Readers Respond on "The Power of Renewables"

[admin]

Bigger Is Better? I am concerned that, like most of our renewable efforts recently, Matthew L. Wald’s overview of renewable energy technology, “ The Power of Renewables ,” is oriented toward projects made by large corporations. This strategy will further entrench vested energy interests, when energy should be diffused to the general public. Windmills on your roof need not generate anywhere near the number of volts required by big windmills, which need to be matched and phased to the grid. And a rooftop windmill’s output can be stored in batteries or large condensers that can be used as insulation. We should not miss an opportunity to capitalize on the ingenuity of individuals worldwide to provide local solutions.
