Where is all the money going to come from? Wind power requires consistant wind. Natural gas powered vehicles require conversion kits. Solar panels costs are for the rich.

How is "green" or "clean" electrecity provided?

Posted in Green Q&A | 8 comments

This may be a dumb questions, but I never understood who the electric provider can service some who pays for regular electricity and also serve someone who pays for wind power electricity if they both use the same power lines. I am skeptical about all the "green" movement going on right now. I believe there another scheme from corporate America to increase profits. Before you judge me, I do believe in taking care of our planet and being responsible about it. But there are a few things I just think they are a scheme like the carbon dioxide offset fee. How does some paying money to some corporation is going to offset carbon dioxide?

In what ways is the U.S. working toward an alternative fuel source?

Posted in Green Q&A | 7 comments

A recent article I read said that India and China are making monumentous steps towards using wind power, an 47% increase in India and 65% in china from their previous year. While coal is still the main form of energy for these countries, they are making big investments in alternative energy.

I am wondering if the U.S. is making any major headway in alternative energy, especially since we are one of the top countries that consume coal. Would be nice if you can also link your statistics.

Does anyone else also think that the hybrid cars on the market are only a short term solution? Should it only be considered a transitional phase to fully electrical cars?
Just curious also, are oil companies buying out people that are developing alternative energy tech? Are they developing them after they buy them? Sources please, I dont like to blame without having hard facts.
