United States is a country that definitely needs to be accessible to other more developed in the generation of renewable energy. A good step in that direction is the final approval of Cape wind, which will be its first wind farm marino, a project that took 10 years to be approved.
The new marine wind park will be located from the town of horseshoe shoal, in the State of Massachusetts, is in the South-West of the country on the Atlantic coast. It will be with 130 turbines that will give you the ability to generate 420 MW of electricity which will be sufficient to provide 75% of the energy needs of 75% of the peninsula of Cape cod and its nearby islands
He is expected that the construction of the marine wind park begins next fall. However still needs to move forward in more commercial contracts to allocate 50% of the wind energy that will produce. At the time, the first half of the total quota has already been reserved for the national network.

A central solar energy 110 years old House
Who are manifested in the use of solar energy, one of the arguments that most resort is to make the most of this energy source, requires a great infrastructure, allowing to hold all the necessary Photovoltaic panels for electric energy.
Therefore, Ann Harbor, Michigan (United States) has been a perfect example of that to take advantage of this renewable energy is not necessary to have a large structure, since it can be used up in House of 110 years old, in a distant past did not even have electricity.
This home owners opted for reforming the roof of this House to convert it in the oldest House that uses this source of energy, producing annually until 2.5 Mega Watts of energy, much more than what they could have obtained by connecting to the local electricity grid.
What they did to get this benefit was quite simple, reforming the roof and covering it completely from solar cells, which produce up to 12,500 KWh, a very high figure considering that the House does not consume more than 10,000 KWh per year.
