Do you believe myecoseek?

Myecoseek is a site that runs on renewable energy. I’ve asked for certificates but they don’t have any. I’m just wondering this but I use http://biogoogle.net because they have certificates.

trade schools/independent college, I’m lost?

I want to be an independent business-woman, but would still like to learn science, math, history, etc. I want to go to a school where the purpose for taking a class is purely to learn the information given (not just to get a good looking grade/certificate)
I have never been to college (I’m a recent high school grad.) But from what I’ve heard from friends and family it doesn’t seem worth my time or money…
I want teachers that share my same mindset. Learning shouldn’t be about how to make money, but rather how to become a better all around educated person.
I would like to learn life skills (cooking,sewing,etc), natural medicine, agriculture, renewable energy, carpentry, engineering and traditional American business.
Any advice on how to search for the right trade school or independent college?

What possible reason could anybody ever have for wanting to get a renewable energy training certificate?

Is creating an online store for green energy products a good idea?

I am considering to create something like northern tool, but focused only on green(renewable) energy: http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/category_alternative-renewable-energy
As an advantage, I can find solar panels for prices less than $1.8/watt retail which is something given that best retailers these days don’t fall < $2. Solar energy for instances doubles in demand recently every 2 years and in 2009 the government (us) passed some bill to subside households that buy alternative energy products – so you can save additionally about 40% or something. So…in a nutshell, I know there are way too many things to consider, like initial investment, certificates, marketing, but my major concern is if this business will make money in that economy and in a relatively new unknown area to the end customer. 10x!

What decent jobs can you get with a certificate 4 in renewable energy?

Not istalling or maintaining solar systems, but other things?

Solar Powered Attic Fan ?

anyone has these install , how did it work out for you? , does it really cool down your house enough to be noticeable during the summer ? Is it worth the price?

Do solar powered car ventilation systems actually work?

I’m considering today’s Thing Fling, which is a portable car ventilation fan that is solar powered. I would like to know whether this actually works – does it actually exhaust hot air effectively?

Is there already an solar-wind powered prototype vehicle made?

Just curious…
I notice many cars made within the last decade. Electric cars, solar-powered cars, remote-controled cars, and much more. But I thought I seen a wind hover-craft or something that uses stored energy to power up the power fans under the craft thus liftes the machine and uses the wind from the bottom to fully power the machine and save some to start up the next time. It has a fan on the back to proceed and in front for a efficent stop. Basically a gas-less evoriment friendly machine and strong against earthquakes.

Have you seen one somewhere?
I think they say that it looks similar like the manta machine featured in the Unreal Tournament series.

How is energy transformed from light to electricity, to movement in a solar powered fan.?

How to convert a 120 volt fan to Solar powered?

Can somebody advise if this idea will work, I have a 16″ fan in my greenhouse that runs on 110volt power,I was thinking I would plug this into a 12 volt converter ,plug the converter to a 12 volt car battery, and use a small panel to keep my battery charged

Do you think the SOLAR POWERED AUTO COOL FAN can hold up in the desert “Arizona”?

or will it melt in the summer heat like so many other things in the car?

Will a normal house thermostat run off a solar panel?

If not, what kind of thermostat should I use? I’d like to assemble a solar powered fan for various projects but the temperature needs to be regulated. I think I can get away with just a 12 volt computer fan and I have found the panel online but without the thermostat i’ll be in hot water. Thanks!

Is 600$ labor a fair price to install 3 solar powered roof fans on a cape code style home with a steep roof.?

bout this house in the winter and ready to move by the summer, the 2nd floor is unbearable due to the heat. After moving in I notice the house didn’t have any ventilation in the roof. Had roofer come out today and he quoted 600$ if I bout the fans.

How are space probes powered when there is no oxygen in space?

I mean rocket fuel shouldnt combust and im guessing they cant use solar powered fans at all. I’d like to know where I can read more about how space probes are propelled.

Thanks

Why not more Solar Energy and Wind Turbines no destroying the earth, It’s Free?

Plus using solar and wind will also create jobs. Live in an area where they “frack” and the destruction of land, water and air is terrible. Google one of those “frack” ponds and it is scarey what you see! In fact just in one area I can Google three frack ponds one of which is close to a school. Check and see when they do the extraction of the gas it causes “mini” earthquakes how many mini does it take to cause one Large earthquake?

Oil is dirt cheap. Will Obama break the budgets of American families with expensive wind energy or will he?

… raise the cost of manufacturing steel and aluminum and other things in the US by forcing carbon taxes onto business, and thus, consumers … sending yet more jobs overseas and raising prices to hurting families?
China is investing in oi exploration in Brazil and Russia. Obama is making us dependent on foreign oil by refusing to explore in the US.

Job aspect of energy (nuclear, wind, solar, etc.)?

i’m doing a project on the job aspect of of energy, in the economy, (wind, solar, nuclear, etc.) How will energy and such plants create jobs for our economy, and how does it affect the job aspect?

solar and wind energy how can I find a job in that industry?

Do you have to have a degree to be a wind energy technician?

I’m doing a project that includes a Career in energy, so I chose Windy Energy Technician. Anyone that’s in the field, or anyone that knows-what are the job requirements? Is a degree needed? Thank you

Working two jobs and shattered any tips on keeping my energy up?

i work two jobs and constantly feel tired. I love what i do but my energy is really really low between work and personal life. I usually have 3 hours between jobs and i begin to wind down, making it harder to motivate myself to go back out to work. What do you folks do to try to keep you awake and focused?

What are some decent jobs in the clean tech/energy sector?

Can anyone list a few decent paying jobs in the clean tech or energy (clean energy, not oil or coal) sector? Whether it be smart-grid tech, wind, solar, geothermal, batteries, LED, etc.

Thanks in advanced.

how can i find a job installing wind turbines & solar energy in florida?

i want to sell them and install them

I want to make wind turbines and go into wind energy how?

What major should I major in to do this? Which schools should I look into? Will I have a job in the future?

how to leave motley fool for erasing my stocks and shares?

So I had an idea to invest in the future, and I believed in solar power. I found Motley Fool’s website, saying how easy they made share dealing, anyone could do it, as long as you picked good stocks.

So… I went for it. I picked solar power stocks, (gone up since!).

However, MF have been nothing but incompetant. From day 1 they messed me around so much I dont have space to list it all. Motley Fool have:

* neglected to tell me that I can’t use ISAs to invest in US stocks despite me clearly repeatedly telling them before hand I wanted to invest in some US companies.

