Very good point about these science fair projects all having the same blueprints. All it takes is a slightly new angle on an existing solution or to merge different solutions in a novel way and that originality can be found.

everything starts with us. the government can only initiate and market up to a certain extent. But in the end it’s all us.

I think the “government” has their hands full right now. And they are looking into and implementing alternative energy resources. If you think about it, WE are the government. WE need to choose alternative resources, implement cheaper more energy economical strategies in our home and workplace.

For instance, do you unplug all your electrical appliances when not in use (except refrigerator) including your computer?
Just that alone will make a difference.

I wonder when we will be able to experience cheap and clean energy sources. Frankly the rates today of electricity and oil is very high. This is something the government really needs to look into in my opinion.

The question I have is what science fair ideas do you have so that students can test various energy systems in their homes and schools? Here are some science fair projects about energy that we came up with.

Yes, and when you make your home more energy efficient, for instance, windows, you get a nice tax credit.

I know it’s not as exciting as designing solar or wind energy systems but increasing efficiency in an energy system can make the project more cost effective. Consider making your home more energy efficient before comtemplating installing an alternative energy system. It’s estimated that for every 1 dollar spent on improving your home’s energy efficiency, you can reduce the cost of an alternative enegy system by 3-5 dollars. It’s a good way to save money and energy.

Hope they find a good alternative that is cheap and eco-friendly. Sometimes the problem is that the government itself hinders good inventions as they would lose huge taxes if they support the cheap alternatives.
