Clean Energy Surge Protection

Clean energy is a way of referring to the production methods that do not burn fossil fuels in order to turn turbines.  Also known as "new energy" and "alternative energy" due to the fact that most industrialized countries rely heavily on fossil fuel production in order to power their homes, clean energy production is still evolving.  There are essentially two major issues with the processes currently that are preventing them from overtaking fossil fuel production as the standard, those issues being cost and the ability to produce energy 24 hours a day.  These are advantages for fossil fuel production methods, as currently the fuels themselves are cheap yet are growing more scarce every day due to mass consumption.  The production facilities are also not constrained by the times when the wind is blowing and the sun is shining in order to produce.  While these strengths are severely compromised by the fact that there is evidence of damage done to the environment using these methods, the debate generally stops when supporters cannot physically see damage.  Because we are talking about environmental damage that cannot be readily seen with the naked eye, people tend to support the methods that cost them the least amount.

Debates would easily be ended if the methods that were the cleaner were also the cheaper and were able to produce enough power on their own to power communities 24 hours a day.  Luckily, this day may be coming sooner than you think, as technological advances in the surge protection industries are creating more efficient systems that are cheaper to run. This is due to the fact that the costs associated with new energy are found in the repair and replacement of control equipment that is often damaged in the field.  Unlike fossil fuels that have a cost associated, wind and sun are free and when used to turn turbines do not produce by products.  This means that when effectively harnessed, free power can be generated as long as the sun is shining and the wind is blowing.  Issues arise when lightning strikes to the wind turbines or solar panels allow power surges to travel along lines to the computerized equipment that runs the systems.  Circuitry is generally overwhelmed and the components are damaged, while also knocking systems offline.  Through the integration of more efficient and powerful surge protection devices into these systems, costs of repair can be brought down and systems kept functioning for longer periods of time.  This reduces the overall production costs while also improving the efficiency of the systems, resulting in more and cheaper power.  Once the cost basis for new energy is brought down to the same levels as fossil fuels, there is no reason to continue to support the old methods.  At that point, "new energy" is no longer the alternative, but instead will be viewed as the standard.

Through the integrations of technologically advanced surge protection for new energy systems from Raycap, producers can continually tighten margins and reduce production costs, eventually bringing the costs to the same levels as fossil fuels.  Since there is no debate that zero damage to the environment is better than an undefined amount of damage, there is no reason not to support the method that produces no damage.  The uptimes for systems are extended, therefor making more energy while the fuel sources are available for free, and potentially storing enough excess energy to power communities when the wind or sun is not present.