* forced me to move money OUT of MF back to my bank, and back to MF… just to get it out of the ISA and into the international thing. Incurring extra charges each way.

* Reported a loss when my stocks went up!

* Now all my stocks are ERASED. ALL my stocks do not exist on their system.

This is MY FUTURE. They treat my money like a joke. How do I get my money back? I want to leave them, but keep my shares. I hate them.
By the way… I invested in two stocks. One has gone up more than the other, but I didn’t keep track of how much of each I invested in. So knowing Motley fool, they’ll not take my money seriously or and con me out of more money.

Also, I tried asking about this problem on their forum, but they deleted the post. Nice way to treat your customers Motley Fool! Delete their attempts to get help!
Yes you can invest money via motley fool… http://www.fool.co.uk/share-dealing/share-dealing.aspx

but don’t ever use it they’ll waste your money like they wasted mine.

In Australia wealthy folks have put solar generators on roof! power prices increased massively! poor vs Rich?

Do you think its fair The Australian Labor Party NB foreignors they spell labour funny as the social justice party?

So why on earth have champions of social justice abandoned the poor where the rich rip off the broke so badly?

Its what I call neuveriche new money? Because julia and Kevin are both extremely wealthy and focussed on economic rationalism? They’ve completely damaged the underclass to abandon traditional working class ideals to care for less fortunates we’ve in fact got 2/3 caucus not caring votes Kevin could win has what appears delluded behaviours? Three fears exist? 1. That they hurt Julia’s feelings coz she’s hypocritical and we really dont know who there leader next week? 2. Fear of failure? They identify with being manipulated by fear and loathing? Spiteful mallice from julia? No? We cant hurt her feelings? 3. I think Therese Rein chatted with Christina Kenneally about what it means to allow new blood in? Again? Kevin as a former Prime Minister must be getting fed up of distrust spite and undermining whilst overseas? Maybe Julian Assange should be employed by kevin the way julia fears international transmission???

All these 3 fears are irrational and cannot accept either Kevin julia or Simon Creen are insanely dysgunctionality? They could be narsarcistic psychopath but I doubt it? Wishful thinking its better than what appears to be?

GIVEN THE ABOVE EXCLUDING DEMEANING PUT DOWNS ASKING FOR CONSTRUCTIVE INPUT IN THE POSITIVE ONLY?

Have Labor become criminally insane because if social justice. Is abandoned eustom generous? Meaning same gene? They’re soft on crime? YOUR COMMENTS? Its the only thing driving Kevin he doesn’t want federal labor no longer a major party like nsw? He’s a hero??????

Have You Felt Or Experienced Any Effects From The Solar Flares?

The Sun operates on an approximate 11-year cycle (getting more active for about 11 years, then becoming calmer over the next 11 years). It is now in a period of high activity. This activity is resulting in huge solar flares. Earth is primarily protected from solar flares by its magnetosphere but when the magnetic fields of both the earth and the Sun are aligned in a certain way (anti-parallel), radioactive particles do enter the atmosphere and cause damage to electronics, communication, etc. Large solar storms wiped out entire power grids in Quebec in 1989. In 1859, a “perfect” solar storm fried telegraph wires in Europe and the US, causing fires and injury. Studies are now being done on how this affects humans since the human body has magnetic fields as well. Some studies have been studying how the physical effects can trigger emotional effects as well such as depression.

So do you think you’ve felt anything or has your smart phone or internet or cable been acting up? A friend of mine just complained to me last week that she was receiving all sorts of weird calls being directed to her phone – international calls. Last night, a guy who relied on his GPS to get him to where one of our meetings was being held found himself 20 miles off course.

Have you seen the aurora – the northern lights which become brighter and more spectacular when charged by these particles that enter our atmosphere?

How does this sound as a possible future timeline?

For those of you familiar with the work of Neil Howe and William Strauss and their book, “The Fourth Turning,” I would like your opinion on my little time line of U.S. events, then world events through the year 2030. Here it is:

The Fourth American Revolution
America’s:
Debt Crisis
Demographic Crisis
Resource Crisis
Imperial Crisis

2010-2015: Commodity prices spiral upward
Economy mired in stagnation/recession
Debt burden rises for households, corporations, governments
Interest rates surge, financial implosion ensues
Economy crashes into major depression
Federal government bankrupt, dollar collapses, hyperinflation takes hold
Economic collapse continues, unemployment skyrockets, incomes plunge
Entitlement programs cut, military downsized, social unrest explodes, protests, riots, etc…

Global conscious forming through power of the Internet
Economic prosperity returns

Is there an easy way out of the “OIL” mess we’ve gotten ourselves into?

Is there an easy way out of the “OIL” mess we’ve gotten ourselves into?

Oil is nearly $100 a barrel. Gas may soon reach $4 a gallon. And Americans are being bitten in almost every way imaginable by this insidious oil hydra.

Two billion people in China and India are now eager consumers. They want the cars, gadgets, and lifestyle that Westerners have claimed as a birthright for a half-century. Their growing energy appetites mean that the international petroleum market may remain tight, even if Americans — who use almost twice as much oil per day as China and India put together — cut back on imported energy.

The Middle East is raking in billions each week. At best, our so-called friends in cash-laden Saudi Arabia subsidize fundamentalist mosques and hate-filled madrassas worldwide. At worst, our enemies in petrol-rich Iran are after the bomb, send weapons into Iraq to kill Americans and fund Hezbollah jihadists.

War in Iraq, rumors of fighting in the near-future in Iran and tension on the West Bank only panic markets raise oil prices and further enrich our grinning enemies.

The nearly half-trillion dollars we will soon pay for imported oil does a lot more than prop up Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Iran’s Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. The petrodollar drain also contributes to our trade deficits, falling dollar and a general demoralization of the American people.

Our oil habit not only makes us dependent on some creepy suppliers, but we look like fools as we work nonstop to hand over our earnings to those who are rich by an accident of sitting atop oil someone else found and developed.

There is talk in this country of a gradual transition to alternative fuels, solar power, wind machines, plug-in electric cars, and nuclear power. Supposedly Americans will soon be less dependent on imported oil — while helping to slow global warming — as we are weaned off our fossil-fuel addiction.

But let’s talk about the present: If oil continues to climb, ultimately, it will change our very way of life. Hard-pressed families will shell out thousands more a year in direct transportation and heating and cooling costs, and more still as consumer prices inflate.

