That is why hydro-power is influential in supporting a movement towards using renewable energy.
Solar Power
Solar power is a form of renewable energy that is beneficial to the consumer. The government is well aware of the public’s concern to reduce high energy cost while the overall need for energy has increased. It is argued that switching to solar power will cost the consumer more and also be more of an embarrassment for them to have bulky technology attached to their homes. However, this statement was disproven through the Sustainable Energy Resources for Consumers Grants (SERC) study. SERC was created to analyze the benefits of renewable energy technologies. Through the use of these grants, renewable energy systems that focused on solar …show more content…
There are areas of low winds across the United States and the world that wouldn’t be ideal for large wind turbines. Nonetheless, no matter how strong the wind is there are different sizes and shapes of turbines and windmills that can capture even the slightest gust. Since wind is present everywhere we will use whatever can be generated as a primary source. It will alleviate the high demand of other sources, whether renewable or non-renewable, in order to keep our planet cleaner. Wind supplemented by another renewable resource in the area is the ideal situation for working towards a renewable reliant United States. It is beneficial to remember that we can capture wind and create energy anywhere in the …show more content…
The issue often discussed with wind power is that there are not enough resources to store the power they create. If the energy created by wind sources ran out, we would need an immediate backup that could provide power. That is why the liquid metal battery has become beneficial to finally implementing renewable energy as our primary energy source. The creation of the battery through MIT was a long, complex thing to do. They had to break down different materials to determine which stored energy the best then base their creation off that source. A small liquid battery was created and eventually led to a battery 40 ft. in size that can power 200 household for a day on stored energy (Sadoway, 2012). When the wind stops and energy production is halted, the battery immediately takes effect and provides continues power so that wind power is sustainable to the
