Solar Energy Cheaper than Coal

admin — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 07:22:08 +0000

Solar energy produced by International Automated Systems, Inc. is now a practical alternative to coal. A revolutionary bladeless turbine enables new solar pods to produce solar power at a lower cost than coal, and free of emissions. Green energy has arrived! Utah’s Neldon Johnson has constructed a working prototype in Salem Utah, and full production is soon to begin. Stock Symbol: IAUS.

Disaster Power Home Repair: Here’s the Deal

admin — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 07:22:07 +0000

For the Honda Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Video contest, we explain how to do low-cost home repair in event of a man-made or natural disaster like an earthquake or a Hurricane Katrina to have RENEWABLE, off-the-grid, electrical power from the sun and human energy to provide light, TV, radio communications, DVD and computing power–even creature comforts like cold drinks!

One oth the items we showcase is the Nebo Tools http://www.nebotools.com wind-up flashlight model #5027

If you look at America’s energy usage, 50% of it is our cars/trucks and 25% our industries and the last 25% is used to power our homes. In the month of September 2008, Americans citizens decided to tell the oil companies to go F-off and drove 15 BILLION less miles and this drove down the gas prices from $4 a gallon to just $2….hmmmm methinks if we would stop being consumer doormats we could actually force the greedy corporations to do the right things….If we build upon this emergency solar/human power package as a start, we can eliminate 1/4 of our nation’s entire energy use by EVERY HOME being completely powered off the grid; its just a matter of getting more panels coupled with 12V and low-wattage 110V AC devices tackling difficult tasks like air conditioning and running microwave ovens for food preparation. Heating water should be done by direct sun heating and/or natural gas.

2 kW System * 1600 kWh/kW-year = 3200 kWh (267 kWh per month)
1600 kWh/kW-year * .13 (kWh rate) * 2 kW System = $416 per year
2 kW = $12,000 (2,000 Federal Tax Credit) + (Federal No Interest Loans)
10,000 Cost / 416 Yearly Savings = 24 Years until the savings is greater than the initial cost
