Alternative Energy HQ solar power for homes, wind energy, and bio fuel issues
The 21st century has given us a plethora of new and fun gadgets. It has also tripled our need for batteries and its impact on our wallets. What if you could recharge those batteries for free? On the go? Wherever you happen to be?
Battery Impact
The chemicals in our batteries are less toxic than they were ten years ago, but the very nature of batteries is chemical. Discarded battery chemicals leach into our groundwater and soil when they’re buried and into the air when incinerated. Imagine the dozens of batteries one person uses and multiply that by millions? How about billions? Yikes!
Rechargeable batteries are becoming more popular, and not, ironically, because they are better for the environment. They are easier on the pocketbook. And with just about everything needing batteries (and accounts) to operate, from toys to phones, PDAs, MP3s, GPS devices, laptops, and all the portable conveniences of this century, something has to give in our budgets.
Solar Chargers
Solar powered battery chargers have hit the market in a flurry. A search term on the rise, solar power is practical and easier to implement. You can recharge indefinitely for no cost at all!
From simple little panels you can store in your bag or purse and pull out when needed, to panels that are already a part of a backpack, you can literally charge up wherever you are. Even when you’re at home, rather than plugging in, just give it a bit of window and you can recharge without plugs and power strips. The backpacks and bags are ingenious because they are so portable and they keep your toys safe, secure, and handy. They charge while you walk and talk and go about your day. When you’re on top of the mountain and notice your GPS or cell phone is dying, you can recharge immediately.
There are backpacks and fanny packs and cute little packs making your solar charger practical, accessible, and inconspicuous. From campsites to campus, you’ll never be worried about your batteries going dead on you again.
Free Power
There are so many advantages to using [tag-tec]solar power[/tag-tec], once you start using it, you’ll wonder why you didn’t try it sooner. Along with the convenience of the bags and backpacks, the variety of uses and sizes grows as rapidly as the toys do. Most solar chargers come equipped with plug kits which adapt to your specific devices.
And the toys are endless it seems. How many plugs do you need and how much is it costing you to keep all your toys juiced? If you leave your chargers plugged in all the time, or overnight, what’s the grand total of your usage? How about the cost of replacing batteries? The final costs for these depends on the individual, but you can bet it’s more than what a good solar charger will cost. Plus, once the initial cost of your solar purchase – which isn’t much – has been completed, the power is absolutely free.
