How does conserving electricity benefit the US economy?
I’m looking for reasons to save energy besides global warming. I don’t save money. I live in student housing so I get free electricity.
In the interest of conserving electricity & kinetic energy, how can I decrease the MPG of my Toyota Prius?
I’ve taken a new interest in the environment and conserving energy. I feel that if I lower my miles per gallon in my Prius, I will be using less kinetic energy to power it. Less kinetic energy used will mean less kinetic energy pollution that results from hybrid technology. Can I get a kit to […]

how do nuclear power stations and wind turbines generate electricity?
What is the disadvantage of using wind turbines to generate electricity for industrial use? I am talking about?
Every idea has its good and bad side. I am just wondering what the odds are against wind turbine electricity.
What is better alternative to Solar and Electricity?
. Also see related interesting question in my profile.
What is the best inexpensive source for light-weight, small wind turbines to generate electricity?
I want to explore the feasibility for using wind power in my particular urban setting where one finds both reliably moderate-to-high wind speeds and a high need for electricity. The general question I need to answer is whether an inexpensive local solution can generate electricity inexpensively enough to compete on cost with electricity generated at […]
Make electricity with steam at home?
This is probably a silly idea but I really like the idea of making my own electricity. I’ve thought about solar and wind but neither would really work for me. My wife & I will be building a new home in 9-10 years and I have a new idea…. We want to have one of […]
How do solar plants and hydroelectric dams generate electricity?
Can anyone explain to me in a simple way how solar plants and hydroelectric plants generate electricity? I’ve done research, but I’m a little confused. Please note, I am not asking how solar panels work. I want to know how solar PLANTS generate electricity.
Why do wind turbines that generate electricity have only three giant blades.?
I can only guess that wind turbines used to generate electricity have only 3 blades because it is the most efficient design. If this is the most efficient design, then why do house fans have more blades. Why are they not made with 3 blades?
is there an alternative for solar panels that can collect and convert solar energy into electricity?
A solar panel is a device that collects and converts solar energy into electricity or heat which can be used by (for example) nearby buildings. But is there any device that acts like a solar panel?
How To Generate Electricity From Wind
www.WindEnergyGuide.net – How To Generate Electricity From Wind – Today, wind energy is mainly used to generate electricity. Wind is called a renewable energy source because the wind will blow as long as the sun shines. Wind Energy Basics Thus, a turbine operating at a site with an average wind speed of 12 mph could […]

Who makes the parts for a wood fired steam powered electricity generator that can also heat a home?
Outdoor wood and coal furnaces as add on units to heat pumps are becoming popular now. I’m trying to find a vendor who makes a stand alone unit for powering a riverside cabin home. A 200 amp 240 VAC unit would be perfect, but a 100-150 amp unit would power everything.
