Renewable Energy Q&A: what are the new and improved ways to renewable energy resources?

Question by : what are the new and improved ways to renewable energy resources?
new and improved ways of working with renewable energy resources and bringing them to the front so that they are primary sources of energy for the US and not merely reduced to being "alternative" energy sources.

Answer by Alex Volfson
So you’re wondering what can be done to increase the prevalence of “alternative” energy sources from the small fraction they occupy now to 100%.

I think we already have all the mechanical technology necessary for this: wind turbines, solar panels, water turbines, etc. We even have technology you hadn’t thought of as energy technology: designing homes to get their heat directly from sunlight that comes through the south-facing windows. Or even, designing homes to use less energy.

It doesn’t look like the federal gov’t is going to get us to use renewable energy b/c they’re in the pocket of the fossil fuel industry. Community action, though, where individuals come together and support each other in making systemic changes, will bring renewable energy to the forefront.
