Why Hydro ?

Hydropower plants capture the energy of falling water to generate electricity. A turbine converts the kinetic energy of falling water into mechanical energy. Then a generator converts the mechanical energy from the turbine into electrical energy.

Hydroplants range in size from "micro-hydros" that power only a few homes to giant dams like Hoover Dam that provide electricity for millions of people.

 

Why Wind ?

A wind turbine, which is installed on top of a tall tower, collects kinetic energy from the wind and converts it to electricity that is compatible with a home's electrical system.

A wind turbine typically lowers a household electricity bill by 50% to 90%. It is not uncommon for wind turbine owners with total-electric homes to have monthly utility bills of only $8 to $15 for nine months of the year. In northern parts of the U.S. where less air conditioning is used the bills can be very low year-round. The amount of money a small wind turbine saves you in the long run will depend upon its cost, the amount of electricity you use, the average wind speed at your site, and other factors.

Why Solar ?

Solar power options include PhotoVoltaic (PV) cells, Concentrating Solar Power plants (CSP), and solar water heating.

Photovoltaic cells convert sunlight directly into electricity. When sunlight strikes a PV cell, electrons are dislodged, creating an electrical current.

Concentrating solar power plants produce electric power by converting the sun's energy into high-temperature heat using various mirror configurations.

A typical residential solar water-heating system reduces the need for conventional water heating by about two-thirds. It minimizes the expense of electricity or fossil fuel to heat the water and reduces the associated environmental impacts.

Why Hydrogen?

Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe, accounting for 90 percent of the universe by weight. It is not commonly found in its pure form since it readily combines with other elements. (DOE) It is found in the water that covers 70% of the Earth’s surface and in all organic matter. (Air Products)

The combustion of hydrogen produces no carbon dioxide (CO2), particulate, or sulfur emissions.

Hydrogen can be produced from renewable resources, such as by reforming ethanol (this process emits some carbon dioxide) and by the electrolysis of water  (DOE)

The amount of energy produced by hydrogen per unit weight of fuel is about 3 times the amount of energy contained in an equal weight of gasoline, and almost 7 times that of coal. (FSEC)
