Larry Said:what are the advantages of renewable energy?We Answered:like hydroelectric power, it can be cheap once the capital outlay is paid off. But, everyone now complains about the environmental effects of hydro. All other methods also have significant environmental impacts that society wants to ignore now, that many will come to regret later. there is no free lunch!Justin Said:What are the advantages of classifying energy sources as renewable and non - renewable?We Answered:it is like arranging colors from whites in you laundry,or classifying biodegradable from non-bio,you can dispose of the non renewable resources easier.
also,another advantage is that...
Samantha Said:What has president bush done in terms of renewable energy? ***best answer gets 10 points***?We Answered:i'm thinking, i'm thinking.
seems i'll have to get back to you on that.
you could say corn ethanol, but that's raised the cost of food, and with an expanding population, that's surely not going to be practical in the future.Tara Said:What is the best renewable energy source?We Answered:This answer is not as simple as which one is best... There are many factors that would largely be based on geographical Location. For instance it would not make much sense to install solar...
Greg Said:How can we make solar energy and other sources of renewable energy cheaper to make and maintain?We Answered:There are a lot of people working on that problem right now. I live near the Silicon Valley and there are a bunch of new companies that have started in the last few years to bring to market new solar technologies that will be cheaper that our current products.
One very important type of solar power that is not as widely used as it could be is Passive Solar Heating. This means that a house is designed to get most of its...
Jack Said:Where can I find a list of public American Corporations in the business of renewable energy?We Answered:You know that global warming is a myth, right?
Here are some clues:
1) Recent UN publications were written by politicians, not by scientists, and the scientists are resigning as a result of conflicts in the conclusions.
2) Some scientists who publicly oppose global warming are receiving death threats. This is a clear indication of political motivation, which of course undermines scientific credibility.
3) There is no such thing as a "consensus" among scientists on the issue. Many have published against the causes and against...
Edith Said:Which Undergraduate course has more relevance towards a Master's Degree in Renewable Energy?We Answered:Hello
Mechanical Engineering encompasses ALL branches of Engineering, so with Mechanical you are not limited, you learn EVERYTHING.
Good LuckShannon Said:Which canadian university offers courses in renewable energy engineering?We Answered:I don't know about specific programs in renewable energy as such, but if what you're interested in is wind power then I think an Electrical Engineering program would suit you well.
Just make sure that the programs you look at have specialized coursework in Power Systems engineering and talk to the faculty to see if any of them are already...
Nina Said:Why don't we use the Earth's magnetic field to generate endless electricity for the whole world?We Answered:NASA did an experiment in space that showed that this idea might work. They strung a wire out from the shuttle and it developed a strong voltage just from passing through the earth's field. But then it burned out.
My fear is that if we actually did build an earth generator as described it would affect the rotation of the earth. You can't get something for nothing. You have to put mechanical energy into a generator to get electrical energy...

Jerome Said:Who is doing renewable energy education? How are you accomplishing the task? What are you focused on?We Answered:wow - i've already done my college work... sorry - i don't feel like doing yours.Kimberly Said:How do I enter the renewable energy industry?We Answered:greenjobs.com is a good place to start.
In addition with lots of head-way to be made companies like the one I work for PGE now have a Renewable Resource department, which is huge encompassing things such as research into tidal energy production, hydroelectric, wind, etc.Ricky Said:we are looking small business opportunities in renewable energy sources?We Answered:I don't know what...
Agnes Said:does renewable energy affect water negatively?We Answered:Renewable energy wrecks environment
Renewables fail environmental test
Renewable does not mean green. That is the claim of Jesse Ausubel of the Rockefeller University in New York. Writing in Inderscience's International Journal of Nuclear Governance, Economy and Ecology, Ausubel explains that building enough wind farms, damming enough rivers, and growing enough biomass to meet global energy demands will wreck the environment.
Ausubel has analyzed the amount of energy that each so-called renewable source can produce in terms of Watts of power output per square meter of land disturbed. He also compares the destruction of nature by...

http://listverse.com/2009/05/01/top-10-r…Gilbert Said:Can u list some different types of renewable energy sources?We Answered:The main renewable sources of energy to generate electricity are:
1.Hydro-power (use of water from rivers, dams, tides and ocean waves)
2.Wind energy (using wind turbines)
3.Solar power (using the power of the sun to heat water or produce electricity)
4.Geothermal (using the heat deep under the earth's...
