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.

I want to make a wind turbine at home. How much would something like this cost? I obviously dont want one of those massive things you see at wind farms. I just want to make a small wind turbine to power things such as an outside fridge and some lighting.

thanks

Dan B asked:


i can see it now wind funnel turbines, scattered throughout tornado alley, waiting for a tornado to collapse in it’s grasp.. hot air rises , cold air drops- bang.. tornado? would a hydrogen tipped missile cause enough of a temperature change to stop a tornado ?

Amber asked:


Yea they cost a lot but produce enormous amounts of power.
Wind / Solar also are very expensive and produce next to no power.

It isn’t the 1960′s anymore and we are not Russia. Nuclear has come a long way sense then. We know how to safely use it and recycle spent fuel. The only by product expelled by the reactor is pure steam (water, H2O for you libs).

mitchell c asked:


For my science class me and a partner have to build a device powered by either wind steam or solar power. The device can do anything. But we want to have the biggest, Coolest project in the whole class! So got any ideas??

Zane Speed Nevins asked:


I have to do a five minute speach on this so please please help me…………..I have searched thousands of things all of which wind up not helping.

Zack asked:


I am looking into purchasing a power generating wind turbine for my house, but I’m after a bit of advice. What are the qualities that i should be looking for when i begin looking into the purchase?

cmb61761 asked:


Explain the process of producing electricity with the power of the wind. Please begin the process of making win and end with the parts of a wind turbine system.

NEED HELP PLEASE!!!!!!

Fabio K asked:


I’m talking about hybrid electricity not for cars, but for grid use, with the mix of Solar and wind power.

Tanner D asked:


We already have solar and wind power. Do we already have wave power?
