Distributed home wind turbine outperforms solar panel

Savings from oil and coal importation

Solar does only 20%

Advantages:

1.   Produces 6 kwh 
2.  Cost about $7,000
3.  Lasts 25 years
4.  ROI for only 5 years (more than 10%)
5.  Multi directional.

Downside not many places have wind.

New method of storing energy - TPV - Themo Photovoltaic

Savings from oil and coal importation

Why do we need this?   Hydropower turbines operate at 60% efficiency,   steam  turbine at 30%.  We need more efficient energy generation and storage
 

An energy source melts down tin at passes room with inert gas so that tin does not oxidize.  Then the heat is stored in graphite .  With a large surface area, the heat does not dissipate for months

What do you think?