It may have always been unwise for commuters to buy large SUVs and V8 super cab trucks. Now, though, we may reach the point where these pricey huge vehicles will sputter to a halt. Indebted Americans will still shell out monthly payments to pay off their parked dinosaurs, only to drive them for emergency or ceremonial occasions.

Also expect rising popular anger at an asleep-at-the-wheel government that for the last 20 years should have been doing a lot more to mandate conservation, subsidize alternate fuels, encourage nuclear power and open up oil fields offshore and in Alaska.

Instead, doctrinaire free-market purists and radical environmentalists, hand in glove, for years have thwarted both conservation and exploration.

True, in a perfect world, the market would teach Detroit not to build gas-hungry big cars. Yet in the here and now, we are needlessly burning scarce fuel as too many 7,000-pound mammoths deliver single 180-pound drivers to work — while the auto industry continues on its path to irrelevance.

Meanwhile, green politicians may not want messy oilrigs off their coasts, or tankers up north among the ice and polar bears. But so far very few of them have sworn off jet travel, nice cars or ample homes.

Oil companies claim that they are only passing along escalating costs from overseas suppliers over which they have no control. But around a third of our oil is pumped here at home.

Think about it: The cost to extract oil from existing older wells is relatively fixed. For much of the 1990s and early 2000s, oil prices had been steady at between $20 and $30 a barrel (when adjusted for inflation) — and domestic oil companies did quite well. So now at near $100 a barrel, these corporations are raking additional profits of over $60 a barrel — potentially a domestic windfall of hundreds of billions of dollars each year.

Is there an easy way out of the mess we’ve gotten ourselves into?

Maybe a Silicon Valley genius inventor or entrepreneur will step forward with a breakthrough new energy source.

Maybe our government will start a crash project on the scale of the Manhattan Project to conserve and produce more fuels.

Maybe China and India will consider radical conservation measures.

Maybe countries like Iraq, Libya, and Russia will start reinvesting in their oil infrastructures and double production.

Maybe the Middle East will finally settle down and soothe jittery oil speculators.

Those are too many maybes to wait for while our way of life hangs in the balance. It is past time to demand from our presidential candidates, as well as the current government, exactly when and how they plan to slay this many-headed oil monster.

Do you agree with this statement?

An African campaigner and film-maker, Roy Kwesi Andrews toured the UK and was initially “”overjoyed by the ease of life that development has brought to people in the UK”" but grew angry at the way he saw his own country being held back by those in the west who profess to have his continent’s best interests at heart: [quote]

—————————————————–
“” my amazement turned to anger as the gulf between Ghana and London became apparent. I saw huge beautiful bridges and highways, underground trains, railways, buses and modern housing. I was incensed because, in Ghana, tiny, low-scale development projects are all that are on offer from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and various externally-funded NGOs.”"
—————————————————————-

Roy Kwesi Andrews demanded the same level of infrastructure for his country that he saw in the west – large power stations capable of generating reliable electricity 24/7 and 365. Proper roads and bridges to carry food to market. An economy that provides enough wealth to allow people to fly abroad if they want. He said: [quote]

——————————————————————
“”We hate being constantly subdued by nature; we are tired of dying early; we are tired of sleeping in mud huts; we are tired of walking long distances for water, food and fuel; we are tired of doing our washing by hand; we are tired of farming with hoes and cutlasses and waiting for nature to be merciful unto us. You think this way of life is ‘natural’ and happiness-inducing? Then you should try it out.”"
——————————————————————-

So, given that understandable anger, here’s the statement that i would like your opinion on:

———————————————————
“”At another discussion, a concerned student told me that humans are destroying the planet. He said that we are greedy, consume too much, produce too much, fly too much and drive unnecessarily big cars… He said that all of this greedy consumption by Westerners is to blame for Africa’s poverty. I felt very sorry for this doom-monger. Africans are not suffering because of climate change. We’re suffering because of underdevelopment. The fact is we simply don’t have the infrastructure that has enabled the West to subdue nature. If we are at the mercy of the climate, it is because our societies remain under-industrialised.”"
——————————————————

~ Do you agree that it isn’t climate change that is causing Africa to suffer but rather under-development? And do you really believe that wind turbines and solar power are enough to pull an entire continent out of abject poverty? And if so, will you take up the author’s challenge? (see article).

Would you vote for me? here is what I believe in!!! Please Read Vote Mr. Jones?

Economy-Taxes should be based on a percentage of what you make, that way it is fair. State sales taxes should not be over 5%. Corporations should not be controlled by the government, but if they pose some kind of danger to the country they should be regulated.

Environment-The government should support Electric cars by offering tax credits to companies that sell them. Also people who buy them should be recieve a tax credit. Solar power should replace the use of oil. Domestic production should continue middle eastern oil should not be used by the U.S. Wind power should be used in off shore wind farms.

Immigration-English should become the national lanuage. Documents including drivers test should all be in english. Illegal immigrants should be prosecuted, they broke the law, and they should be deported. The U.S. should support legal immigration, but due to over population the number of new citizens should be resticted. Companies that employ illegals should be fined and or put out of bussiness. A wall should be constructed along the U.S. mexican border. The U.S. should support workers visa cards for people who want to work here. The U.S. should guide Mexico to help them improve their country, but should not do so with tax payer’s money.

Abortion-should be allowed, look at it this way. Do you want to pay with your taxes for someone’s kid to go through hell living in child care without parents? and what if a girl was raped? This is not an easy answer, and I don’t support the idea of it, but in reality I think it should be allowed, I support abortion. I also support stem cell research.

Gay Marriage-I do not support, but if the majority of a state’s population wants to allow it, then it should be allowed.

Death Penalty-I support, but the evidence has to be there. Your taxes should not go to keeping murdurers and rapists alive.

Crime-More Police and harsher laws. I do not believe in legalizing drugs. Medicinal use should be allowed though. Kids should be educated better in school through programs like d.a.r.e. More colleges should be built in high crime areas like L.A. Oakland, Detriot, to offer people a chance to escape from poverty.

Welfare-I do not believe a large portion of taxes should go to welfare, people need to help themselves. I do believe in food stamps and out of work aid, but not welfare cadallics.

Education-needs national standards and all schools need to have the same criteria in order to graduate high schools and colleges. If a student obtains a GPA above 3.5 their cost to attend any college of their choice (accepted to) should be waved. College should not be out of reach, anyone should be able to attend schools like harvard if they worked hard, despite what their parents make.

