3. Wind current spins rotor of a turbine Rotor drives shaft of generator Generator produces electricity Electricity is distributed to Citizens How Wind Turbines Work

4.  Sunlight to Electricity  Backup Battery to hold on cloudy days  No pollution!  Can sell to the grid How Solar Works

5. equivalent of:  Recycling 4,500 glass jars  Recycling 6,900 aluminum cans  Recycling 1,150 lbs of steel  Fastest growing renewable energy source – over a decade Wind is the future http://www1.eere.energy.gov/wind/financial_opp ortunities.html

6. U.S Department of Energy granted a loan of $135.76 million to Granite Reliable Power for wind power Tax Breaks Renewable, efficient, environmentally friendly, Wind in NH New Hampshire produces 17 tons of Carbon Dioxide every year Wind Energy produces ZERO

7.  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 Solar for NH http://www.doe.gov/maps/2009-energy- consumption-person http://www.youtube.com/w atch?v=3PeSwT1zSG8 Average utility savings: $61/month* 25-year utility savings: $18,169* Increase in property value: $8,660

8. Economy Wise  Windparks create hundreds of jobs during the construction phase, as well as well-paying operations and maintenance jobs  Tax revenue from the windpark flows to the schools, town, and county  5 cents per kilowatt hour Project developers Field engineers Environmental managers and consultants Legal and permitting support Community outreach Document control Administrative and office support Numerous construction-related positions Transportation managers Contract and sub-contract managers Project controls engineers QA/QC technicians Safety technicians JOBS Project managers Project coordinators Production managers Wind turbine technicians Wind turbine maintenance Administrative and office support

9. Eco Solar

10. New Hampshire 6.6% of our total energy usage is renewable electricity consumed in New Hampshire, 10.6% is from renewable sources http://www.nh.gov/oep/programs/25_x_25/how_muc h.htm

11. Our Cities

12. Unemployment

13.  Coal  Fusion  Biomass  Natural Gas  Oil  Wind  Solar  Geothermal  Tidal  Hydro  Nuclear Comparing

14. 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

15. 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

16. The Facts One 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. http://www.windmeasurementinternational.co m/wind-info/wind-energy_faq.php

17. My Proposal  Invest 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

18. 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
