Directing Our Attention to the Many Sources of Alternative Energy

Article Category: Self Help

Author Name: Gail Dobson

Understanding the viability of available sources of alternative energy is crucial to continued progress and overall human survival. There are so many reasons why we all need to sit down and work on it. While the big boys on the global stage have produced the Kyoto Treaty with concentrated efforts to reduce greenhouse gases and other pollutants, alternative sources of energy are continuously showing significant progress for a better future without the toxins and other dangerous by-products of today's fossil fuel use and the inevitable effects of global warming.

These sources of alternative energy not only protect us by doing away with these harmful by-products; they also function to help preserve many of our precious natural resources. To comprehend how these alternative energy sources aid us in preserving the delicate ecological balance of our planet, knowing and acting on these available alternative energy types out there is crucial. For starters, think about wind power.

Wind energy is the result of wind power propelling wind turbines. The action will be converted into direct electrical current via electrical generators. Older windmill types harness wind energy to power up mechanical machineries to accomplish physical work (the pumping of the water and the crushing of the grain). These days, electrical currents are being produced by large-scale wind farms for national electrical grid purposes. Individual turbines are also being tapped for providing electricity into homes and other isolated locations.

Solar power is another popular alternative energy wonder commonly used for cooking, heating and electricity production purposes. You may have even heard of solar energy being utilized for seawater desalination. Solar power functions by trapping sunlight within solar cells to be finally converted into usable electricity.

To add to that, solar power also relies on sunlight that hits the exposed solar thermal panels to convert it for water or air heating purposes. Other conventional methods call for sunlight to hit parabolic mirrors to heat water. All these wonderful uses found their way through homes and folks everywhere are continuing to appreciate the benefits.

Geothermal energy is another great alternative energy source that exploits the "earth heat" for various energy purposes. Geothermal energy targets the heat energy from underneath the earth, particularly with the hot rocks under the ground that heats natural water systems producing steam. Whenever holes are drilled in a certain region, the resulting steam that naturally shoots upwards will be purified and then used to drive turbines that power electric generators.

People these days also turn to hydroelectric power coming from dammed water and the potential energy that can be produced through water turbines and generators. Another variation would be to make use of the water system's kinetic energy (or those from undammed sources) like tidal power. The idea of hydropower works by the harnessing of a river's gravitational descent, which will be compressed in a single location using dams. This should create concentrated pressure and water flow that can be exploited to turn water wheels and turbines. This is what drives our electric generators for energy production, which can also run backwards via a motor for pumping water back.

Understanding how these sources of alternative energy will help us is crucial for our survival and progress. It's about time we turn to something else less destructive, and more productive, as others would want to point out.
