Fuel cell systems are not yet as durable as internal combustion engines, especially in some temperature and humidity ranges.

FCVs are currently more expensive than conventional vehicles and hybrids. Manufacturers must bring down production costs, especially the costs of the fuel cell stack and hydrogen storage, to compete with conventional technologies.
Is Current Wind Growth Sustainable? | Renewable Energy World Magazine Article - 0 views
-
wind farms are not only capital intensive but also have a long gestation period – could prove to be prohibitive for many potential investors.
-
terms of global policy, governments need to boost investments in onshore and offshore wind generation through the right mix of supportive policies and incentives.
-
wind energy will become even more attractive as it serves as an insurance against future increases in fuel and carbon prices, while reducing our dependency on fossil fuels imported from volatile regions.

"The growth in wind power capacity has shown no signs of slowing, even in these tough economic times. For two years running there has been more new wind power capacity installed than any other power generating technology in Europe - including coal, gas and nuclear. In 2009 the European market for wind turbines experienced a 23% growth rate, the same as the average growth rate over the last 15 years."Both in Europe and in the US, some 40% of all new power generating capacity installed in the past two years was wind energy. If the economic crisis continues, however, the reduction in power demand will start to impact wind energy, simply because of lower demand for new power plants. Nevertheless, the medium and long-term outlook remains very healthy, as political momentum is building towards a low carbon economy, without which humankind will not overcome three of the biggest concerns of our time - climate protection, energy security and the provision of jobs." "Wind power is a leader now, and will remain so in the future, attracting big investments and creating jobs. There is a boom waiting to happen in offshore wind energy. But, Europe's ageing electricity grids must be upgraded and extended, and the EU must also pursue a drive to build an offshore grid in the North and Baltic seas that will connect offshore wind farms to the shore, piping vast amounts of CO2-free energy to consumers at affordable prices."
How Fuel Cells Work | ClearEdge Power - 1 views

About the size of a refrigerator, the ClearEdge Plus fuel system hooks up to your natural gas supply and through its fuel processor, draws the hydrogen molecules out. Then, through an electrochemical process that combines the hydrogen molecules with oxygen, the unit generates up to 5kW of electricity for use throughout your entire home and allows you the control to select specific critical circuits you want to remain "up" even when the grid is "down."
How much energy can a wind farm produce? - Curiosity - 0 views
-
At 1.8 megawatts, that turbine produces 5.2 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, enough power for 600 households. As more turbines are grouped together, they collect more energy from the available wind.

The word geothermal comes from the Greek words geo (earth) and therme (heat). So, geothermal energy is heat from within the Earth. We can recover this heat as steam or hot water and use it to heat buildings or generate electricity. Geothermal energy is a renewable energy source because the heat is continuously produced inside the Earth. ... Cancel

Is Tidal Energy a sustainable way to produce power? | GreenAnswers - 4 views
-
It does not create any emissions that may contribute to global warming.
-
Tidal energy is most sustainable and beneficial as a tool in a larger tool belt of renewable energy sources needed to meet our energy demands.
-
"tidal power is a renewable source of electrical power that is used in addition to other sources of energy. It does not create any emissions that may contribute to global warming. Tidal power is not entirely the most consistent source of electricity though, as it does not adhere to peak usage schedules, due to daily tidal cycles (differing energy harnessing potential between Ebb and Flood tides). Tidal energy is most sustainable and beneficial as a tool in a larger tool belt of renewable energy sources needed to meet our energy demands."

Here’s rule one when it comes to waves....the waves move, the particles don’t. The wave moves from place to place. The wave carries the energy from place to place.

Negotiating power purchase agreements
-
In some states, where the electricity market has been deregulated, it is possible for the owner of a wind project to sell electricity directly to customers. However, wind developers usually sell their electricity to electric utilities, which sell the electricity to customers. T his is usually done by negotiating a power purchase agreement, which is a contract requiring a utility to buy the electricity from a wind farm at a certain price over a certain period of time. In some cases, an alternative arrangement is reached, in which the developer owns a share of the project long enough to mak

After this point, the ownership in the project “flips,” and the utility ends up owning the project.
