Wind Turbine
Before considering switching to home wind turbines or home solar panels, or a combination of wind/solar/electric, the articles advise about how to know how much electricity will be generated per unit, wind and solar availability for the area, restrictions, disadvantages, and where to buy a reliable wind or solar product.
Wind Power
The article, Wind Power Generators, provides information from and a link to the U.S. Department of Energy’s Wind Powering America Program. It provides an estimated cost per kilowatt-hour, and a link to a wind map for determining average wind availability for any area in the U.S. The Facts About Solar Energy article provides information and links so people can educate themselves about solar energy and solar panels. Links are provided for rating different wind and solar products.
Al Gore & T. Boone Pickens Home Wind Generator Projects
This section of the Wind Power Generator article provides information about celebrity involvement in reducing the causes of global warming. Links are provided to T. Boone Pickens Texas Panhandle Project, and to the Al Gore projects.
Effects of Global Warming
The article traces the causes of global warming to Americans using fossil fuels such as coal and oil.
The Al Gore goal is to switch to 100% non-fossil fuels in ten years. T. Boone Pickens touts wind energy and the cleaner fossil fuel, natural gas.
Leonardo DiCaprio’s 11th Hour Film
Academy Award winner Leonardo DiCaprio has joined the clean energy bandwagon by clean energy education through his film. Notables such as Stephen Hawking appear in the movie.
Solar Power, Home Solar Panels
Bernie’s solar article provides information from the U.S. Department of Energy’s National Renewable Energy Laboratory and a link to their site. Information is provided about how solar energy works, and a link to a solar map is provided for average sun availability in any given area. Also, a link is provided for reviews about available solar panel and other solar products.
