Renewable Energy Sources: Earth4Energy

The available renewable energy sources that we have include solar, hydro, wind, geothermal, ocean and biomass. The most common of these advantages is that they are clean energy sources and do not pollute the air. They also do not contribute to global warming or greenhouse effects. Because the sources of such energy are natural the cost of operations are substantially reduced and they require less maintenance on their plants. One common disadvantage is that it is impossible to produce large quantities of electricity than can be done with fossil fuels. Because they are new technologies the costs of initiating them is also high.

Solar thermal panels are capable of providing 70 of a households hot water requirements. Some heat pumps will provide all heating and hot water requirements. Any additional electricity required can be topped up by the grid, alternatively if a large wind turbine or solar PV array was installed, surplus power could be stored in battery banks for even less reliance on the grid. Worth considering! The more people that use this technology, the more prices will drop.

Wind energy is a cost-effective power reserve in many areas of the country. Wind is an unsoiled fuel; wind farms generate no air or water pollution as no fuel is burned.

The main reason to switch to cleaner energy production methods is the global warming aspect. The more carbon dioxide we pump into the atmosphere, the greater the effect becomes. We can't just stop using fossil fuels thinking that global warming will go away, but we can slow down and dilute the effects of global warming through the wide spread use of renewable energy resources.
