There are alot of wind farms going up in my area. The biggest con that I see from these generators is that they pollute the beauty of our mountain ridges here in Western Pennsylvania. Sure, I am all for energy independence, but I think we rush to solutions in this country. What are your thoughts?

Roger l asked:


Wind turbines that are strategically placed around the would harvest wind energy 24/7 with out using a drop of oil except say for the occasional maintenance crew that has to drive up to the turbine.

Which candidate will push us further and harder in to the new age where we don’t depend so much on foreign oil.

Palak asked:


Construction of Wind energy Farms is on the rise worldwide. India is facing continuous energy crisis.?
1). Write a report on existing Wind energy farms and the latest ones which are coming up in India (their name and location) and comment on 1)what are there limitations?
2)How successful will it be in the years to come?
3)Will global warming effect it in any way?

Chef Dane asked:


What role does lithium play in the fusion energy production of our Sun?

Name Reaction % Termination Neutrino Energy, q
——————————————————————————
pp p + p –> H² + e+ + ve 100 q < 0.420 MeV
pep p + e- + p --> H² + ve 0.4 q = 1.442 MeV
hep He³ + p –> He4 + ve 0.00002 q < 18.773 MeV
Be7 Be7 + e- --> Li7 + ve 15 q = 0.862 MeV 89.7%
q = 0.384 MeV 10.3%
B8 B8 –> Be7 + e+ + ve 0.02 q < 15 MeV

Are the neutrino energies right?

Posion Oak asked:


I know that solar energy is energy from the sun converted into elctrical energy and all that great stuff, but if you heat a sheet of flashing copper, put it in the sun and it makes a little more energy than it did in the shade, is that thermal or solar energy
OK I think the real question I’m asking is how is thermal energy converted into elctricity
