Geothermal Energy - the NEW fracking?? : Eco Videos

Well I am always on the
search for good info on
Alternative Energy Sources. Today, I
come across a really
excellent information that talks
about Eco Energy Sources from a different
point of view. Today’s new article is titled Geothermal Energy – the NEW fracking?? .

Geothermal Energy — the NEW Fracking? (watch in HD to see better) Sorry it’s 30 min’s. It really is a bit of an eye opener though if you watch the whole thing. Gasland (Fracking) has some new competition. One pollutes, the other destroys. Video covers increased seismic activity at the Geysers in Sonoma — and the resulting investigations have left me shocked to the impact of Geothermal electricity and how the power companies produce it. Fricken-Fracking of another type!

Solar Energy - Off-Grid Solar Power/Electric/Photovoltaics Tour/Details with Backup Generator : Eco Videos

As you know I am non stop on the
move for interesting info on
Alternative Energy Sources. Now, I
come across a really
nice piece of content that talks over Eco Energy Sources from a different
perspective. Today’s find is titled Solar Energy – Off-Grid Solar Power/Electric/Photovoltaics Tour/Details with Backup Generator .

This is a tour with details of an off-grid solar power installation I worked on a few years ago. I go over a system diagram, show the system itself, and then talk about the safety features including breakers/fuses, lightning arresters, and bonding equipment to ground. This system includes 2100watts of solar panels, a 10kW diesel generator, two Outback FM-80 charge controllers, two Outback inverters, an Outback Mate, a Xantrex TMA-500 battery status monitor, and 6 4volt, 1104amphour Surrette/Rolls lead acid deep cycle batteries. For another installation I recorded by Ottawa Solar Power using a lot of the same hardware, see this video “Off-Grid Solar Installing – Day in the Life”: youtu.be Thanks to Ottawa Solar Power (ottawasolarpower.com) for allowing me to use this installation in this off-grid solar power video.

Video Rating: 4 / 5
