Holding A Charge Against Electricity Generating Technologies

By Chris Channing

Our planet is important to us and we keep burning all of the available fossil fuels to create electricity. We also spend many tons of uranium and other radioactive chemicals until they turn into deadly waste and store them in the earth until they deplete. It is great news to hear that other types of electricity generating technologies are in the works and are currently being installed around the world.

The newest technologies in electrical generation involve many different kinds of turbines. New water turbines allow for electricity to be produced with the natural movement of the ocean during the tide rising and falling. This allows for humans to only expend energy installing the turbines while nature creates electrical energy continuously. Energy generated from the natural processes of the earth that do not harm the earth are very beneficial to the entire world. With time, global warming can be reduced.

Solar cells are amazing. They emulate the natural process that plants use to turn the sun's rays into useable energy. The only difference is that instead of producing sugars, we produce straight electricity to power all of our appliances and more. Much advancement in the process of harnessing solar energy as well as the materials used has made solar energy dramatically improve. Also with the help of light focusing lenses that amplify the intensity of the sun onto the solar cells allow for more energy to be absorbed and converted into useable electricity.

The byproducts that nuclear plants produce are very scary. The even scarier part is that they are stored under mountains. What if the mountain was really a dormant volcano? How would scattering millions of tons of molten radioactive debris all through the earth's atmosphere sound? Very bad. With improvements in our electricity generating options, our dependence on nuclear energy will diminish, allowing us to make bad energy sources like these obsolete.

Eventually, there will be a special way to transfer electricity through the air waves. Experiments with helicopters and transfer of energy through microwaves have proven successful in the transference of electrical energy to a ground station. This allows for future of advancements in energy transfer and possible charging capabilities from long distance sources.

Using the same concept of energy transfer, we can efficiently install solar panel arrays in space to collect the sun's rays to provide a near constant energy source. This can be accomplished by different kinds of waves or by a type of middleman vessel that collects the energy at different intervals.

Closing Comments

The future looks bright, and that light is powered by alternative energy sources. This makes it possible to help our planet heal over time and maybe global warming can be stopped or reduced enough to affect our future generations a lot less.
