Document Summary
Non fossil fuels: renewable part of the energy, biofuel, hydro electric, wind, solar etc, text book really good. Read: hydroelectric power, 80% of all the renewable energy is coming from hydroelectric power, problem with hydro-electric power is: it is largely capped out (used out). It is large part of the global warming. Rising air that gives rise to a higher pressure, drives this circulation around for a few km: it is a very gentle breeze. There are no of reasons why you try to put wind turbines offshore. You take up some of the sea breeze coming in. the other reason is that the wind closer to the ground is slower than the winds further off. Because the ground has distractions which slows down the wind. Wind gets less dragged in ocean than in the ground. ix. There is a lot of thought into where the turbines are going to be kept: c. on have some wind power. xi.
