Disadvantages 1)Wind power needs a lot of land. 2)wind power is a hard subtences to get in a town where they do not get that much wind . 3)Towns that do not get this much wind that is needed for the turbines .


How much energy does a 5000 population town use?

Typical power consumption varies widely, depending on the income, and the climate (since much energy is used for heating). Typical power consumption in the USA seems to be about 2 kW PER HOUSEHOLD, in the long-term average. You can make an estimate about the number of households (perhaps 4 or 5 people per household), and base your calculations on that.Note that the above is about POWER usage. The actual ENERGY used will be the power, multiplied by the time period considered.


How is energy used by using an electric stove to boil some water?

The electric stove is plugged into a wall, and that plug in the wall is connected to other energy sources coming from the ground, like those energy plants you probably see around your town that are gated. The energy is coming from that, and the energy is electricity also.. ? I may sound a little off, but there's a start to your answer.

Why isn't wind energy used to produce all your energy?

Because a wind turbine doesn't necessarily produce enough energy and is at the mercy of the wind. No wind = no power so really it's an illogical way to power a house or town.

What are the downfalls of adding a nuclear power plant to a small town?

Nuclear power is very safe and very clean. There are four potential drawbacks: if the small town is in an earthquake prone area and the nuclear power plant is not adequately designed for it; if the nuclear waste is disposed of locally; an act of terrorism causes an uncontrolled emission of radiation; and, the reduced viability of "renewal" energy production. In terms of lives lost compared to energy generated, nuclear power has caused fewer accidental deaths than all other major sources of energy generation.


Life of arturo alcaraz?

Doctor Arturo Alcaraz (March 21, 1916 â?? March 10, 2001) was a volcanologist who specialized in geothermal energy development. In 1967, Arturo Alcaraz and his team powered an electric light bulb using steam-powered electricity with the power coming from a volcano near the town of Tiwi. This marked the first geothermal power generated in the Philippines.