Military-Afganistan should be kept under control due to the terror treat. Osama Bin Laden should be captured and prosecuted for his crimes. Diplomacy should always be used before military engagement. The United Nations should should step in on certain issues like the genocide in Darfur. Dipolmacy should be used towards North Korea, but if they go against international law they should be sanctioned.
Gantonomo should not be shut down. They should recieve trials in court though.

Social Security-should not be spent by the government it isn’t their money to spend.

Health Care-should be similar to Canada

The Second Amendment-automatic weapons should be illegal, background checks should be required, Certain guns should not be owned. Should be regulated, but responsible people should be allowed to own a gun.

Afirmative Action-should be abolished, there should be a colorblindness towards everyone. People should be defined by their accomplishments not by their race.

I HAVE JUST PRESENTED SOME ISSUSE AND MY STANCE ON THEM. IF I RAN AS AN INDEPENDENT WOULD YOU VOTE FOR ME. YES OR NO AND WHY. THANK YOU

Another name for climate change?

im creating an editorial cartoon about our environment and climate change and ways people are “going green” etc. does anyone know any catchy names i can use to call them as cities? Like pollution could be called foggy city or something and renewable energy could be called Greenew city…idk? please help me. if you have any puns that would be very creative and helpful. thanks:)

I’m not a conspiracy nut but I’m starting to think this “recession” was manufactured?

Here is my reasoning. Before the recession (2007) solar power industries were on the rise in the united states. The green movement/initiative was everywhere even china. Then the recession hits and the screwed up thing about is that the ones who caused it (the banks) not only were they bailed out but have been bigger and bigger profits. How many times on any news channel have you heard this line, “Companies are sitting on trillions of dollars because of uncertainty” so to make the businesses more “certain” the tax cuts get extended and ask for even more with promise of creating jobs later. I call bull$hit on that one. I believe in the efficacy of free enterprise and taxes can be stifling but this is pure greed. Oh and it gets better.

Read this article: http://money.cnn.com/2011/09/07/news/economy/oil_jobs/index.htm?iid=Lead&hpt=hp_t1

Remember that pre-recession green movement was the rage. People were excited about renewable energy. Every politician was saying how america should be less dependent on foreign oil and some were even saying that oil should be taxed. The R hits and flash forward to today. Just last week a company that produces solar panels shut down because the costs were too high and barrels of oil too cheap. No politician today would say that oil should be taxed and are now saying that there should be more deregulation and less taxes on oil companies. So the banks profited and the oil companies don’t get kicked out the door. The good news is that it probably means that the conspirators have an end game in mind so we don’t have to worry about a whole economic collapse and companies will start hiring again.

John McCain questions?

1.what does he think about the us dependence of foreign oil?
2.what does he believe the impact of climate change?
3what does he think the U.S. should spend to promote clean energy or green energy?
4.what does he propose about the use of fossil fuels for the fuels for the future(coal,oil,gas)?
5.What does he feel about renewable resources?what type we should invest in how much money should be invested.
6.What goals the nation sets fir itself in terms of dependence on non-renewable resources?

Have you asked your local Republican Candidate why he is sending your job to a foreign country?

Whopper, Indeed: Republicans More Responsible for Green Outsourcing

As part of our “Whoppers of the 2010 Election Cycle” article, we noted how Republicans ran misleading ads accusing their Democratic opponents of creating jobs in China by supporting the stimulus package. Not only did these ads completely twist the facts, but it was disingenuous for Republicans candidates to accuse Democrats of sending jobs to China when GOP members opposed the “Buy American” provisions that would have prevented this offshoring. Here, we discuss how the GOP’s sustained opposition to meaningful climate and energy legislation played a larger role in sending green jobs overseas than a vote for the stimulus.

The ads in question twisted facts from an investigative report that had discovered some stimulus reimbursement funds for renewable energy projects, like wind farms, had gone to foreign-owned companies domestically and abroad, largely because there are few wind turbine manufacturers in America. The latest figures suggest only 0.00037% of the total $700 billion stimulus package, $2.6 million, may have made its way to China; however, the ads claimed that “China gets $2 billion to build windmills,” or that the package “sent nearly $2 billion overseas to create jobs in China.”

Even though the numbers cited were incorrect (the majority of foreign-owned wind developers were European), America’s weak clean energy market makes it inevitable that development funds will make their way to foreign-owned businesses — wind turbine purchases are half of the initial wind farm development costs, and the U.S. has only two homegrown wind turbine manufacturers, General Electric and Clipper Wind. What’s more, both manufacturers still import many parts from overseas factories, and their market share has been consistently slipping, thanks to increasingly vibrant wind industries in Europe and Asia.

Republican Policies are Responsible for the Dearth of Green Manufacturing Jobs

There is nothing that Republicans can say or do that will remove this massive stain from their shirts.

What is your belief in global warming and how environmentally friendly is your area?

The area I live in prides itself on it’s renewable energy resources and it’s almost oneness with nature. One of our main exports and one thing our economy hinges around is logging and timbre. 80% of our overall energy comes from renewable resources with the rest coming from natural gas plants. Our renewable resources will only increase as more renewable energy plants, such as two massive wind farms that provide 700MW of total energy, are currently in the process of being built. Our green loving ways have lead to the birth of such activists as David Suzuki and we have shown the world our drive to be environmentally friendly with the greenest Olympic village ever and the, sometimes overzealous, drive to be the greenest games ever. I live in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

Please explain where you live, what your personal opinion is on going green, your belief in global warming and describe the society in which you live pertaining to the environment.

Goodness gracious …who’s got gas? Can Gods little green earth be Self sufficient ?

Each time you perch on the toilet, you may soon take heart that you’re not the only one who’s a bit lighter – you’re taking a burden off the environment as well. Approximately 200 homeowners in an English town called Didcot are among the first in the UK to benefit from gas made from their own waste and supplied through the national grid to heat their houses. The future plan is to make this process available throughout the UK.

So why all the fuss to find new sources of energy? Well, the UK has a goal for 2020 to have 15 percent of the energy it produces come from renewable sources. Producing gas in this way is a strong step toward that goal. Oh, and if you’re worried your house will be smelly, fear not! The gas is odorless and your house will remain toasty.

Should every commercial fryer in the country be mapped and plans drawn up to collect all the used cooking oil?

