Renewable Energy Power

The number of people on this planet is increasing fast. More and more economies are being developed. The demand for energy power is greatly influenced by both of these circumstances. Today, this electricity demand is still being met with non-renewable energy sources. Burning fossil fuels, nevertheless, damages our world and most importantly our well-being. That is why the search is on for alternative renewable energy sources. The burning of non-renewable sources of energy has already influenced undesirable outcomessuch as global warming, smog and acid rain.

For many decades nuclear power was believed to be the answer to our energy crisis. Nuclear Power, however, also has some inherent drawbacks associated with it.

Renewable alternative energy forms are at the moment the most favorable option to replace our current dependency on fossil fuels and nuclear power. Given all potential forms of renewable energy power the three that are the furthest developed ones are solar energy, wind energy and marine energy.


Solar technology converts the energy that is contained in the sun's radiation. Wind technology uses wind turbines to produce electrical energy. Marine power technology produces electrical energy from the movements of the sea. Consuming fossil fuels is still a main factor of our electricity generation processdespite of the many alternative renewable energy forms that are already available.

The focus of this article is to discuss these problems in relation to renewable alternative energy.

Any form of renewable energy power has the advantage that it refills itself again continuously. While fossil fuels are limited resources solar power, wind energy and waves are in a sense unlimited resources as they will continue to exist for a very long time to come.
A further advantageous aspect of alternative renewable energy is the fact that its' production does not produce any harmful green house gases that pollute the atmosphere. This is the reason why renewable alternative energy is often seen as a clean or green energy.

When we use types of energy that are freely available in nature our society as a whole will benefit. Avoiding types of energy that pose a real threat to our environment and our health, such as fossil fuels and nuclear power will also benefit us.

Every day the sun sends off great amounts of energy. Collecting this renewable energy power and turning it into forms of power that we can utilize makes perfect sense for our society. This great amount of free and available power is one of the major reasons why everybody are keen to use solar energy in their homes. Sunlight has has been used in housing for many years, through windows as a natural light source and to help warming the houses.
Over recent years an increasing number of people have started to harness solar energy to also make hot water for their household, too. Technologies that use solar energy such as solar heaters for swimming pools and solar hot water systems are continuously gaining in popularity.

No green house gases are being released into the environment when wind power technology are being used to make electricity. In this country we can produce enough power from wind energy to meet all our energy requirements. Unfortunately, the speed with which wind energy progressed as an renewable energy power over the last few years has been a little bit slow. The process of pumping water and grinding grain using windmills has been around for centuries. Principally, wind energy is a a spin off of solar energy. The sun is consistently heating up different parts of the atmosphere while other parts decrease in temperature again after the sun has moved away due to the spinning of the earth. Differences in atmospheric pressure are the result of the existing differences in atmospheric temperatures. These differences in the pressure of different parts of the atmosphere lead to the development of wind. Lately, wind energy is evolving fast as a new alternative renewable energy type. The most commonly implemented wind technology, that is quite in-complex but potent are wind turbines. Rotor blades are being attached to an electricity generator. The generator rotates when the wind turns the blades. The engine then creates power. To profit from this renewable alternative energy form numerous wind farms have already been build globally. Further research needs to be conducted to aid in the implementation of offshore wind farms as currently many of these wind farms are still located on dry land. Winds usually blow stronger and more frequenton the open sea and offshore wind farms could profit from this. Very promising wind farms have been developed along the shorelines of numerous countriesrecently With a further progression of the implementation of wind power wind power could soon develop into one of our major energy sources. Stillwe need more improved technologies if we want to absolutely satisfy each and every one of our current and future power needs solely with alternative renewable energy.
