The price of electricity is going up. The price of everything in our capitalist society will go up. Inflation affects all nations and economies and as a nation the way we deal with it will determine our results on how we will grow and prosper. These unavoidable truths force us to consider alternative energy sources like solar panel technology and windmill generators as a way to both save money and be kind to the environment.
The old generating systems for power are destroying the world we live in. The unfortunate aspect of this environmental crisis that we are facing today is that we are the creators of this current situation that must be rectified without delay. The only way out of this situation, is for us, as individuals and as a nation, to spearhead the two pronged movement to reduce our energy consumption and develop alternative energy sources that are not damaging to our world.
National leaders are investing considerable funds into renewable sources of energy such as solar panel technology, wind power, and nuclear energy. Wind and solar power harnesses existing natural resources to produce energy, with little adverse effect on the environment.
Due to government investment in these renewable technologies, it has allowed the research to move quicker, resulting in lower prices and smaller scale for the home user.
The concept of a small wind turbine and/or a solar array has come full circle, to be seen as a reasonable and rational concept for main stream society.
The technology of solar power – familiar to students of physics — works by exposing solar photons to thin sheets of different electric elements, producing an electric current. With a sufficient number of these panels, it is possible to power your home. The appliances designed even a few years ago to run on a limitless supply of electricity are not the appliances we now need.
The appliances we need must be electrically streamlined to be the most energy efficient appliances we can produce. Only then will our efforts to be energy self sufficient be realistic.
For those in areas without constant sunshine, it is possible to utilize wind turbine technology to produce power to supplement.
A good option to help in climates where solar energy is restricted due to climate limitations, is the geothermal or aqua thermal heat pump. Already becoming extremely popular in the cooler climates, the ‘heat pump’ transfers the inherent heat of the Earths average 65 degree constant temperature, into a system of liquid filled pipes, and, with the use of a refrigerator-like compressor, send it into your home. It even reverses to cool in the summer.
If this heat pump is powered by your home solar panels, you have succeeded in making your solar panel installation part of the solution to our environmental problem.
