What power sources are used for man-made satellites?

I would assume that most are solar powered with a back-up rechargable battery for when it enter’s an area out of the Sun’s range. Can anyone confirm what other power sources they use?

I’m talking Earth satellites just in case it’s not obvious.
Please include source websites to backup information. Thanks

Is there any alternative for Mega Hydro power projects?

Mega hydro power projects causes sinking of large area (forest, agriculture land, villages, etc.) which results into depletion of our ecosystem, can’t we go for any other form of energy which is clean and still doesn’t affect the environment on the large scale and can be implemented worldwide easily.

What are best wind and solar powered generators?

This would be for a residential area and need to comply to fire and other safety regulations. I want to generate electric power for home and electric vehicles.

I have a very strange recurring dream?

It starts out in a huge, beautiful tree that has a waterfall running down into the middle of it. The water at the bottom kind of pools in a little tourist area with some people milling about and an elevator. (all this is still in the gigantic tree, mind you.)

I take the elevator to the bottom and I come out into a desert with white-ish sand and some desert vegetation. It’s not really that hot. I walk straight through the desert until I come to a pool.

The pool appears to be a normal, backyard sized pool. It has a thin board over the middle, acting as a sort of bridge. I feel compelled to walk over it, like for some reason I have to. While I’m walking over it, I realize that the water is too dark to see through, and gigantic fish are surfacing all around me. I am terrified of large fish.

I wake up before the dream ends. I never make it to the other side.

WHAT could this possibly mean? I have had this dream every few months for a couple of years now.
I already asked and no one answered :/
um. . . thanks for a whole lotta nothing there. . .
Thank you rocketwife, I DO hate my job. lol, that would explain some things :)

Why is Ted Kennedy against Free Nantucket wind turbines.?

For several years now the Senator and many other special interest groups located the area have been opposed to setting up offshore windmill farms that will supply the whole of Nantucket Island with free electricity. I’ve heard alot of wild rumors so I will not start spreading them. What’s the deal with that. If it gets down to nobody wants any power generator in their backyard then well . . . Is this thing even close to the land where people could see it?

what do you think of my idea? a solar powered cell phone charger for those on the go?

it would simply plug into the terminal as you would any other charger pack. only this would have a surface area of about 3 by 3 inches. with a 1/2 inch thickness??

What do you think about wind power?

I’m interested, especially if you work/invest in this area and have a good idea about what is going on in the industry, mostly U.S. Who are the major players? Where is the best area? Does it have a future? If so, what obstacles must it overcome?
