Global Warming and Climate Change} Ok no rambing now, on topic, energy

Let talk about two types of energy, active, and passive. And of course active-passive. Making use of the lay of the land is almost always passive, in hot climates, using a natural shade from the sun, examples, trees, cliffs, other buildings, and being on the bottom of a hill. In cold climates, the tree's as windbreaks, or shade for summer months and then if they are deciduous the leaves will fall off to allow sunlight in winter. Then there is passive-active, where man-made shade is used, awning over windows that either is stationary is designed to keep out the summer's sun but as the winter's sun is lower on the horizon then the awning lets the sun in. Or these same awnings can be attached to the thermostat inside the home, and when it senses cold and the awning can detect sunlight on its surface then a motor will raise the awning to let that sunlight into the home, or the reverse if too hot. Then we have solar water heaters, and solar electric panels even home-sized wind turbines. All of these cost money to make, install, maintain, and many need pumps and motors to work. Then the active systems like electric air conditioning, and electric heating, and then fossil fuel heating, also water heater, stoves and oven's, Being hooked into two types of grids, electric power grid, and fossil fuel underground piping. Are how most of the homes and buildings are made to work in much of the planet. In a few very special areas of the planet, Geothermal energy can be harvested! Hydroelectric dams are a great source of renewable energy, that also control flooding around the planet, but only accounts for less than 20% of the electric needs of the planet. Now less talk about underutilized energy sources, it may sound strange but the wind farms are about as poorly thought out as can be, with water power we direct it straight into turbines for maximum power collection, but with wind farm's we stick a fan up in the air and see what we can get, no channeling, no directing, we don't even use the lay of the land to help facilitate wind collection. And the problem of bird and insect death in much larger than most people realize. And yes both play a very important role on this planet. Solar collection, is also vastly underdeveloped, as is using mass thermal for keeping homes and building heated and cooled.
