    Solar panel and wind power on every house with storage battery up back for night/weather issues. Oil companies don't want people to be self-sufficient. Yes, this is expensive but you have to start somewhere.

      Dominique the thing i dont get is i live in a ffarm community and two fields were turned into solar panel fields... when the town is 5 minutes away and has apartment buildings with room for solar

    • @dominique9934
      @dominique9934 7 років тому +7

      That does sound crazy. A lot of cities don't want the solar panel on houses. which I think is the #1 issue. Power companies control the land and where solar panel go.

    • @alveolate
      @alveolate 7 років тому +5

      thing is, this doesn't even have to be THAT expensive, especially if town councils help to consolidate orders for homeowners. if you're buying individually, there's bound to be some markup; but buy as a collective and you would get some sizeable discounts.
      now, if the entire city was committed to retooling its power grid for renewable energy, the costs would certainly be reasonable and it would create jobs. there are few industries and capitalist ventures more moral than renewable energy... why are people so cowed about doing this? sure, oil companies and all that corrupt bs will do their propaganda, but PEOPLE have a choice whether to listen to them or not.

    • @JPWRana
      @JPWRana 7 років тому +3

      I don't get this also. I would rather first all the homes (that don't get shade from trees) have solar roofs, AND retrofitted windows, newer toilets, and insulated houses BEFORE sacrificing farmland and desert for rows of solar fields.
      On an acre per acre equivalent, nuclear can produce WAY MORE MW's of power than solar or wind can. I consider myself a conservationist/environmentalist before a renewable energy enthusiast.

    • @alveolate
      @alveolate 7 років тому +4

      the best reason i can think of is a lack of coordination. without consolidating orders, it would be pretty expensive for each individual property owner to buy and install a few solar panels sporadically. this is where capitalism sorta fails, since you really need communitarian action to take full advantage of economies of scale.
      i believe the most efficient course of action is to have town councils create ordinances promoting purchase+installation of solar panels en bloc, zone by zone. the tender would be put up for public auction, and the company that bids the best price gets the contract.
      the worst reason is that behind the scenes, a lot of corruption is going on... big oil and big auto stuffing coin into legislators' pockets and so they look away from pesky regulations and to their sugar daddies. that would really really suck tho.

    When we inevitably go fully sustainable and use geothermal, biomass, wave energy, tidal energy, solar and wind, cheap stable power will be the norm by ...
    1: Using many renewable sources as listed above as even on a windless night the others are unaffected.
    2: Using suitable energy storage like batteries, pumped water, liquid air, biomass, hydrogen gas, molten salts, compressed air, pumped hydroelectric power, flywheels and many more.
    3: Trading energy over large distances, across continents then eventually the globe. This would even out supply and demand. This is one application that capitalistic free market economics would be most helpful by quickly managing demand and supply at all levels of electricity supply from micro grids to the largest scale.
    No new technology is need to make this happen as they are all currently in use, many for years As promising new technologies become available they then can be easily integrated into a modern smart grid systems.

    My name is Setya Faturahman from SMK Bakti Nusa. I think renewable energy is an alternative to traditional energy that relies on fossil fuels, and tends to be less harmful to the environment. With this, the environmental damage caused by relying on fossil fuels can be reduced.

    Wave energy is an excellent energy source because it is a clean and sustainable. But the biggest problem is the lack of a better frequency caused by the waves' uneven movements, low speed, and high pulsating forces. But we have a solution to integrate every amount of wave motion in a step-by-step manner to provide a continuous rotation, in the form of a single rotational output at the delivery shaft that can rotate a Powerful Alternator.
    A planetary gear set can integrate two inputs at a time without any torque loss. It has also been proven in hybrid car technology.

    How about we use GRAVITY in a different way for energy!!!!! We can use mountain sides with rail track that goes top to bottom. Have water pipes at top. Fill train cart with as much water as possible. Utilize a hard slope to assist in cart acceleration down a tall mountain. The brakes can generate emissions-free electricity while pulling up another cart from the bottom to the top (but empty) I mean if windmills can be a thing then so can using gravity as a source of energy. Hopefully this should free us to repurpose trash into bricks that we can use to house the homeless using gravity generated energy.
    These options may be sub-optimal to the educated engineer, i understand that i just want to point out that we HAVE OPTIONS!!!! all we need is real unity!

    Roadster 2.0 go's from 0-60mph in 1.9 seconds - making it the first production car to accelerate to this speed in under two seconds.
    It will also go from 0-100mph in 4.1 seconds and cover a quarter mile drag strip in 8.9 seconds.
    In addition to this it has a range of 620 miles on a single charge which is almost double what the Tesla Model S has, thanks to its 200kWh battery.
    Battery technology has come a long way and is improving rapidly.

      solar energy will last billions of years - and that's just energy reaching the earth. look up dyson sphere. wind is essentially derived from solar energy. only geothermal and gravi-potential energy (e.g. hydroelectric dams) are independent of the sun - and those would also last billions of years.
