| Energy issues are a hot topic nowadays. We are | | | | energy like electricity by the use of turbines. Although |
| being told over and over again to conserve energy. | | | | wind power produces only about 1.5% of worldwide |
| We have to save energy or the sources of energy, | | | | electricity production, it has been gaining a lot of |
| so they say. Well, if the energy of the universe | | | | popularity. In fact, between the years 2005 to 2008 the |
| remains constant, then where did the rest of the | | | | use of wind power has doubled. |
| energy go? Most of the useful energy in the universe | | | | These two abundant sources are also renewable and |
| has now been transformed into not-so-useful energy. | | | | environment friendly. While getting all the energy |
| A not-so-useful energy example is thermal energy, | | | | needed to run your household appliances, you don't |
| which explains global warming. So one way or another, | | | | have to worry about all the disadvantages they give |
| it is right to say that we should conserve energy. One | | | | to mother earth. These energy sources are clean, |
| way to do that is to make use of the most abundant | | | | abundant, and renewable. Combining solar and wind |
| energy sources like the sun and the wind or by | | | | power therefore, is very safe. |
| combining solar and wind power. | | | | As the use of these two sources of energy gets |
| Combining solar and wind power is getting popular | | | | popular day after day, you might be wondering who |
| nowadays. Scientists and engineers see this as the | | | | can use it or if you can use it. Anybody who can feel |
| future power source of the future. So while these | | | | the heat of the sun above them and feel the gust of |
| energy sources are overflowing without anyone using | | | | wind on their cheeks can use them, as in anybody |
| it, why not make use of them now? | | | | here on earth. If you are living in a place where you |
| First, what is solar power? Solar power from the word | | | | can see the sun all day long, all throughout the year it is |
| solar, which means sun. Basically it means power from | | | | best to use solar power in your place. If you happen to |
| the sun! The sun, which is the source of energy of | | | | live in North Carolina or somewhere really windy, you |
| everything here on earth, is one answer to energy | | | | can utilize wind power to its maximum potential. Or if |
| problems. How does solar power work? Solar power | | | | these two sources are both abundant in your place, |
| is collected by solar power panels. This collected | | | | combining solar and wind power is best. |
| energy is then stored in a generator. Next time you | | | | Only an infinitesimal amount of energy from the sun |
| need to use power, you can use it just like any other | | | | and wind are being used nowadays. Why not learn |
| energy source. | | | | more about this? By combining solar and wind power, |
| The same goes for wind power. Wind power | | | | let us save energy today. |
| converts energy from the wind into other forms of | | | | |
