, product manufacturers are already rushing to respond. One of the most interesting consumer wind technologies is both amazingly inexpensive and amazingly small. How small? You can hold this particular wind turbine in your hand - while it's generating electricity.
