There are a lot of techniques to prevent the most of this unwanted kills, but we don't use them, because this would slightly increase our energy bill. Would you pay this? By the way, there are thousand of other endangered species as well - like salmon or tuna. The best and effective way is to stop eating them, but what do you this will happen? ..

    • @Ozilator
      @Ozilator 8 років тому

      +Tana Jones I agree. But at the same time I think about priorities. Unfortunatelly I don't know much about tax regulations in the US, but I know the prices for energy are, compared with other countries, very low. (I am from Germany) I meant priorities in this way, that people are able to spend a lot of money for unnesessary things like big cars or unhealty food (and thus causes for medicine etc) or other stuff. It is the same problem im Germany as well. As long as people don't get clear about their priorities (in this case to spend a bit more in the environmental protection) the environment will suffer and with it the human being. In my opinion there is in nearly every household a high potential in saving energy with very low cost measures. As i already sad, the problem is the priority and with it the behaviour of peoples.

    this form of thermal solar energy was developed at a time when silicon cells for photovoltaic solar panels were very expensive to produce. basically it's a steam-driven power plant but instead of burning coal or using nuclear fission to generate the heat to produce the steam, thousands of heliostats or mirrors reflect the heat of the sun onto the top of a tower which is basically a boiler. there is also a political element to this type of solar plant, because this is a steam plant the workers are all in unions and they employ steam engineers, turbine engineers, mechanical engineers, electricians and maintenance mechanics. lots of jobs and lots of labor needed to run a thermal solar plant, much the same as would be needed to operate a coal-fired or nuclear power plant.
    since that time the cost of silicon cells has dropped dramatically. a photovoltaic plant doesn't require much to keep it going once it is established, you need people to keep the panels clean and cut the grass and bushes, you do need electricians and mechanics to diagnose and replace components if they do fail, but that's about it. you don't need steam engineers, turbine engineers, mechanical engineers and other support personnel so a lot of people used to their traditional high-wage jobs would be eliminated. that is what makes doing away with thermal solar a very touchy subject...

    • @eljarrito8181
      @eljarrito8181 2 роки тому +3

      Unfortunately, this type of turbine driven generator must -- of necessity -- have its boiler essentially open and un-insulated and way up in the wind stream. There is substantial heat loss by reflection, radiation, and convection. Swarms of insects are attracted by the bright light. These lure flocks of birds to their deaths. Eagles and falcons go in after the flocks of birds... Thirteen square kilometers of land had to be sterilized to prevent bushes from growing around the mirrors. Ivanpah was operating at less than 20% of its advertised capacity, and the power output is substantially reduced in the mornings and evenings, so you only get optimum power for about 8 hours a day. (The incoming solar power striking the mirrors is roughly a cosine function).
      You still need power from other sources at night -- probably oil. If you try to use battery storage, that cuts your daytime available energy at least in half.
      Other than these "minor problems", this sounds like a great idea!

    In the Arab world, they have some ingenious designs. Several designer set up solar panels with servo motors to shift the angle of the panels through the day but one in particular set the panels up to move so that the reflection coming off the panels come together on a series of copper pipes, heating up the water inside and running a steam engine to generate even more electricity. As a side bonus, the incredibly bright light keeps most birds away.

      Yes definitely, search up people having solar panels at home to generate their electricity. I am from India, a generally poor country with majority of the citizens living in poor countryside, rightt. The Indian govt is investing heavily in solar power, and apart from very large scale solar power generation projects, it has started the project of been building solar panels on individual village homes so that the villagers can generate their own electricity, which will ofc be FREE. Imagine not paying any electricity bill (the major part of money spent for solar power is actually in setting up that panel and circuits, and here, the govt is doing it for free or at highly subsidised rates in the villages). It has greatly helped villagers.
