Is Green Energy For Me
Existing type of alternative energy
The sun is the most powerful natural energy source on the planet. Every day, 365 days per year The sun gives us energy in the form of light and heat all year long. A major part of this energy remain unused, while instead we burn carbon fuels, which are rapidly being depleted, and only becoming more and more expensive. The matter will only worsen for those who continue to rely on fossil fuels, and the time to use solar energy to power our homes is now.
Solar System
Typically you will get about 80% saving of that electricity that your electric geyser is going to use from your solar water heater. Those consumers that can afford it are turning to solar systems
alternative that most consumers have hardly heard about is a heat pump. Its main selling point is you have to pay less for the initial cost. With the heat pump you have a payback period of less than two years. With the solar panel you get a payback of in the region of about four years and with the cheap solar panel in the region of about six years.
A Solar system is approximately a 5-8 years investment., but taking advantage of federal tax credits and state, it may be paid much quicker. Solar water heaters also last much longer than gas or electric water heaters. In the meantime, your investment is paying dividends for the environment.
Wind Turbine
Probably the second most well-liked residential source of energy efficient is the home wind turbine. Wind energy, like solar, rely on nature to produce green energy, with few costs after the original installation.
Energy Efficient Lighting
To some, the phase out of the humble incandescent light bulb which has been a key element of the electrical industry is nothing but an inconvenience. To others, it is a long overdue and essential step in reducing carbon emissions and slowing the pace of climate change. To the electrical wholesaler it could be either of the above.
But one thing is certain, whatever your personal standpoint it is also a sales opportunity.
The commonly used metric for comparing energy efficient lighting is lumens of output per watt of electrical input. This method is appropriate for omni-directional bulbs such as traditional A-shape lamps and spiral CFLs.
What will happen. I think energy saving may create some jobs in the short term. However, Most of the empoyee will become unemployed once the solar panels, windmill are installed, theres little or no maintenance on them, there will be no reason to retain all employees. I do think we should develop green energy in more efficient ways than we have, and for that, a profit will need to be ensured after project completion in order to secure major investment.
Green energy is probably looking at making up 10 per cent or so, maybe a little less than that, of our energy mix over time.
