Some foresee hybrid wind-gas and solar-gas plants, with gas producing electricity when sun and wind are weak.
ECONOMIST: What bigger estimates of America��s reserves could mean
Fortunately, we have virtually unlimited sun, wind, and hydrogen resources at our disposal, and that will never change.
Very soon most all on earth will be able to get energy by recharging from the sun and wind.
But do not confuse harvesters of sun and wind with electricity plutocrats.
Otegui imagines (see photos) merging living organisms to form a complex skin which will absorb and then utilize the energy created by the sun and wind.
But unlike other alternative energy sources, such as sun or wind power, there's nothing fickle about the availability of the key raw ingredients--fresh water and sea water.
As everyone who keeps up with technology knows, almost every week new developments are being made in hydrogen technology, and sun and wind power are improving almost as rapidly.
The state has an aggressive plan to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions through a variety of means, from using more renewable electricity such as sun and wind power to requiring carmakers to roll out less polluting vehicles.
FORBES: California To Build A $100M Electric Car Charging Network
Petrino told the police investigating the crash that the sun and wind had caused him to lose control and crash into a pile of dirt and tree limbs on the side of the road, according to the police report.
We're going to also have to develop new sources of energy that allow us to take advantage of sun, wind, our coastlines, and in ways that over time can actually enhance our standards of living, create jobs, and also protect our environment.
However, once the sun drops and wind rises, there is a science to survival that is not necessarily addressed by technology.
The prospect of a future powered by the sun and the wind is so appealing that it obscures a less charming fact: coal is going nowhere soon.
Or what will help you figure out a way to use the sun and the wind to power a city and give us new energy sources that are less polluting.
WHITEHOUSE: President Obama��s Third Annual Back to School Speech
Morris says he favors new renewable sources, but the "Achilles' heel" for solar and wind is the fact that the sun shines brighter and the wind blows harder in the West and Great Plains.
The young man, who was tall and thin, with sun-streaked fair hair, and a wind- and sun-burned face, who wore the sun-faded flannel shirt, a pair of peasant's trousers and rope-soled shoes, leaned over, put his arm through one of the leather pack straps and swung the heavy pack up onto his shoulders.
They need to guard against the wind, sun, and lack of water among other forces.
Massive and expensive, most wind and sun-powered innovations have not found a cost-effective way to penetrate those markets.
FORBES: Social Enterprise Spotlight: Portable Solar Lighting
The Freedom to get your own Power from the Wind and Sun, Solar Energy has been there for years.
It also has lots of different exposures so there is likely to be sun or powder or wind-loaded snow somewhere.
Above all, be prepared for wind, sun and nights of bone-chilling cold.
The nuclear shutdown plus the caprices of wind and sun could play havoc with electricity supplies unless new infrastructure is built quickly, warn the power companies.
His face, the little that wasn't covered by his thick beard, seemed unaffected by his years of hardship and overexposure to the desert wind and sun.
In the quest to tap new sources of renewable energy, scientists are turning to the sun, to the wind, and of course, to a variety of bio-derived fuel alternatives.
Though the coach has an enclosed interior, passengers usually sit topside on benches, the better to take in the passing show: the wind and sun, fresh air, wildflowers, townspeople waving and, of course, the occasional whiff of horse emissions.
The Sun's magnetic field and solar wind - mainly in the form of electrons and protons coming out of the Sun - protects the entire Solar System by acting as a sort of shield from cosmic rays (very energetic particles and radiation from outer space).
But if there's sun and not tons of wind, he will ride for hours with temperatures hovering in the teens.
Then there are the renewable portfolio standards, which mandate that a third of the state's energy come from renewable sources like wind and the sun by 2020.
WSJ: The Weekend Interview with Joel Kotkin: The Great California Exodus
Her skin, every follicle and flaw in focus in the ground glass of his lens, had the same sun- and sea-wind weathering, but fainter, of the stones of the Californian desert, and her hips had the convolutions of the naked mountains.
One of the ironies of the power crisis is that, instead of profiting from increased prices, small generators that use renewable sources of energy such as the wind and the sun have been driven almost to collapse by the failure of the utilities to pay them.
We should be investing in safe, clean energy from the wind, waves and sun.
