Solar or Geothermal energy to replace 100 percent of all electricity in house?

We have a 100% electric house. We live in a rural Texas town. We are upset about the cost of electricity and we were wondering what the cost would be to change from Electricity to solar power or geothermal energy to use in our home? I am also wondering what is the cheapest way to do this as we don’t have any extra money at all? Are there pricing plans available?

Can wind farms be mounted on floating platforms that have wave generators to produce power from the Oceans?

Would this be extra helpful in locating platforms out of sight of people in order to preserve the natural coastal horizan from shore? Wouldn’t this be easy to expand in locations where it was already built in order to keep up with increases in electrical demand without increasing carbon emissions? Could any country build this as long as it had coastline? Could this be sent to areas with natural disastors or predicted energy shortages as a way to help keep the power running? Could platforms also desalinate water and produce hydrogen on site? Could Solar Power also be located on it?

How do electric generators work?

Including steam turbines that egenerators work w/.
and power plants using fossil fuels, coals, oils, nuclear power, wind, hydro power, solar power, and tidal movement.

What companies are the best in supplying Alternative Energy Generators(Solar, Wind…)?

Hello,

I was wondering if one day I wanted to buy good products for generating energy from alternative resources like the Wind power and the Solar power, which companies are the best in supplying those kinds of generators?

I’m not just thinking of small generators for homes, I’m thinking of a bigger level too. Like for big industrial companies or even National level!

Thanks a lot for your expertise exchange :)

How do I make home made power?

How do I make home made electricity with solar power or a wind generator? I’ve been looking into using wind and solar energy to power my home, reduce electricity consumption and lower my carbon footprint. I’ve looked into solar hot water systems and home wind generators, but what’s the most efficient way to reduce my energy consumption?
