Everyone in this world is suffering from pollution these days. The major contribution in spreading this pollution has been added by power generating companies who release their pollutants in air and chemicals in the water. They mostly use liquid especially fossils fuels for power generation. These fossils fuels contain harmful gases and other chemicals which are major threats for the cleanliness of our environment. Also, continuously rising energy prices have compelled people to move towards cost efficient as well as environment friendly alternatives of producing power. Solar panels and wind turbines are the best ways to produce environment friendly and free of cost electricity. One problem which makes them less popular is the initial investment which required for their installation and the maintenance of these devices. So, magnetic generator is the only way left to produce cheap electricity, which is environment friendly also. The procedure through which it generates power is very efficient and less harmful for our surroundings. Unlike solar panels and wind turbines, it does not require a large space. A magnetic electricity generator has no disadvantages or threats...more

The solar PV Value Propostion Solar photovoltaics (PV) offers the U.S. a material source of high-value energy. It is an attractive part of the U.S. energy portfolio for an array of reasons which include customer value, as well as benefits from an environmental, reliability and energy security perspective. The U.S. has pioneered and developed the technology, and public opinion of solar power is extremely favorable. Findings from market research indicate that the American people want solar energy, consistently giving solar energy a 90+% positive rating, the highest rating for any energy option. Further, the United States has considerable energy demand and the manufacturing infrastructure to produce PV systems. The hallmarks of PV's unique value proposition include the following: • Economic Value: the generation of solar electricity coincides with the normal peak demand during daylight hours in most communities. It therefore mitigates peak energy costs, brings total energy bills down, and obviates the need to build as much additional generation and transmission capacity as would be the case without PV. PV combined with efficiency can realize significant economic...more
