HI my name is mike and i ask OBAMA and ohio state govenor about proiveding grants for home owners for solar ?

HI my name is michael and i am a part of an organization for free energy . And we would like to know . If Obama has given any thought on giving out grants . Or some financial support for home owners to install solar or wind power . So they can be energy independent . We have ask the new ohio state govenor if he was going to give out grants . Or some financial support we have not heard from him in over a week now . And it was the old govenor who used the tax payers money . To make the govenors mansion solar powered and then received an awarded for doing this . So if something like this would happen for the home owner . Do you know how many new jobs there woud be in the united states . but all we hear is we need to spend millions on this and millons on that but not a thing for the public . And it is all for the energy companies . And the ohio state govenor is going to give the energy companies $11.9 million of tax payers money . To up grade the power plant to burn dirty coal . We would like to get your response on this , So we can post it on the web page along with the ohio govenors responses and the house of representatives and congress men reponses . Like to here from you
Thank you
michael

Would you invest in solar electric for your home or business?

I am considering starting a solar/wind energy business. I would like to know how many people would really consider installing solar panels and/or a wind generator on their home or business.

If a complete system is too costly, would you consider a battery back-up system to run essential items in you home or business for when the power drops out? This would consist of 4-12 batteries, a couple of solar panels and/or a wind generator. This would operate items such as lights, well pump, refrigerator, radio or TV, telephones, and computers.

Would you consider starting a small solar array (4-6 panels) and adding panels to it when you have extra money to spend on them?

Please give me your feedback on what you think of “GREEN” energy and if you think it is the future or just a fad.
Good answers so far. In response to f100_supersabre, A 4 battery system is not much. It all depends on what you will operate and how long. The more batteries the better. About the telephone, yes they are powered by the telephone line but businesses usually have multiple lines with a switching station that needs electricity to operate. Most homes now only have cordless phones which require electricity. If you keep a corded phone in your home this would be a non factor. When it comes to the size panels and wind generator that is relevant to your power consumption. What might be good for your house may be too big or too small for your neighbor.

Keep the answers coming.

Are there any good active solar websites and if so where are they?

I’m evaluating whether or not to install active solar and all I can find are solar cheerleading or scam sites. I want to know about how the solar DC is converted to AC and integrated with the regular electrical system in the home, safety considerations for the DC wiring that goes from the cells on the south side of the roof to wherever the converter is and that sort of thing.

I am very familiar with the physics of the solar cells themselves, I don’t need to know about that, I don’t need to know about batteries and I don’t want to hear about wind power. Just solar. Thanks in advance for your kind attention.

How to you contribute to the electircal grid?

I was fantasizing about buying stuff to convert my home to solar power, because its would be a fun project and i could potentially make money off the excess energy i produce(it is what i was told)

anywho, a thought came to mind that to my knowledge grid power is AC, and that in order to contribute to the grid, the power you contribute would also have to be AC.

In order to effectively contribute, wouldn’t the wave pattern of your energy have to be perfectly sequenced with and identical to the grids wave pattern and frequency? otherwise you would either create a lot of heat, or lose an efficiency in the amount of energy you transfer to the grid.

Surely this is feasible, but how do you do it? Is there some kind of special frequency monitoring/altering module you can install?

Or do power inverters sometimes come equipped with some kind of feature that monitors grid frequency to ensure that the output frequency is identical?

Im just guessing, i wouldn’t be surprised if theres some way more obvious/easier method.

A story idea in three sentences, and then some, your opinion?

Michael Salvani is kidnapped while walking home from his girlfriends house. Fifty years later a group of wandering teenagers find his sleeping cybertronic body asleep in an abandoned research facility, and accidentally turn him on. Together the kids make their way to the West Coast, battling raiders, rouge military officers, and other various dangerous foes as the make their way across a nuclear wasteland.

What’s your opinion? Now after you write done what you think here’s a bit of extra information.

The story starts off in the 80′s. Michael is a senior in high school with only two more weeks left until graduation. He’s kidnapped because of a medical trial he signed up for was really a ploy to find people who were compatible with the drugs used to combine human flesh with mechanical parts. Michael was compatible. He then has several body parts replaced with mechanical ones as well as other computer programming installed into his body. Such as the ability to access internet networks and hook ups for things like computer screens, a usb port, etc. When he makes the change his body’s biological functions basically come to a stand still. In other words he stops aging. He also has a device planted that increases his body’s ability to heal itself. He still needs to eat, sleep, etc. His mechanical parts run on solar power. After the change he is forcibly employed by the government as sort of a super human computer. He helps with classified missions and spy work. He continues his work until 2029 when he is replaced by a completely cybertronic and artificially intelligent robot. Michael is then retired to a research facility that studies his mechanical parts in hopes of creating artificial limbs for amputees that don’t affect the functions of the body. During this time he’s put to sleep, like how you put a computer to sleep. He’s alive, but not functioning. 2033 rolls around and nuclear war beaks about between the US and an undetermined country. The country is bombarded with nuclear bombs turning it into a wasteland.

The story would not go over Michael’s time in service but would start with him being kidnapped and skip to the kids breaking into the facility with the events after his kidnapping being explained in bits over the length of the story by Michael himself.

So the facility where Michael is stored is nearly completely destroyed. He is the only survivor but he’s stuck on sleep mode so he is unaware of what is going on. In 2035 a group of wanderers breaks into the abandoned facility in search of food and shelter. When one of them accidentally trips a switch that turns Michael on. After a cautious meeting Michael joins along with the group on their quest towards the west coast where civilization is still intact. But along the way the run into several enemies. This includes raiders who try to steal their food and kidnap the women, rouge soldiers who use their position to abuse refugees, and worst of all a vindictive cult leader bent on forcing the group to join his community of brain washed refugees. The story would end with the kids defeating the antagonist of the story but not on the West Coast yet. That would be for another tale. Michael would grow by coming to terms with what he’s become and gaining back his love for life. It’d be an adventure story filled with gun fights and car chases, with a little government conspiracy on the side and a dash of romance for good measure. The main focus would be the kids though. Who aren’t really kids but young adult. I just like calling ‘em that.

Now that you know that, what do you think now?
Oh, and it’d be first person POV by Michael. If that makes a difference.

And I’d like to hear both of your opinions from just the three sentences and then again after the lengthier description.
I’m basing the idea of his mechanical parts on the government conspiracy idea that they kept certain technologies secrets for years before releasing them to the public. And his mechanical parts were also upgraded over the forty four years of his service to keep him useful. It took that long to get the artificial intelligence advanced enough that it was equivalent to the diversity of human thinking.
Ah, thank you for the grammar correction. I must’ve missed it when I went over this. I can get a little lost when typing. And I’ve never seen Robo-Cop. Maybe I should.

“Michael Salvani is kidnapped while walking home from his girlfriends house. Fifty years later a group of teenagers wandering the Midwest find his sleeping cybertronic body in an abandoned research facility, and accidentally turn him on. Together the kids make their way to the California safe zone, battling raiders, rouge military officers, and other dangerous foes as they make their way across a nuclear wasteland.” Better? I eventually plan on changing out “Midwest” for a more specific place like I did with “West Coast” and “California”. And I threw in “safe zone” because in the story all the people living in areas that have been attacked are being sent there.

The weird thing is I haven’t spent much time thinking about it. I was listening to an 80′s channel on the radio when this love song came on. When it fa
Add desolate before Midwest to the above.