The fuel it would be used to create could power the trucks used to collect it as well as provide a new relatively large source of renewable domestic fuel.
Is making this happen a good way to tap into a currently wasted resource, create green collar jobs from collecting it and building refineries and fuelling stations across the country? Are there any better ideas to start to fully utilize this currently wasted renewable resource more quickly? Wouldn’t this be a good part of any energy independence plan?

The Green Movement: Should we even bother?

How do you view the Earth from your own point of view: Is the Earth ‘it’ and we should be frantically trying to save it with renewable and sustainable energies/practices/technologies? Or is the Earth like a womb planet birthing us into the rest of space as we launch off leaving behind this planet thoroughly used up and trashed? Or are we going through some sort of global rite of passage and we need to achieve a new sort of equilibrium/balance/organizational system before even thinking about exploring space (or our species might be seen as a kind of parasite/virus/cancer of the universe)? … Or do you prefer George Carlin’s take on it all in that the Earth can handle itself perfectly fine and if it should perceive us as a threat, in an act of homeostatic defense, it will just wipe our species out with a hurricane/flood/volcano/cancer/AIDS/(insert apocalyptic vision here)/so on and so forth. Other perspectives deviating from the above aforementioned few are not only welcomed but encouraged.

Do you think Bush put corporation and special interest group over average American (the people)?

Just look this year what bush support in bill, he only support war bill, bill that protect cellphone company from been suit in exchange from tapping you and me conversation, request for more oil drilling same time bad solar power and other renewable energy project, don’t wanted to do anything to further regulate the Oil Company. Delay Medicare coverage, reject tax increase for the wealthy, reject increase the length of time UI benefit for the unemployment, reject increase GI bill for our servicement, but approve all the bill related to the Iraq War.

Is Bush blind? should he has visit to typical American to see why turn life is alike this day?

What D&D alignment represents my views on the environment?

The environment:
• It is absolutely criminal to waste natural resources and burn anything without reason or thought about hidden consequences. We need to move on to clean and renewable energy, regardless of the profit structure of capitalistic demands.
• It is criminal that governments are not allowing scientific progress to take charge of environmental action. Scientists should take charge of environmental action.
• We need to do better at taking care of the environment whatever it costs us. This would include protecting rare species of animal, plant and all other forms of life in order to protect the balance of the ecosystems, and in turn the balance of the earth.
• There must be some environmental considerations to be made before making a decision.
• It’s not just the people that need to take action in regards to the environment; this is after all a cooperative effort. Therefore, the government needs to take considerable action to solve the environmental problems, regardless of the affects it has on the economy.
• Corporations can’t be trusted to take beneficial action on the environment, so they need a degree of regulation.

What alignment represent these views? Lawful Good, Neutral Good, Chaotic Good, Lawful Neutral, True Neutral, Chaotic Neutral, Lawful Evil, Neutral Evil or Chaotic Evil?

I have a vehicle concept that I want to develop with a major corporation. What do I do?

I have spent the last 7 years developing a vehicle that runs solely on alternative and/ or renewable energy resources. I want to put it into development, but I hardly have the funds to even begin such a project, so I want to reach out for help from a large corp, but have no idea how to start. Most of the big names in motor companies are inaccessible via email, and I definitely can’t get them on the phone. This idea is worth an untold fortune, and I NEED TO UTILIZE IT!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Do you think Obama really represents the American people?

“Sen. Obama might say he doesn’t take contributions from oil companies, but he took more money last month from oil company executives than any other candidate. He might say he’ll stand up to the oil companies but he’s the only candidate who voted for the Bush-Cheney energy bill that was written by energy lobbyists and has been called the best energy bill corporations could buy.

“With gas prices this high, talk is cheap. The American people need solutions.”
—Campaign Spokesman Phil Singer

Sen. Obama raised more money from oil executives and employees in March than any other candidate.

Sen. Obama accepted more money from oil company executives last month than any other candidate, while he ran an ad saying he didn’t take money from oil companies. “Sen. Barack Obama continued accepting donations from oil company executives and employees last month even as he aired ads in which he stated he took no oil company money, his campaign finance reports show. Obama has taken at least $263,000 from oil company executives, family members and employees since entering the presidential race last year, including $46,000 last month. At least $140,000 has come in chunks of between $1,000 and $2,300, the maximum permitted under federal law.” [LA Times, 4/24/08]

Sen. Obama voted for the Bush/Cheney 2005 energy bill.

Sen. Obama voted for the 2005 Energy Bill, Hillary opposed. [H.R. 6, Vote #213, 07/29/05]

Bush’s 2005 energy bill was written by the energy lobby, who spent millions to ensure passage.

Public Citizen: Energy lobby gained ‘exclusive, private access to lawmakers’ to advocate for 2005 Energy Bill ‘starting with vice-president Dick Cheney’s energy task force’: “On August 8, 2005, President Bush signed into the law the energy bill; on July 28, the U.S. House of Representatives voted 275 to 156 to approve the energy bill; and on July 29, the U.S. Senate voted 74 to 26 to approve the energy bill. Since 2001, energy corporations have showered federal politicians with $115 million in campaign contributions—with three-quarters of that amount going to Republicans. This cash helped secure energy companies and their lobbyists exclusive, private access to lawmakers, starting with Vice-President Dick Cheney’s Energy Task Force, whose report provided the foundation of the energy bill passed by Congress and signed by President Bush on August 8.” [Public Citizen, "The Best Energy Bill Corporations Could Buy," citizen.org]
Thomas Friedman: 2005 Energy Bill Was ‘The Sum of All Lobbies’: “This bill is what the energy expert Gal Luft calls ‘the sum of all lobbies.’” [Thomas Friedman, New York Times, 8/5/05]

With 2005 energy bill, energy lobby got what they paid for.

Washington Post: 2005 Energy Bill was ‘a piñata of perks for energy industries’: The Washington Post said, “…The energy bill, touted as a way to reduce dependence on foreign oil or moderate gasoline prices, has been turned into a piñata of perks for energy industries.” [Washington Post, 7/30/05]
Energy Bill gave $6 billion in subsidies to oil & gas industry: [Public Citizen, "The Best Energy Bill Corporations Could Buy," citizen.org]

Sen. Obama has acknowledged pernicious influence of lobbyists on energy policy he supported.

