Is Green DIY Energy A Scam?

It has been shown that renewable energy resources are more resilient in these weather events than fossil fuel dominated sources such as coal, natural gas and nuclear power plants. The dirty coal energy plants can be decommissioned by turning to alternatives to these energy sources. One of these renewable energy resources is solar energy. We need to work together to protect our states from any catastrophic events causing life threatening power outages resulting in higher death tolls But with the latest technology on waste treatment nowadays, biosphere technology is a great help to many countries. If we really want a change we need to start with our homes. Since it undergoes thermal conversion, it does not emit harmful emissions to the atmosphere unlike fossil fuels which are known to be the highest emitter of carbon dioxide. However, photovoltaic cells are not presently as cost effective as "utility produced" electricity By using magnetic generator for electrical energy genera
