Abstract+

THIS IS OLD, A REVISED ESSAY CAN BE SEEN ABOVE!



The whole reason for my paper was to examine the results and uses of Solar Power vs. Wind Power energy solutions for alternative energy solutions. The paper also illustrates that we need to reform our process of obtaining energy from our carbon emitting plants to clean and renewable options, without these new options we would soon face the doom of overpopulating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. The problem is finding which options are best in the given situations. My Approach to solving that problem was stating the requirements for each what it needs, what has to be done, when to use it, and so on. By learning which options are best to use, we may develop a more efficient environment. Unfortunately, there is no clear cut answer to this question as each need very reliant climate and weather to be able to produce energy. Wind generated energy needs a lot of wind, Solar generated energy needs a lot of sun. Placing them in regions that do not suit the environment does not economical sense. Unfortunately wind generated power cannot be produced in residential zones due to its audible noise from the generators turbine spinning to produce power.
Further through the paper I discuss the possibilities of using solar power. Unfortunately solar generated street signs is too unrealistic with the cost of each solar panel and the reliability of the different weather patterns. Theft of solar panels was one of the biggest cons from using solar panels to generate electricity for street lights and street signs. Although that idea does not work, using solar panels to cool medicine such as vaccines is a viable option for developing countries such as Africa where electricity grids are not always readily available in the area treatments need to be performed in.

"Solar Energy is also being looked into providing energy for developing regions where energy grids are hard to come by or economically or physically unfeasible."
