Solar Energy can be obtained in several ways. The most commonly known is Electro-voltaic Cells which through a reaction in the silicon structure of the panels creates electricity. The generation of heat from direct or reflected sunlight is the other common method.

 

Solar hot water systems have been in existence for a very long time and

 

Electro-voltaic cells are the most polluting of the green energy devices because of the elements they are made from and the manufacturing methods used to create them. Like all green energy sources they are not perfect and require manufacturing, construction and dismantling.

Group says wind energy an economic boon in Ohio
By JOHN McCARTHY Associated Press Writer April 24 2008 COLUMBUS, Ohio
-" Environmental advocates are seeing dollar signs in the hundreds of windmills they envision sprouting on the Ohio landscape, thanks to the commitment to renewable resources in the state's new energy plan.
Gov. Ted Strickland proposed that Ohio utilities be required to have 12.5 percent of their total power portfolio come from renewable resources, such as wind, solar and water, by 2025. The House version of Strickland's bill spells out the percentages each utility must achieve each year, beginning in 2009, when they must draw 0.25 percent from renewables.
The Senate on Wednesday unanimously approved changes the House made, sending it to Strickland, who likely will sign it next week.........................................A study last year by the advocacy group Environment Ohio found that if the state's utilities' use of wind power jumped to 20 percent by 2020, it would create the equivalent of 3,100 jobs and would put about $8.2 billion into Ohio's economy. Property owners also would profit by leasing their land for wind farms, the group said............................"