Obama: ‘You can look at how Dick Cheney did his energy policy…he met with oil and gas companies forty times, and that’s how they put together our energy policy’: “The one thing I have to remind folks, though, of – we’ve been talking about this through Republican administrations and Democratic administrations for decades. And the reason it doesn’t change – you can take a look at how Dick Cheney did his energy policy. He met with environmental groups one, he met with renewable energy folks once, and then he met with oil and gas companies forty times, and that’s how they put together our energy policy. We’ve got to put the national interest ahead of the special interest, and that’s what I’ll do when I’m President of the United States.” [Democratic Presidential Debate, 7/23/07]

Do some people think it is not the role of the federal government to protect it citizens?

Do they want to abolish all government regulatory agencies ?

For thos of you who think my postings are racist; What would you say if I told you I’m quoting a BLACK author?

Back on Uncle Sam’s plantation
This is one of the very best commentaries on the present situation that I have seen! If a white person had written it they would have been labeled a racist, but since STAR PARKER IS BLACK and admittedly a product of the “welfare state,” it is acknowledged as a person speaking from experience.
Star Parker – Syndicated Columnist

Six years ago I wrote a book called Uncle Sam’s Plantation . I wrote the book to tell my own story of what I saw living inside the welfare state and my own transformation out of it.
I said in that book that indeed there are two Americas — a poor America on socialism and a wealthy America on capitalism.
I talked about government programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training (JOBS), Emergency Assistance to Needy Families with Children (EANF), Section 8 Housing, and Food Stamps.
A vast sea of perhaps well-intentioned government programs, all initially set into motion in the 1960s by Democrats, that were going to lift the nation’s poor out of poverty.
A benevolent Uncle Sam welcomed mostly poor black Americans onto the government plantation. Those who accepted the invitation switched mindsets from “How do I take care of myself?” to “What do I have to do to stay on the plantation?”
Instead of solving economic problems, government welfare socialism created monstrous moral and spiritual problems — the kind of problems that are inevitable when individuals turn responsibility for their lives over to others.
The legacy of American socialism is our blighted inner cities, dysfunctional inner city schools, and broken black families.
Through God’s grace, I found my way out. It was then that I understood what freedom meant and how great this country is.
I had the privilege of working on welfare reform in 1996 which was passed by a Republican controlled Congress.
I thought we were on the road to moving socialism out of our poor black communities and replacing it with wealth-producing American capitalism.
But, incredibly, we are now going in the opposite direction.
Instead of poor America on socialism becoming more like rich American on capitalism, rich America on capitalism is becoming like poor America on socialism.
Uncle Sam has welcomed our banks onto the plantation and they have said, “Thank you, Suh.”
Now, instead of thinking about what creative things need to be done to serve customers, they are thinking about what they have to tell Massah in order to get their cash.
There is some kind of irony that this is all happening under our first black president on the 200th anniversary of the birthday of Abraham Lincoln.
Worse, socialism seems to be the element of our new young president. And maybe even more troubling, our corporate executives seem happy to move onto the plantation.
In an op-Ed on the opinion page of the Washington Post, Mr. Obama is clear that the goal of his trillion dollar spending plan is much more than short term economic stimulus.
“This plan is more than a prescription for short-term spending — it’s a strategy for America ‘s long-term growth and opportunity in areas such as renewable energy, healthcare, and education.”
Perhaps more incredibly, Obama seems to think that government taking over an economy is a new idea. Or that massive growth in government can take place “with unprecedented transparency and accountability.”
Yes, sir, we heard it from Jimmy Carter when he created the Department of Energy, the Synfuels Corporation, and the Department of Education.
Or how about the Economic Opportunity Act of 1964 — The War on Poverty — which President Johnson said “…does not merely expand old programs or improve what is already being done. It charts a new course. It strikes at the causes, not just the consequences of poverty.”
Trillions of dollars later, black poverty is the same. But black families are not, with triple the incidence of single-parent homes and out-of-wedlock births.
It’s not complicated. Americans can accept Barack Obama’s invitation to move onto the plantation. Or they can choose personal responsibility and freedom.
Does anyone really need to think about what the choice should be?
“The trouble with socialism is that you eventually run out of other people’s money.”

Bumfug, great question, BUT I would guess that maybe her opinions were formed because of her background, the childhood years.
Rupert, I am on board with you. Soon they will be deciding which radio, and television programs we will be allowed to watch…
Short of having a tea party, what do you suggest we do?
Seriously?
How can we effect change?
How do we get the hope back?
The media has to be instrumental…somehow, they need to wake up before it’s too late!
Thanks questioning Woman…just keep hangin in and prayin…

She needs to have a large part in this ole government of ours but that is highly unlikely, isn’t it…?
Control, control, control…the dems have it and their reach is growing by the hour…

Do drill baby drill people still support corporations having no regulations practically and continued offshore?

drilling?

Or have you woken up and realised a fast transition to renewable cleaner energy is needed? Not only to protect our environment but to protect the many jobs that get adversely affected when disasters like this happen?

Name the companies and states which harness wind energy in India.?

What’s the reason to subsidize alternative energy companies?

I’m not asking about raw research that occurs at universities – like discovering totally new technologies.

I’m wondering if there are any good reasons to subsidize existing solar, nuclear, wind, etc power companies. By reducing the price of nuclear power below the market equilibrium, people consume more nuclear power than they otherwise would, so there’s a deadweight loss.

If you just want to discourage gas consumption, wouldn’t a gas/petroleum tax be more efficient? That way private firms can optimally choose between other options.

Couldn’t the same 4 billion dollar tax breaks the oil companies get be used for wind and solar energy instead?

…instead of using fossil fuels to generate electricity?

..for plug-in hybrid cars?

What companies stand to benefit from greener energy and technology?

Given the incoming Obama administration’s emphasis on greener energy solutions, what companies out there are best positioned to gain from this shift? What American companies are currently leading the way in cleaner energy (solar, wind, ethanol, etc)?

Why do racist conservative bigots love funding the military but hate funding green solar energy companies?

The proper role of government as said in the constitution is to fund solar, wind and hydro companies.

NOT to fund a giant a racist military.

Western Wind Energy Corp.?

Canadian wind energy company

Need list of alternative energy companies for investments?

I am looking for alternative energy companies for future investments; hydrogen fuel cells, battery, solar, wind, etc.

How much potential does starting a energy supply company using wind power have?

I’m currently majoring in aerospace engineering at Iowa State and my plans for after graduation are to start up a company in MN and ND. Both of these states are rich in wind energy and have more than enough to go around. Going green is what the government seems to care about these days. With CO2 levels rising, and coal and oil running out- the infinite/renewable resource of wind seems like the way to go…

Q1) is this even a good idea?
Q2) how would i go about starting this up? what would i need?
Q3) Does this have the potential of being a great success?
-thanks

Should energy companies be subsidized by our federal government?

