Alternative Energy Solar Power

I am giving a presentation on alternative energy and need to find a good source of statistics, graphs, charts, diagrams etc to use. specifically, i will be referring to hydroelectric, wind and solar power.

thanks for your help in...

A graph of how much revenue oil barons and the refining process would lose in relation the % of renewable energy as a total of energy production would be the most pertinent in modern society.

Yes we think that you huge businesses...

could somebody please give me a good explanaton of the process illustrated...I need it for a presentation but I don't really understand the whole charge controller/inverter/battery...

Well your link is broken, but if you are talking about charge controllers and inverters then you probably want an explanation of how solar works.

Basically the solar photovoltaic panels create electricity (ie: electrons moving due...

o What are some challenges with using and managing wind power, solar energy, and biomass fermentation as alternative renewable
energy resources?
o Name at least one other renewable energy resource.
o Include a response to the...

Okay, I don't think anyone's taken this seriously yet, so...

How about, hydro-electric, geothermal steam, wind turbines, augmentative passive solar, such as water heating and daylighting (somwhat different then solar lighting, or...

Is it possible, or has there been a study done, on running a car off of alternative energy sources, besides solar and biofuels, such as Geothermal Energy; Tidal Energy; and Wind Energy?
Thanks.
That's logical. Just had to check.

Solar is not practical. Geothermal is not possible for a car. Wind is not practical either. Tidal energy is not possible. Any internal combustion engine will run on propane / methane / natural gas (they are all basically the same thing) with very...

I'd like a source like a .org, CNN, reliable news source, ect. please!

I disagree with Bonzi to say the least. Sen Obama's plan to tax oil companies will only increase our dependence of imported oil. This action will i no way benefit the consumer. Just the government, the suppliers will simply raise prices to cover...

I was recently discussing with someone the possibility of the government installing a cap-and-trade system on American companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I said that would be a baby step in the right direction, however I think we need a...

One of the reasons this is difficult is that companies do a lot of different things that produce greenhouse gasses (and so do individuals).
Just to name a few:
- Heat buildings and furnaces
- Operate many, many different kinds of
