and the next major thing to come will be far worse than gas, it will be water, mark my words, we are running out of water.
The only question I have about wind turbines is the possible effects they might have on the weather.
How do you think that windmills could possibly effect weather?
2) Nuclear power is a short term answer that adds to pollution.
1. DC current is easily converted to AC power via inverters, or you can use the DC to power an AC generator. There are also many DC, AC and LP gas powered appliances made for RV's that can be used in the home, or special models could be made to look and operate just like the existing home appliances. Most people who use Solar or Wnd power now use DC to AC converters and conventional 110 volt AC appliances and sell their excess power back to the utility for a credit.
2. You don't need a back up for solar or wind if you remain on the grid. Just sell your excess electricity back to the utility for a credit and when the sun does not shine or the wind does not blow for a few days, you simply buy electricity from the power company. Again, something that has been done for years.
3. Storage is nto a major isssue since most system use a bank of batteries to store excess electricity for night time use, and then again as stated above, you sell your excess electricity back to the electric company for a credit and buy it back when the weather conditions do no allow you to venerate your own power.
You only need storage and/or a back up generator when your jouse cannot be connected to the electrical. That would only apply to some very remore parts of some states.
ife is not just about your household or the storefront you work in. Some businesses and factories require so much more than the average person sees. Before you spout off on ideas that you heard about on "An Inconvenient Truth", or that you hear about on CNN (which have huge power requirements of it's own) think about what it takes to make a Sport Trac or provide you with sheet for your bed or food for your table.
