Toronto — New industrial wind turbines in Ontario will have to be at least 550 metres away from the nearest homes under new regulations announced today.

The restrictions apply to projects with only five wind turbines or less, and the residential setbacks will increase with the number and sound level of additional turbines.

The regulations for the province’s Green Energy Act will also prohibit large-scale solar panel projects from prime agricultural lands.

Premier Dalton McGuinty announced the feed-in-tariff — the amount paid to producers of renewable energy — will range from 10.3 cents per kilowatt hour to 80.2 cents.

The feed-in-tariff is designed to encourage large and small scale energy production, with the highest rate reserved for residential solar rooftop projects of 10 kilowatts or less.

There will also be what the government calls a “price adder” to encourage aboriginal communities to develop alternative energy supplies and sell any excess power back to the grid.

The transition to electric cars has been slow and not without growing pains. Since the conception of the internal combustion engine, manufacturers have put most of their resources and research into developing vehicles that feast on fossil fuels. Luckily, increased environmental awareness has led to an automotive renaissance. In recent years, the overwhelming success of Toyota’s Prius hybrid has shown other vehicle makers that the time is right to switch to electric.

In 2007, General Motors announced the development of its Chevy Volt – a car that is expected to get 230 miles to the gallon in the city within the next few years.  But what about those of us who don’t have the financial thrust to afford a brand spanking new electric car? Electric car conversion is a realistic possibility for many people who want to improve their fuel efficiency while keeping an eye toward environmental concerns.

This recently published video is an amazing photo shoot in time lapse photography to show what is happening with global warming and the effect it is having on our systems as well as the extreme importance that we focus on more renewable energy conservation.

Energy Stuff Online  is dedicated to providing affordable renewable energy solutions which help eliminate our country’s dependence on foreign supplied oil, and contribute to fighting the effects of rising energy costs. We offer our clients the opportunity to produce clean, cheap energy alternatives while making a positive impact on the world.

Our mission is to create a network of alternative energy conscious individuals who are interested in making a difference in our communities, our environment, and our economy through “green living”.  Included in this goal is to continually deliver useful energy related information intended to both educate and motivate our customers to make small changes to how they think about and use energy.

Our long term objective is to help convert over 1 million homes to a renewable energy resource and to encourage nationwide energy independence.

Energy from Moving Air
How Uneven Heating of Water and Land Causes Wind

Wind is simply air in motion. It is caused by the uneven heating of the Earth’s surface by the sun. Because the Earth’s surface is made of very different types of land and water, it absorbs the sun’s heat at different rates.

The Daily Wind Cycle
During the day, the air above the land heats up more quickly than the air over water. The warm air over the land expands and rises, and the heavier, cooler air rushes in to take its place, creating wind. At night, the winds are reversed because the air cools more rapidly over land than over water If you were to have made a wind generator, with all the easy instructions and videos on home made wind power you too could be saving and watching how the wind involves your own property.

In the same way, the atmospheric winds that circle the earth are created because the land near the Earth’s equator is heated more by the sun than the land near the North and South Poles.

Wind Energy for Electricity Generation
Today, wind energy is mainly used to generate electricity. Wind is a renewable energy source because the wind will blow as long as the sun shines.

Of all the energy sources in use today, solar energy possibly has the most potential for solving the world’s long term energy problems. Solar energy is the cleanest form of renewable energy; producing zero carbon emissions, and provides over 35,000 times the total amount of energy that humans use every day.

Many applications exist for harnessing this energy for home use such as heating and cooling, lighting, and even complete solar home solutions. As the price of crude oil escalates, and the demand for alternative energy sources increase, advancements in technology and government programs are making it easier to learn how to build solar power and more affordable to install solar energy equipment in the home.

What is PV & how does it work? PV stands for photovoltaic. Photo = Light and Voltaic = Electricity.
A solar cell converts light to electricity. A solar cell is made of silicon. Computer chips are made of this same
material.

Basically, when light strikes the surface of a solar cell some of it is absorbed into the silicon. This light energy bumps the
electrons loose and causes energy to flow. By going to Energy Books Online, you can learn in detail how to do this

By packaging approximately 36 solar cells together a solar panel or a solar module is created. When you have more then one solar panels
you create a solar array.

Homemade solar panels are easy to make with the right information and a few common tools. You can also learn how to make wind power with homemade wind turbines to work in conjunction with your home-generated solar power. We have all the books and information you need to learn how to have your own sources of power and save money. Maybe someday you’ll even live entirely off-grid and be able to sell energy back to the utility companies with the help of EnergyBooksOnline, it may be possible to do all of this and more.

You can build a Solar & Wind Power System for your house and cut your home energy costs by 60% or even 95%. Now I save around $90 each month (68%) on our electric bill. The extra money each month is nice!

And the best part is how easy it is to produce your own energy. There are step-by-step guides that walk you through the process quickly.

o my amazement we had assembled a fully functioning (and money saving) solar system in just half a day (a fun weekend project for the kids too). We picked up all the parts we needed at the local hardware store and the total bill came to only $187.42 (I recouped that cost in just the first 2 months!). For someone who has a hard time changing the sparkplug in my lawnmower, following the instructions in the DIY Solar Power Books was amazingly simple and easy to do, this is definately the system I would suggest.
