Wind in NH New Hampshire produces 17 tons of Carbon Dioxide every year
Wind Energy produces ZERO
In 2009 New Hampshire Consumed 229 BTUs per person ( British Thermal Unit(s) )
BTU is a unit of energy equivalent to 1055 joules (heat value) \
Joule= the unit of energy, equal to the work done by a force of one Newton when its point of application moves through a distance of one meter in the direction of the force
Average American uses 308 BTUs
,House Bill 0873, signed into law May 2007 by New Hampshire Governor John Lynch. The “Electric Renewable Portfolio Standard” will require electric utilities to utilize solar power for 0.3% of their electrical power generation by the year 2014. The law also requires that by 2025, 16% of the state’s electricity needs must be supplied by other renewable energy sources

Win-Win“Wind can generate as much as
20% of our electricity by 2030
and create a quarter-million jobs
in the process – jobs that pay well
and provide good benefits. It’s a
win-win. It’s good for the
environment; it’s great for the
economy.”
President Barack Obama
Earth Day 2009
Benefits!Solar power is a renewable resource. This means that we are not in danger of depleting its reserves. Though it may disappear behind clouds momentarily and is unavailable at night, it generally returns in full force.
•Solar power is non-polluting. Unlike oil, solar power usage does not emit any greenhouse gases, nor does the acquisition of it harm ecosystems through spills or dredging. This is probably one of the primary advantages of solar power.
•The energy and heat from the sun is free. Once solar panels or solar thermal collectors are set up, there are no electrical expenses necessary to power them
The sun generates more than 10,000 times the amount of energy the entire world consumes annually
The FactsOne 1.8 MW wind turbine at a
decent site can produce over
4,7 million units of electricity
every year, that is enough to
ensure the annual needs of
over 1,000 households, or to
run a computer for over 1,620
years.

My ProposalInvest in Wind Power and
Solar and create a system for
New Hampshire that lowers
the energy bills our citizens
pay every month and create a
greener granite state
Purchase the solar trees for
our cities and sell to the grid
So when is the light gonna go off in your head!
We HAVE to be green
That or…. We destroy the
planet…
Including New Hampshire