Should energy companies be subsidized by our federal government?
If so, which industries should receive them and why? Create a priority list, with industry receiving largest amounts at the top (solar, oil, wind, coal, hydro, natural gas, nuclear).

Does anybody know anyone who has a wind turbine?

I looked into solar panels a little and decided they are impractical. I am a renter and i want a portable unit. I’ll honestly probably never buy them, but i’m really curious about finding practical, affordable solutions for individuals looking for renewable energy sources.
Amazon.com has a wind turbine with generator for $600 that generates 400+ watts of energy. A space heater requires ~1500 and would provide a significant amount of heat for a small home, so it would require maybe three turbines. It might be worth it. . .
The solar panels were $300 to produce 60 watts, by the way
again, this is just a curiosity.
Thanks!!

Small everyday objects that represent science?

As the question states quite clearly, I am look for objects that represent very basic science concepts. These objects really need to be anything that you can find in the average home.The specific ideas that I am working with are as followed (Not all of them are completely science-focused):

Chemical Changes
States of Matter
Mechanical Energy
Gravity
Sound Waves
Renewable Energy (Sources)
Speed
Independent & Dependent Variables
Matter

What I was wanting to do with these objects were to glue/tape them to the side of a dodecahedron, with a small written explanation of the topic. So, they need to be small, but almost anything will work.

Thanks in advance.
I am going to have to share this in class, so I am trying to think of things that could be demonstrated in a way, things being sort of abstract or creative would help a lot with this.

How Should I Charge My Batteries?

I am planning on making a Home Made Solar Panel and I would like to know everything there is to know before I go and buy parts.

I am asking about the batteries here…
I would like NOT to use the big bulky batteries made for Renewable Energy Sources and other things like that so I was thinking about using NiMH batteries instead.
I would like to know if there is a specific recharge rate (volts & amps) for these types of batteries and if so what would it be aproximatively.

Please help me choose my batteries carefully and if the big bulky ones are really necessary (I don’t like them because they’re lead) could you guide me to some good cheap ones.

I am mostly doing this for the experience and I’m not trying to power my whole house just a room, maybe 2…
Thank you very much for any advice
I would like to buy AA 1.2 volt batteries off eBay but I’m not quite sure what brand they’ll be…

Alternative power for homes in Northern Nevada.?

Global warming is becoming an issue!
Newspapers said that 2012 might be the end because of global warming.
I have some tips;
1) Buy smarter cars.
2) Avoid putting appliances on stand by. (Turn it off instead.)
3) Reduce,reuse,recycle.
4) Drive less. Walk more.
5)Unplug any household electronics.
6) Avoid overcooling/overheating homes.
7) Only wash a FULL load in the dishwasher/laundry. Turn off car when not in use(waiting)
9)Use towels instead of paper.
10)Dont leave water running
11) Turn down water heating by a few degrees.
12) Burn less things.
13) Reduce garbage
14) Buy paper products that use recycled paper.
15)Support renewable energy sources.
16) Use rechargable batteries.
17) Dont leave things in the charger for too long.
18) SPREAD AWARENESS!

Yesterday Ididnt care about this stuff but then I thought ‘WE NEED TO STOP GLOBAL WARMING BECAUSE ITS BECOMING AN ISSUE.!’ IF you are not supportive, dont answer this question.

Aluminum can solar energy?

I have found a lot of information on using aluminum cans for solar heating…but I am looking for any information on using aluminum cans as a medium for solar panels and how this can be used to create electricity for the charging of a storage system (common storage systems which use marine batteries) in order to provide electrical energy to a house. Any and all plans, blueprints, thoughts, ideas, etc are welcome. I’m looking to go off-grid (does not have to be with this system, but I hope not to spend so much money as is required to solar panels in order to do this), something that can be done without looking to a major manufacturer if at all possible.

I’m also open to ideas involving a combination of systems. An example might be using the heat trapped in the attic of your home which spins the attic vents on the roof in order to spin or turn a set of turbine blades used to charge a set of batteries, in turn providing a renewable power source for your home.

If anyone has any thoughts, ideas or information on anything such as this which is real, please let me know. Thank you.

paper questions. is it good?

Count how many electronic devices you own. Now count how many of those you use on a daily bases. Now think about where all of the power to run those items comes from. As simple as it is, many Americans never think about where the power to run their personal gadgets, there only worry is about how big the bill is going to be at the end of the month. The truth is, Americans are the ones who need to think about energy consumption the most, because America uses far more energy per capita than any other nation in the world. This is because we have more money to burn, and we are completely energy dependent. If we want out world to continue to thrive, we as Americans are going to have to start using less energy as a whole and building more ways to reduce dependencies on oil and other unrenewable, dirty resources. The purpose of this paper is to inform the public about the salvations and pitfalls of different sources of renewable energy and the dangerous we will face if we don’t switch to it.
•Wind
Wind is great renewable resource; in this section of my paper I will outline the pros and cons of wind energy.
Wind is energy is completely clean, inexpensive to build, and produces a reasonable power output. However, wind energy can only work efficiently in areas where there is a more or less constant wind. Wind energy works the best in places like California where there is mountain ranges where valleys get constant wind blowing through them. Wind energy does work in Iowa though, mostly you will see wind farms on hills, but if you’ve ever seen an old farm it is most likely that they had wind energy! Wind energy is very old; it in the 18th century to pump water.

•Solar
Solar energy is one of my favorite sources of energy. It can be mounted on a roof to create clean power all through the day. Solar energy has several dehabilitating pitfalls though. Solar energy creates enough power to easily run a home, but it creates most of the energy when the occupants aren’t actually home. So a solar panel will run your appliances such as your fridge for free, but in the evening when you get home, turn on all the lights, and the sun is down, solar panels aren’t going to do you any good. So in order to combat this problem, solar panels would have to have batteries, this is completely possible, but unfortunately the batteries would have to be quite big, and very costly to replace once they stopped holding a charge. Solar energy would be great for the Midwest and other less populated areas but in order for solar energy to power places like New York City, you’re going to have to convince Montana to give up half their land for sole solar panel use for the “greater good”.
•Water Power and hydrogen power.

