Financing & cultural challenges to getting more green energy adoption?
I’m curious to hear what some of the financing & cultural challenges are to getting traditional energy companies to adopt green technologies? In particular, I know that many green energy sources require significant up-front investment today to capture the benefits of potentially grid-parity kwh production in the future.
How does financing work in the energy industry today around the world and is it possible that the way energy production is financed might hinder large investments?
Also, what some of the cultural challenges to green adoption? For example, are $/Watt and $/kwh even the right metrics to use when thinking about the economics of adopting green technologies?

How many possible “green power” options did you find in your research?
What were the options you found?
Are any of these options being used today?
Which, if any, do you feel are viable energy sources for the future? Why?
Which, if any, do you feel are not viable energy sources for the future? Why?
Why hasn’t our county tapped into natural gas as an alternative fuel source?
Natural gas is an abundant resource in America. We could provide fuel for all our vehicles for over 50 years while we developed other energy sources. Fuel prices are as low as 1.15 a gallon. So what’s the problem?

I have been reading a number of articles about changing to hydrogen cars and how it would result in a decrease in pollution. While it is true a hydrogen car would be a number of times cleaner than a regular gas car, I have a few doubts about how clean the hydrogen making process would be. If hydrogen obtained from water, wouldn’t it require a great deal of energy to get the hydrogen out of it? Wouldn’t the energy required to do this come from oil and the more traditional non-green energy sources? Overall, is the process for obtaining enormous amounts of hydrogen overall green at all?
