Herman Said:Can we get builders to build homes that don't need much energy?We Answered:Here's an example for a warm climate: http://www.livinghomes.net/primer.html
Try Google for "green architecture" "green building" "sustainable architecture" and "alternative architecture". For prefab projects, try fabprefab.com. Consider green roofs, also.
Try architecture.com.
Look up "small houses".
Just because contractors won't do it, doesn't mean you can't. Look up "natural building" to see how people are using their own hands and ancient techniques to minimize impact and energy expenditure, increase quality of life, reduce building costs by orders of magnitude, and generally deal with the issue directly.
So glad you asked.Fernando Said:How...
Peter Said:Why aren't there any wind farms or tidal plants in New England?We Answered:The opposition against the windfarm off of Cape Cod is just hypocritical obstructionism by some of the (otherwise proclaiming their greenness) wealthy there but be advised that most Bay State citizens are strongly in favor of the project as are all the major newspapers.
Meanwhile there are indeed a few wind farms in New England, such as
one in southern Vermont and a tiny one on the coast at Hull, MA (expansion being applied for) and more proposed. The difference vis a vis Texas is that in Texas...
Marlene Said:Facts about renewable energy? (solar, wind, etc) please answer?We Answered:Biomass does not create bio fuel, yet.
Biomass is usually sent to a biomass plant that converts it to electricity. Yes it is small trees and brush or even walnut shells that are chipped then burned in a massive furnace heating water into steam that turns a turbine generator that produces electricity.
It can be converted into ethanol gas but currently its to expensive to pay off.

Kristin Said:how can i produce wind energy for my home and how much does the equipment range in price..?We Answered:It just depends on your area and practicability you have to set the tower, turbine and blades where they will receive the most velocity of the wind,you'll have to purchase storage cell for the energy produced. You'll still have to stay connected with the local energy company for those slight days and see if they will give you credit for the excess energy you will produce. Th old Mother Earth magazines usually have articles about where to pick up wind generators...
Enrique Said:Does anyone know anything about wind energy?We Answered:Wind speed is measured (in knots) by the Beaufort Scale.

Renewable Energy - the most reliable source of renewable energy is water power, most especially tidal water power.
Here in London in Roman times and right into the early Industrial Revolution of the 18thC there were dozens of tide mills along the banks of the River Thames.
How did they work. A simple mechanism which allowed a massive wheel or set of wheels to rotate in the direction of the tidal flow and then to reverse...
Sandra Said:what is the best way to get job in wind energy sector out of India?We Answered:contact the wind farms and ask themAmanda Said:wind energy jobs in Europe?We Answered:Do not leave the present job.
The opportunities abroad is stand still.
Unless you have very special talent you are not welcome in any country.Leo Said:I need work!! Just got laid-off! In the oil,gas, or wind energy fields! Will travel where ever!!Help?We Answered:Hello! My boyfriend works offshore Great Yarmouth, two weeks on and two weeks off as an absailer. I won't pretend to know much about this (and he's offshore just now so I...
Courtney Said:wind energy project!!!!!!?We Answered:Its renewable
Wind energy is used to make electricity
Texas is the biggest producer of wind power, followed by California then Oklahoma is in there. It is in Europe too.
I see no need to conserve wind energy any more than any other (turn out the lights when you leave the room) but you can in Texas from some electrical providers choose wind energy as a preference I hear to help the environment.
Generation of wind energy causes no pollution and is a never ending resource. Taxes are paid to local schools from wind energy. It creates jobs. It saves...
Cathy Said:what does per kilowatt of energy producing capacity mean?We Answered:It means exactly what it says, the cost of generation per kilowatt of energy produced. For example, a 50kW turbine may cost $50,000, which could be converted into $1 per kilowatt. A larger turbine, or a turbine farm may benefit from economy of scale and produce, say, 2MW and a cost of $1Million. Although the second option is more expensive ($1Milion vs. $50k), the cost per kilowatt is $0.50, which is a lot cheaper.Ted Said:What is the best energy source for residential use Solar or Wind Power?We Answered:A combination of...
Frederick Said:What forms of energy and energy transformations are involved in wind turbines?We Answered:The mass and velocity of the air give it KE
The wind turbine blades convert the KE to ME (mechanical energy; the one you left out of your list of 'all' the forms of energy...!)
The generator converts the ME to electrical energy, the most useful grade of energy.
At each conversion point, some of the input energy is not used, causing the output energy to be less than the input. For ex: The wind downstream of the blades is slowed, but not stopped. Ergo, it still...
