Photovoltaic Solar And Electromagnetic Induction Energy

By Dale Green

Our Earth has been very generous with all the renewable sources of energy in so many different forms. So many corners of the planet have been fortunate to have used renewable power when mechanical electricity, powered by petroleum wasn't readily available.

We must seek to develop, store and generate the earth's current form into usable power for our needs. Even though the wind, sun, and even the earth itself will never stop providing us the energy we desire. As our fossil fuel continues to be depleted, we seek with urgency to find a way to transition into alternative energy sources.

Considering the what it took during the last century to make fossil fuels into crude, it makes generating energy from alternative fuels look easy. And then when you think about what it took to further refine it into different types of gas, diesel, and even petroleum blends. The extensive process cost over millions of dollars.

It may be unfamiliar to all of us but this kind of transitioning energy is what the world needs today in order to preserve and protect the world from the worsening condition of global warming.

Solar electricity is a great renewable fuel, but very expensive. The biggest cost comes from buying all the needed equipment to transfer over to solar energy. The initial equipment alone will be a lot more expensive than our present power we generate mechanically. We need to learn to accept the price as we transition to the alternative energy. These changes are not to be expected to take place overnight. Although we do need to accept the changes, and the price it will cost to change.

Actually, electricity can be generated just the same way it was generated by the British scientist, Michael Faraday during the 1800s. Changing the energy into electrical energy can be done by using either one of the seven available methods. But the one method mostly used by mechanics is the electromagnetic induction. Although the process is still the same, it will take training and knowledge before the energy is completely transformed into renewed fuels for electricity.

Although moving at a quick speed, photovoltaic technology has very high costs. Photovoltaic solar panels cost much more than it is to mechanically generate power. With great hope, within the next few years, the market will turn the situation around and make solar power more feasible than petroleum.

Learning new methods or techniques to develop this energy into renewable fuels is possible. Students of this generation are being taught in school to be aware of the depleting condition of the mother earth because of the global warming. Perhaps some of them would be trained to help in the development of new methods and equipments to be used for transitioning the energy from the sun, the wind, and the earth into alternative energy that are not harmful to the environment. This will make a great improvement for the planet we all live in.