Water power is another very old renewable resource; it was use thousands of years ago to turn big wheels that were dipped in rivers to grind things up. Water power today is more tuned towards dams; dams make good energy, but they harm the environment more than any other renewable resource. Building dams causes the area in front of the dam to flood, resulting in loss of habitat for many an animal. Hydrogen power would be absolutely awesome if we had a source of pure hydrogen closer than the sun to harvest from. The only practical use for hydrogen energy is to use excess energy from solar panels to transform water into hydrogen; this may be a substitute for batteries for solar panels.

•Nuclear energy

In my mind this is the energy that has the potential to save humanity. Nuclear energy puts out tremendous amounts of power and has only a little waste. The main problem with nuclear energy is idiots who are terrified of being saved by it because it might “blow up”. Other problems include: the storage of the small amount of byproduct, eventually we will run out of Uranium (not a pressing problem), and nuclear plants take a long time to build even if they were to pushed through to build immediately, which never happens. German is currently 80% dependent on Nuclear energy and I think we need to follow their lead.
In conclusion, we as people have a responsibility to protect the world and to protect ourselves. In order to accomplish this we need to move forward and invest heavily in completely renewable resources, and stop popping out kids. As previously stated, I believe nuclear power will be our salvation, but we need to invest in all renewable resources; wind energy for California, solar for the Midwest, hydro for places with large rivers, and nuclear for the New Yorkers.

Why dont both parties support a carbon or foreign oil tax?

If you put a tax on carbon, or specifically, oil, it will:

1) help eliminate our dependence upon foreign oil
2) Allow us to minimize our military activities in the Middle east, which will cause islamic fundamentalists to terrorize someone else. Muslims wont hate the US if we ignore them like Africa.
3) Encourage growth of energy sources at home, improving the US economy.
4) Encourage growth of alternative, renewable and clean fuels
5) For those who care about AGW, it will decrease greenhouse gases.
6) Help decrease the deficit with increased tax revenue.

All in all, its a win/win. Repubs get to minimize terror and increase the economy, dems get alternative energy and help for global warming. Teabaggers get nothing, but they dont seem to want anything buy no taxes and all services anyway.
Yes, I understand that a carbon tax will raise prices… but isnt it worth it to save lots of soldiers lives as well as billions in payments to Saudi Arabia and Lockheed Martin?

Wil renewable energy cause our economic system collpase?

I get this idea from the movie “Chain Reaction” starring Keanu Reeves, Morgan Freeman, Rachel Weisz.
Or it will only cause oil companies to collapse?

How can a renewable energy source improve the life cycle of a digital system?

What do you think of energy independence?

Let’s set aside Global Warming for a minute and focus on economics.

Would it not be beneficial for America to move its energy sources away from oil and other fossil fuels? We continue to purchase billions of dollars worth of oil from countries like Saudi Arabia (which provided most of the 9/11 attackers) while not investing in renewable resources that can be harvested here in the US and create domestic employment opportunities.

Should we invest time and energy in converting our energy system to renewable resources? I think that this is an issue that both conservatives and liberals can agree upon.
I could have sworn i said let’s set global warming aside, Peaceone

Why doesn’t the government make it easier/cheaper to use renewable energy in the home?

such as more subsidies for wind and solar energy systems installed ateach home

renewable energy through collected rainwater for cemetery?

are there systems or methods that can be used for maintenance of landscape and at the same time can provide energy for structures?

How far behind Europe is U.S. in terms of Renewable Energy and High-Speed Rail?

Seems to me that the U.S. is years behind Europe and Asia (specifically China and Japan) when it comes to renewable energy deployment and high-speed rail. Too many lobbyists control the political system and they stand in the way of progress. So, how far behind are we?

How and where to make a complaint against a renewable energy installer?

An independant inspection report highlighted several faults in the installation of a solar water heating system.

What other software is similar to RETScreen?

I understand that RETScreen is a very popular software for design and feasibility of renewable energy systems. What alternative software is available? Is these anything web based?

Are there any lightning energy harvesting systems/designs at work yet this days?

Writing a report on renewable energy and I need to know if there are ANY systems/designs that are built and used atleast for experimental purposes? So fur what i have been found is researches that say its possible but they used computer programs to stimulate the lightning and the detailed electrical circuit to store the harvested energy.

how much does solar power cost in Australia?

need to find out for a school assignment

How much does solar power and wind power cost per kWh?

How much would it cost to power a neighborhood on solar or wind power?

I’m trying to find information on solar panels or wind turbines that would be able to power a whole neighborhood, along with how much it would cost.

how close are we to getting solar power cost-effectively?

How efficient/cost-effective would it be for solar power generation to be used on a massive scale?

Although solar/photovoltaic panels are still quite inefficient, why not use them on a massive scale, in places like Australia or the Sahara where there is bright sunlight nealry all the time? Surely solar farms on a collossal scale would: a) find a use for huge areas of otherwise useless desert, and b) generate enough electricity for the entire country, allowing it to do away with power stations? Or would the overall cost be too great – surely huge projects like these would help to lower the cost of photovoltaic panels?

How much would it cost, and how much land would be need to get all the electricity in the US from Solar Power?

Im just curious as to if this is even possible. How much total power is used on average by the US? How much would it cost to make this many solar panels or other systems to make electricity from the sun? Im trying to figure out an estimate of how much it would cost to get all the electricity used in the us from solar power.

How much will it cost to install a solar energy power to run a few appliances such as lights,tv,e-fans?

Also where I can inquire here in the Philippines (NCR) about the installation of Solar Power Energy?

Solar power cost effective calculation?

An average householder uses 160 litres day-1 hot water at a temperature of 55oC, and the specific heat of water is 4.1868 kJ kg-1oC-1 and the inlet temperature of the water to the house is 10°C. Estimate the total energy requirement for hot water supply. If a 2 m2 solar collector is installed to save electricity for hot water supply, the efficiency of the solar panel is 55%. Assuming the mean availability of solar energy throughout the year is 115 Wm-2, the cost of electricity is 5.87p kWh-1, the total cost of the installation is £2000, and it has a life span of 20 years, is the scheme cost effective at a 0% discount rate?

I got the total energy required to heat the water as 11.47GJ/Annum and that its not cost effective as the solar panles will provide 34.7% of the heating requirement which is equilivent to £1300 over 20 years, thus as it cost £2000 to install, its not worth it.

Is this correct? I feel i have done it wrong

How much would it cost to power my home using solar power?

What would be the approximate cost to power a 3500 squ. ft. home and a water well through solar power?
