Wind in NH New Hampshire produces 17 tons of Carbon Dioxide every year

Wind Energy produces ZERO

In 2009 New Hampshire Consumed 229 BTUs per person ( British Thermal Unit(s) )

BTU is a unit of energy equivalent to 1055 joules (heat value) \

Joule= the unit of energy, equal to the work done by a force of one Newton when its point of application moves through a distance of one meter in the direction of the force

Average American uses 308 BTUs

,House Bill 0873, signed into law May 2007 by New Hampshire Governor John Lynch. The “Electric Renewable Portfolio Standard” will require electric utilities to utilize solar power for 0.3% of their electrical power generation by the year 2014. The law also requires that by 2025, 16% of the state’s electricity needs must be supplied by other renewable energy sources

Win-Win“Wind can generate as much as

20% of our electricity by 2030

and create a quarter-million jobs

in the process – jobs that pay well

and provide good benefits. It’s a

win-win. It’s good for the

environment; it’s great for the

economy.”

 

President Barack Obama

Earth Day 2009

Benefits!Solar power is a renewable resource. This means that we are not in danger of depleting its reserves. Though it may disappear behind clouds momentarily and is unavailable at night, it generally returns in full force.

•Solar power is non-polluting. Unlike oil, solar power usage does not emit any greenhouse gases, nor does the acquisition of it harm ecosystems through spills or dredging. This is probably one of the primary advantages of solar power.

•The energy and heat from the sun is free. Once solar panels or solar thermal collectors are set up, there are no electrical expenses necessary to power them

The sun generates more than 10,000 times the amount of energy the entire world consumes annually

The FactsOne 1.8 MW wind turbine at a

decent site can produce over

4,7 million units of electricity

every year, that is enough to

ensure the annual needs of

over 1,000 households, or to

run a computer for over 1,620

years.

My ProposalInvest in Wind Power and

Solar and create a system for

New Hampshire that lowers

the energy bills our citizens

pay every month and create a

greener granite state

Purchase the solar trees for

our cities and sell to the grid

So when is the light gonna go off in your head!

We HAVE to be green

That or…. We destroy the

planet…

Including New Hampshire
