| Perhaps one of the most effective ways through | | | | PicoTurbine has even been implemented in school |
| which young people can learn about alternative | | | | curricula; teachers are now starting to instill in the |
| energies would be to use PicoTurbine kits, books or | | | | senses for their pupils the appreciation for the |
| even projects. This company, called PicoTurbine, is | | | | environment and the awareness for alternative |
| the main promoter of alternative energies, a | | | | energies. Children are being taught that alternative |
| company that has created awareness throughout the | | | | means solar, wind, geothermal, hydroelectric or |
| whole world of the numerous benefits of the large | | | | biomass energies that can produce considerable |
| scale usage of such energies. The environment needs | | | | quantities of electricity under given conditions .when |
| to be protected and alternative energies definitely | | | | combining alternative energies we are decreasing the |
| take into account this aspect. Therefore, if humanity | | | | dependence that countries have our traditional |
| wants to benefit from the environment in the future, | | | | energy derived from fossil fuel. Foreign oil supplies are |
| then active steps of protection need to be enforced. | | | | getting more expensive by the day, therefore it |
| PicoTurbine devices work on several concepts; for | | | | would be much less costly to produce the nation's |
| instance, they actively incorporate the knowledge on | | | | own importer and if possible, then become the |
| alternative energies and make sure people are | | | | importer of energy. Judging from long terms effects, |
| remembered once in a while, of this approach. The | | | | alternative energies are certainly less expensive that |
| company receives a lot of feedback from customers, | | | | fossil fuel energies. |
| thus modifying its solutions to traditional energies in a | | | | The company has also encouraged the sales of wind |
| way young people seem to find fit. Therefore, young | | | | farms as well as solar arrays; these products are |
| people get to put their hands directly on real life | | | | penetrating the market at growing rates and they |
| situation and be able to make a change. A suggestion | | | | are already becoming best sellers. To give you one |
| the company has received was to conduct | | | | example of how time has helped reduce the total |
| experiments on wind energy production, by using the | | | | cost for certain things, tale photo voltaic cells. |
| common known picture wire necessary for the | | | | Twenty years ago, they were evaluated at one |
| heating elements. PicoTurbines has also noted that | | | | thousand dollars per cell; now, each one of those cells |
| when people think about wind energy, they generally | | | | costs only four dollars. Therefore, economists and |
| conjure up the image of cold energy and therefore, | | | | specialists in alternative energies have denoted that it |
| are surprised to see in reality the benefits of this | | | | is possible to have the kilowatt being sold at one |
| technology. A suggestion for the projects was to | | | | dollar, in 2015. thus, one needs to imagine the |
| give the opportunity to young people to engage into | | | | extraordinary impact that alternative energies would |
| group based projects and thus, conduct their own | | | | have on the entire world. Fossil fuels are starting to |
| discoveries and pose their own questions to lead | | | | use their popularity, mainly because they damage to |
| them to the creation of their own, virtual energy | | | | a large extent the environment and the air we are |
| plant, capable of producing real time energy. The | | | | breathing. Thus, many cases of asthma attacks and |
| groups will then be able to see whether the | | | | pneumonias have been reported recently and the |
| experiments were efficient and which one of them | | | | risks of developing allergies is extremely elevated. |
| was able to produce the biggest amount of | | | | Such long term effects can even lead to cancer, |
| electricity or the smallest amount of electricity. They | | | | therefore, it is advisable to switch to the alternative |
| could be then able to modify the projects once again | | | | because this would mean no pollution, more |
| and come up with revised versions of what they are | | | | protection to the environment and less money spent |
