How much of UK electricity is solar power?
It can be produced directly by the photoelectric effect. This is low-voltage power. For power plants that will produce large amounts of electricity a different technique is used. Mirrors focus the...Thanks for asking, I'm good at 'Green' questions. Solar Power can power almost anything. T.V's Heat Up water. (Like in the shower or something.) Cooker Washing machine lights. You name it! Ask about...(From here, though, I must tell you that it looks like you're better at answeringquestions than you are at reading them. You never came anywhere nearanswering this one. The question asks "How much ...", but you address "How ...".)
What is the main type of energy in the UK?
Our major energy source in the UK is fossil fuels (coal oil and natural gas) which constitutes 2/3rds of our energy production Nuclear and renewable energy such as wind, hydroelectric and solar make up the remaining 1/3.
What are facts about wind energy?
1. The first power generating turbine was constructed in Ohio during the late eighteen-hundreds. According to windpower.org, it had one-hundred and forty blades, and was used to charge batteries. 2. Small turbines can be purchased on line for under $800 dollars. They are also frequently listed at on line auction websites, along with other electricity-generation related equipment and BUTT HOLE 3. Power produced by wind was the only renewable energy type in the United States for which consumption increased from 2000 to 2001. According to PBS, it steadily increased starting in 1998, after a reduction in 1997. 4. This type of power works much the same way as a dynamo, such as a radio with a hand-crank for charging its battery. Instead of a hand turning the dynamo to generate electricity, the wind turns it. 5. A Canadian company has developed a street light which is powered with a battery charged by both a small turbine and a solar panel. According to ecofriend.org, it requires very little maintenance. 6. As of Dec. 2006, Germany far outranks the other European countries in this type of power generation. According to the European Wind Energy Association, Spain ranks second and Denmark third. Romania and Slovakia produce very little. 7. Turbines have a maximum speed they are capable of deriving power from; for example, a 150MPH gust wouldn't release a massive surge of electricity, it would create the same amount of energy as wind at the maximum rate does. 8. Canada's wind power production capacity is almost nineteen-hundred megawatts (Source: Canada Wind Energy Association), which is greater than that of France and nearly equivalent to the U.K. 9· The largest wind turbine in the world is in Hawaii. It stands 20 storey's high and has rotors the size of a football field. 10· Wind is the fastest growing energy source in the world. 11· UK is the windiest country in Europe. There is so much wind, that the whole country could be powered several times by wind power. 12· There is evidence that wind energy was used to propel boats along the Nile river as early as 5000 BC.
What percentage of green energy do you use in the UK?
I would LOVE to answer you question with a lengthy explaination (in which i do in the topic of "video games) but there's one MAJOR setback: I live in Melbourne, which is in Victoria, which is in.... AUSTRALIA!!! LOL... Sorry... But in Australia, the percentage of green energy that I use is.... I have no idea... However, the numbers' aren't REALLY great...
What are the main disadvantages of a wind turbine?
The cost of the turbine and where you will put it. But, all the rest is pretty much good. :)AnswerWind turbines are one of the most expensive forms of energy generation, made affordable only because of enormous subsidies which are then passed on to consumers as elevated energy bills. They only produce a fraction of their rated capacity for most of the time. Their energy output is completely unpredictable. And, in the case of the UK, none is made in the UK, so taxpayers money is used to employ foreign workers to manufacture them and to increase the profits of foreign companies.
Can wind power a factory?
Yes. In some parts of the UK, wind generators power small industrial estates.
When was britain's first wind farm built?

What percentage of electricity in the UK is produced by nuclear power?
19.26 - in 2004
How much steel was produced in the UK in 1981 in thousands of tons?
In 1981, the UK produced around 15 million tons of steel.
Will wind energy produce enough power to solve the UK's energy problems?
Probably not, as we use so much energy. It's a nice idea though!
How the UK make electricity?
The majority of he UK's electricity is generated by coal or gas-fired power stations. We also use nuclear power, wind and wave generators.
What percent of the UK's power comes from wind?
This question is a bit of a tough one to answer, but varies from a range of variables. One of the main ones would have to be certain days give different percentage. Seasons is also one of the big factors to determining the percentage of Uk's wind power. Generally it is estimated between 5.7 to 6.7 gigawatts, percentage wise about 0.347% of the UK's power comes from wind.

How many wind turbines do you need to replace a coal power station in the UK?
Both wind turbines and coal power stations come in different sizes, so there is no quick formula to convert one to the other.
