When you think about the benefits of using renewable energy for your home, are you focusing on yourself, or on the entire planet? There are advantages on a personal level as well as a planetary one. From the personal level, there is the obvious benefit of money. It is possible to sometimes generate more energy than you need, and sell it to the power company causing your meter to run backwards, reducing your bill.
On a global perspective you can’t help but think of wars brought on by the dire need for gasoline. Amazingly, national security hangs in the balance of this addiction for fossil fuels. Solar based energy powering our homes could prevent or curtail wars. If there is a bigger benefit than that, it is difficult to imagine.
Improving the quality of the air for our grandchildren and their grandchildren is another win that would come about is we all went green at home. The quality of life would sky rocket as many diseases and chronic illness would subside. Besides the obvious benefit of the quality and longevity of the lives of countless individuals, there is a tremendous personal and national financial bonus stemming from this. The health care costs saved from the illnesses avoid would be mind boggling and the repercussions would be felt everywhere.
Nuclear power plants release radiation even when they are working properly and there is always the risk of catastrophe as well as dangers of storing the waste. The first nuclear plants in years are being discussed. If we could power our homes, the green way, it would assure that there would never be anyone who could say with a straight face that we need to build more nuclear facilities.
Think back to your high school physics class; specifically thermodynamics. The first law of thermodynamics told us that the amount of energy stays the same. It can not be created or destroyed. The second law, the entropy law says that it can change forms, and the natural progression is to change into a less available form. Oil based energy is like accelerating the entropy law many times over.
Renewable energy, on the other hand, seems almost like a reprieve from entropy, an escape from the law, almost. It allows us to tap into the energy flow and make use of it, without running out of usable energy. Whether we power our houses, directly from the sun, the flow and movement of water, wind, or geothermal forces, the benefits of using renewable energy for your home are local and global, immediate and future, health and wealth, simple and profound.
