Renewable Energy

[bryant.coleman]

I made a research a couple years ago about the prospectives of renewable energy and it showed that it's not just something helpful for us to take care of our planet, but is also worth it from economic point of view

Could you please explain the economic prospective? The main drawback about renewable energy is that it is not affordable to the majority of the world population. For example, electricity generated from the solar panels cost as much as 4 times than the same from nuclear or hydro power plants. Solar panels need constant maintenance as well. Check this:

The graph doesn't make a lot of sense because it is said that it is the total cost of electricity per kWh, it just includes the cost of it per production with construction, not the product itself and how efficient it needs to produce electricity. Yes, it costs a lot but it doesn't require you to pay electricity using that because it's already the source. I can see that the resource is 5 years old, there are a lot of advancements regarding the production.

In this technological era, some advancements have potential to make our world cleaner and greener. Do you think that it is possible? That people would start doing it in their own little ways that they can eventually have an impact on our environment?

Lots of scientific studies are out there being researched and developed, for example, the artificial photosynthesis. It's where you make a plastic coating of some sorts that will get CO2 or something and make cleaner air. That's where it's going to boom when it's practical to make for everyone to use.

Do you believe that the research papers now can have an impact? Cite examples and do you think that it's possible?

We should recreate solar energy, electric power, water energy. At present these energies are depleted or wasted. We need to use a way to save on renewable energy.

I always though singapore had a good education and high iq population.
But then i realized a huge amount of singaporians are low iq immigrants ugh ( 2++ million)

Dude there is internet in singapore. Today there exist something like google.
Even 70 iq semi retards can use it.

Look up again the price per watt of a solar module or price per kwh over the lifecycle of a solar module.

Duh.

Yeah and many countries are already doing this like japan and new zealand. These countries are finding successful ways not to contribute to the depletion of our fossil fuels and are using natural sources that won't harm the environment.

This will not be realized properly, even though this is the case, but it does the greening of the earth in many ways, but it will not be balanced because on the other side of the big companies that do illegal logging, sand mining and many others that potentially damage the nature in large scale

[Pratama1987]

We must immediately begin to use and seek renewable energy ... because now the energy needs are very large ..... in addition to renewable energy must also be environmentally friendly

What do you mean by realized properly? It has been established but there some drawbacks that needed to be addressed like the cost of producing it, it can't really be mass produced unless it's supported by a lot of people. It's all about business and politics, in my opinion, that's why there are not enough power with applying renewable energy. I hope there would be some kind of entity that would help fix that.

New Zealand is too small to make any meaningful contribution. It's population is just around 4 million. And Japan remains one of the biggest importers of fossil fuels in the world. And their consumption of fossil fuels seems to have increased especially after the closure of nuclear power plants after the Fukushima disaster.

If we are talking about renewable energy, the best and the most efficient is to use the power of the sun. If we can just run cars using solar power and run factories using this energy then pollutants such as smoke belching from cars will be taken care of.  The world must ban the use of plastics and cellophane and if not must make some new technology to reduce garbage without releasing pollutants to air, land and water.

Those energy that are generated from natural resources which are renewable are tides,wind,heat from the sun,rain and geothermal energy.All of this have some impact on the environment.

[trako]

it has to spread quickly. because nature is worn out. People are so cruel. everything is running out. sun, wave, wind ... we have to turn everything into energy. but we can protect it in this way. oil must be abandoned.

What do you mean by impact in the environment? It does help in the conserving of the non-renewable energy sources that we have like coal. We need to provide alternative methods and support the new research that are coming from the academe or not. It's definitely the right mindset that we all need to have.

i think research in papers is not value if we can not apply in the life. In my country have a lot research in papers but in fact it is not able apply and sometime i dont understand why do we have to do it?

[Ardan17]

The Sun is our most powerful source of energy. Sunlight or solar energy can be used for home heating, lighting and cooling and other buildings, power supply, water heater, and other industrial processes, most renewable energy comes either directly or indirectly from the sun. For example, the heat from the sun causes the wind to blow, contributes to the growth of trees and other plants used for biomass energy, and plays an important role in the evaporation and rainfall cycles that are the source of water energy.

In fact, it is very unfortunate that our world is on its way to extinction. After all, people simply do not think about their future. The planet becomes polluted, we breathe, and we continue to do all the same. The most interesting thing is that nature was given to us clean and untouched, and we made a garbage dump from it.

[bitcoinking11]

Cleaner energy is very important for the future. Large areas of the world that are now highly inhabited will become uninhabitable, if pollution is not checked.

Research is needed because we need to discover different materials that can provide better efficiency. It's hard to apply because it's just the start of it but if has promising outcomes, it could be applied just like any other research before them. For example the oled tv displays are just research back in time and it has provided the brand's with better efficiency and colour.

It just seems that there are no people interested in how to help the world knowing that we are destroying our planet. I wanted to have a healthy discussion about what can we do even if it's a little thing to help the environment. 

Renewable energy was badly needed in my country.  Knowing how polluted our earth is,  we as human being must do something and that is to use other ways to conserve energy.  Having the guts to make a change and use renewable energy is a step we may all take part.  Let us protect our world by using this and generating more ways to make use of other items in generating energy that will not only help the people but our planet as well.

Technology is improving every day and the solar panels and windpower turbines are getting cheaper. May be within the next 10-15 years, we will be able to generate most of the electricity from renewable sources, such as solar, wind, tidal, and Uranium. But I still don't know when we will be able to replace the gasoline run vehicles with electric vehicles.

Hopefully, it won't be too late for our world and I hope that it could recover. The continuous addition of CO2 gases in the atmosphere won't stop and it will still continue but with the help of emerging technologies, it could really be slowed down and hoping that it could stop the worsening of the environment completely.
