What universities offer online courses in renewable energy or green related fileds?

I am interested in the renewable energy, green field, etc. And i want to know if there are some universities offering these kind of online courses.

All courses and degrees dealing with "renewable energy" or "green field" without prerequisite degrees in Science or Engineering are bullbleep.

Students need a background in Science or Engineering (preferably Engineering) before they can understand energy issues. Otherwise, graduates of these phony courses just become loud and ignorant shrieking nuisances.

How renewable energy solar power works?

My father is asking me to post a question about this.He is planning to buy an alternative renewable energy resources.Is it true that you will save electricity from alternative home energy solutions? Any suggestions and help on this post is highly appreciated thanks.

You can use renewable energy sources since it can be replenished in a short period of time. A the same time you can help the environment. And the best is it will never run out of sources of renewable energy as long as humans will exist. I found this website it says http://fastfreehomeenergy.com/alternative-energy-home.html "Many people (including myself) have reportedly slashed their monthly electricity bill by up to 80% through the methods mentioned above. If we can do it, so can you.". Just check this out for more details.
I hope i was bale to contribute a bit on your question.

what are your thought on renewable energy?

I would like to know if decreasing the price of renewable energy would increase people to bye it?
and if your know a site that shows some statistics on the prices of renewable energy in new york state.

This is already being done. In most states, there are programs that let you either pay more to get your power from "Green" sources, or take part in massive federal and state subsidy programs to install systems like Solar Power, High Efficiency Appliances, etc. In my state, you can now purchase a complete solar system for almost half the original price installed.

Check out you local electric utility web site for special subsidies. I bet you will be surprised what has been on offer for many years now.

The problem with Solar and Wind is it is still very expensive, even with the subsidies. In my state of Arizona where it is almost ideal conditions for solar power, it still takes about 18-20 years to break even financially, even with the government paying for almost half the initial cost. Be careful. Don’t believe salesmen and so-called "Environmentalists" when looking into these systems. Get the facts. Do your homework. Calculate the real rate of return/payback time.

What percent of renewable energy sources do energy providers use?

I have to give a speech for a class where i have to persuade the audience to vote for a bill which requires all energy providers in the US to have at least certain percentage of its energy source from renewable sources. I need to know how much they use now, so that i have an idea of how much the required percent would be reasonable. If you know any representative who has proposed a similar bill, please let me know.

less than 2%

If I want to create renewable energy technology what would I want to major in in college?

I want to create renewable energy product that are extremely efficient and are affordable to any level of social class, I also want to create more efficient air purifiers to clean up and keep clean our environment. Then I want to produce enough energy to have a energy company to use only renewable energy, and be bigger then even GE.

If you can dig up enough unobtanium, you’ll be all set to change the world.

How are renewable and non-renewable energy sources diffrent?List two examples of each of these types of energy?

How are renewable and non-renewable energy sources diffrent?List two examples of each of these types of energy

I am glad you are interested in this question because it is important that we should reduce our reliance on non-renewable resources. Future generations will not thank us for wasting such resources.

Coal and oil are examples of non-renewable energy sources. They are fossil fuels obtained from the ground and were created millions of years ago during a phase in the earth’s development that is over. So as we use these resources less is available for the future. Furthermore burning fossil fuels creates pollution.
Solar panels and wind mills are examples of renewable resources because collecting such energy has little or no impact on its availability for the future.

But it may be worth pointing out that the term "renewable" is confusing. What we really mean is "sustainable".

What are alternative energy and renewable energy used for?

What and how are renewable energy used for? Uses such as green cars, lighting and heating. Pleease help me by explaining in detail how and why it works.

Energy is simply energy – it is no colour. The green and alternative relate to how they are produced. So usually they will end up either as motive power for a vehicle or in the national grid along with all the non-green electricity made from coal. So what is it used for? The same as any other energy is used for.

I recently bought a house that has a solar system installed. It’s one that feeds power into the grid.

Am I able to create REC’s? I stumbled accross some info online today, and so far it seems a confusing mess to me, It did seem to indicate that renewable energy from solar systems allows you to create REC’s which can then be sold.

Yes it’s possible, check this
