Nancy asks…

How much does it cost to install solar cells in a typical American house, and when will it be paid back?

I am very concerned about global warming, and when I grow up (I’m fourteen), I plan on helping to solve the world’s problems by looking into environmental research (college course options would be nice to include in your answers) and I’m wondering currently how much it costs to install solar cells and how long it will take to pay off.

Solar Panel Question…?

I would like to know if I had a mobile kitchen could I power it from solar panels mounted atop the vehicle (truck).(to power electric kitchen equipment, i.e. stove, deep fryer.), instead of propane…could I possibly connect the solar panels to a battery to save my generated electricity? If solar panels would not be enough power could a small windmill suffice…?

Joseph asks…

Comparing and contrasting wind vs. solar power?

I have to write a paper on something in english and I figured this would be a good topic. So I need help from people to tell me what they know about wind and solar power and any other things related. Any kind of information would be helpful. If you know a scientist or someone who does research on this kind of stuff then it would be great if you could also tell me their names because i have to add some sources and I think an expert on the subject would be perfect! Even a teacher would be good. If you get anything from like a magazine or an article of some kind please tell me the title of the article. (it’s fine if you don’t know any of the peoples names or articles title) Thanks.

Your Questions About Solar Generators For The Home

Robert asks…

Senior citizens would you have a generator if you lived in an area that had debilitating weather?

I don’t understand why some of these people do not have generators where the weather can get wild. Either too hot or too cold.
My son lives in his own home in SC and he got a huge generator when he moved in in case of outages. He also got it large enough to run his home and the people next door as they were having stair- step children and needed to have lots of milk around he thought.
Patti: it depends on the size of the generator and the appliance.

Mandy asks…

Should Obama call solar the “energy of the future” when the first patent for solar cells was granted in 1883?

12 years before the first patent for the gasoline powered automobile. Seems like someone should’ve been able to turn this into a viable energy source in the intervening 125 years.
Max – Wow, I guess so. A difference of well over a century, and counting.
Greg – Extending your “Genghis Khan” logic, Obama’s solar initiatives should be of great benefit by around the year 2681.

I’ve built a working time machine, so plan on heading back to the early 20th century, either to the UK or a large US city.

Do it yourself Solar powered transportation?

I want to buy or build a tricyle that is solar powered. I don’t need to go very long distances, but without a car, it’s difficult. I want a tricycle because I want to add one of those bike carseats for my 6 year old to ride with me and I thought it would be better balanced and safer if the seat was mounted in between the two back wheels instead of me trying to balance us two on these Georgia hills.

I want Solar power to give me a little kick on the road for at least a mile or two when I choose.

What do you think? Any tips, ideas, or facts to give me? Do you know how I would go about doing this without paying as much as a used car?

Serious answers only! Thanks in advance!
