Understanding The Benefits Of Using Renewable Energy For Your Home

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.

From a more grand point of view, the obvious subject that comes to mind is the wars, that we all know have a lot to do with oil. Mighty nations allow their very security to be threatened by this dependence on crude oil. Green energy handling our home power needs has the potential to stop and prevent wars. Can there be a larger motivation to go green than that?

The reduction in air pollution would be massive. Millions of cancer cases and other diseases would simply be prevented. Life quality would soar with better health for so many. Future generations would also reap the rewards. In addition to the quality of life improvements would come a staggeringly large fiscal benefit on the personal and national levels. It costs a lot of money to take care of patients. The savings created from the lowering cancer and illness rates would boost the economies of every nation.

Of all the ways to create power, nuclear energy is the most insane. If aliens exist they must be laughing at our stupidity. The danger nuclear power plants pose, and the taxpayer subsidies they require, make them a mistake beyond belief. Yet for the first time in decades, the United States is planning on building more. Solar based energy powering our homes would make it obvious that more nuclear plants should never be built.

Try to remember your physics class. Do you recall the 1st law of thermodynamics? It said the amount of energy is a constant. Then the second law, the entropy law said energy changes forms by how we use it, and the natural tendency is to wind down and be less able to be used. Well, when you look at how humans have decided to use our energy, it seems like we went out of the way to make the worse possible use of entropy; or that we even tried to speed it up.

Green energy, though, is almost like a respite, or pause in the entropy law. At the very least, it is an extremely low entropy energy policy that we really need to transition to. Solar based energy can be direct from the sun, derived from the motion of water, or from geothermal activity or wind. No matter what method you choose, the benefits of using renewable energy for your home are felt in your community and your planet, currently and later in time. They affect your well being and your finances. They are easy to understand, yet very deep.
