Is Alternative Energy Potent Enough?
One of the most aggressive issues is the potency of alternative energy. In other words, will it be powerful enough to ensure that power and energy are brought to all of those that need it, even when the demand is sky high. Air conditioners, the longer, darker nights of winter time, and the chronic high demands of industry can pose a threat to the consistency issues.
Geographical considerations also complicate the matter, as there are factors that can come into play that make the answer to biggest question obsolete from region to region. What might work in one area may very well not in another. Wind is plentiful along the ocean, at least until you reach June, July, and August. At this point there is the option for sun power yet many wonder how cost effective it would be to have dual services running from a single area of generation.
Of course, this is also a political issue as much as it is an environmental issue. While candidates are now starting to create platforms that include things like alternative energy sources, progress has been slowed for many reasons.
First, try finding two politicians that can agree on renewable or alternative power sources and their plan for execution. Second, there is a limited knowledge regarding the initial ability to support the power demand. In the early stages it may very well be a doubling up of power sources, one traditional and one alternative, in order to test the systems and make sure that everything is moving forward without massive hiccups.
Some suggest giving the power to the people, literally. If each household became eligible for a significant tax credit for taking themselves off the power grid then eventually the government could start to mandate that consumers become responsible for making their own electricity through alternative energy resources. The biggest flaw with this issue is that it leaves the renters of the world without much power to stay safe and get clean.
Despite the slow progress it is important to note that there are dedicated champions for alternative consumption and that the necessary changes are right around the corner. With increasing technological advancements and serious drive, a balanced science that supports and protects nature is in the works.
The new and improved floating wind turbine is a perfect example of the progress and the direction we are heading. This wind turbine is now aptly making itself useful by connecting to the power grid. It is hoped that by studying these improvements we can all look forward to life saving alternative energy that can produce the necessary power for humanity.
