renewable energies

Electric and Hybrid cars will reduce the West’s dependence on Middle East oil. Can this really happen? And has anyone brought an electric/hybrid car just to reduce their own demand on Mid east oil?

Ok I am doing this thing for school on solar energy and I want to know how much it is to install a solar panel. If you give me how much it is for a house maybe I could tell how much it is for a school. If you know how much it is for a school that would be greatly appreciated.

I know there are some prototypes and some are already produced in Japan but how come there were not here first? Diesel has better mpg than petrol and though it would seem logal to produce diesel hybrid cars..Is there a technological problem or..?

How do plants compare to solar cells specifically, when it comes to collecting the Sun’s Radiat Energy (photons)??

Just wanted to see what people think of the hybrid cars. Especially now that so many car companies are offering them.

how easy is it to get solar energy and where can u get it. i will give the first person with great info who i will choose as best answer

I’ve heard that having Solar Cells installed on your roof can run you about 18,000, but you can get a 1% fixed loan to cover this. Is this true? Also, can you realistically power all your appliances, lighting, basically all your electrical needs with a system like this? Can you operate an electrical heating system as well? I know all cases are different, but on average, what is your experience?

How much human energy is need to produced solar energy?
How much engery will solar power produced?
How much do we save from changing to solar power?
What are some benefit in changing to solar power?
How to install the panel?
Can solar energy provide enough energy for a whole school with the enrollment of 650 kids?
Is solar energy reliable?
How much will it cost to install the panels?
Do we need to have certified people install or check the panel?
Does it have any negative affect?
What happen if the solar panel fails?
Do we get reimbursed from the energy provider if we don’t use the energy?

Since Hybrid cars use a lot less Gasoline.

I have a test tomorrow and this question came in my mind because most of the books say it about solar energy but there are many who say it as light energy also. Even Wikipedia has it that the chlorophyll uses the light energy and I found no mention of solar energy in it.
Help please!!!
