Suggest ways in which renewable resources can be used to replace non-renewable resources?
Has climate change, global warming and alternative energy made old dirty forms of power production obsolete?
Especially when one takes into consideration these facts: the costs of cleaning up after the natural disastors they help cause, if they can even be cleaned up quickly and succesfully, (see the katrina clean up, then imagine one or two of those every year) can be prevented by in part not using them. The fact that new green clean power gets cheaper every day and coal, oil and other non-renewable energy sources get more scarce every day and are many times located in hostile areas. The fact that there would be great loss of life and habitable area and expense involved in nuclear power accidents or terror attacks. The fact that damage to the environment and the current mass extinction of species is caused by them from the climate change they help cause. And the most critical fact, the disruptions to the global food supply that will result from there continued use. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obsolescence
The abondonment of old dirty power would lead to an explosion of the green energy sector and that sector would be able to meet demand as it increases in size to fill it.
Why do something vastly more expensive and destructive then something else that will serve the same function in a much improved way?
How can we move toward a sustainable energy future if the current conditions prevail?
This is not the first sustainable energy project that has been thwarted due to environmental concerns.

I agree with much of what you say. I have empolyed six of the stadigies you mention.
Here is where i disagree with you. I think it our right and duty to worry when our things such as this. Our government is speaking of making change and even taxing us for using unsustainable energy and still dancing to the same old environmentalist NIMBY tune. If we are serious about cutting emissions and creating a sustainable future, projects like this should get government blessing not resistance.
Why not invest more heavily in alternative energy sources if?
our oil dollars simply go to Saudi Arabia, which then funds groups that commit terrorism?
If China is one of the sole investors in alternative energy, who do you think the world will turn to once oil reserves are tapped out?
what are your thought on renewable energy?
I would like to know if decreasing the price of renewable energy would increase people to bye it?
and if your know a site that shows some statistics on the prices of renewable energy in new york state.
What are some careers in renewable energy?
The job titles in alternative energy development that require masters degrees and such?
thanks
does anybody have an idea for an exhibit on waste management or sustainable energy?
i am in class 6th and we are having an science exhibition and the topic’s are sustainable energy or waste management. please i really need help….
Idea for my school project on alternative energy?
I need to come up with a plan using alternative energy to reduce the emission of CO2, NO and SO2. Anyone have any ideas? Solar, geothermal, biomass, and wind are some ideas…. Thanks!
What will happen when we run out of oil? (alternative energy)?
I am doing a report on alternative energy…….if you have any info on slar energy, hydroelectricity, geothermal energy, or tidal energy, it would be much appriecieted!!! im looking for websites, or online articles. i need to know how its gathered, if its renewable, posotive aspects to this energy source, negative a spects, primary uses of this energy source, is it more available in other parts of the world that others, is this energy source economical copared to fossil fuels, what impact it has on the enviroment, and is it a good alternative to fossil fuel.
THANK YOU!!!
Are you for or against a law that would mandate the usage of alternative energy in newly consturcted buildings?
Are you for or against a law that would mandate the usage of alternative energy in newly consturcted buildings in NYC?
Yes?
No?
Why?
Why not?
Why do you think this?
How do you feel about it?
What's better, and attic fan or turbines? Electric or solar fan? Are they noisy?
Home maintenance
This is Colorado: we have a whole lot of wind. Hot winds in the summer; microbursts now and then. Tall trees are sometimes knocked down.
How much money does the world spend on renewable energy?
I was wondering how much money does the world as a total spends on renewable energy?
What do Bush and the House Republicans have against Alternative Energy?
House shifts billion toward renewable energy!
Republicans called it a "no-energy bill" because it lacks new drilling incentives, and they derided the new emphasis on renewables as "green pork." The White House threatened to veto the bill on concerns that it could boost energy prices.
Didn’t Bush say that the USA is addicted to oil and needs to find alternate energy sources? Or was he just refering to ethanol?

How can energy resources be managed in a sustainable manner?
I need to concentrate on:
-fossil fuels – coal and oil
-fast growing biomass
-gasohol from sugar
-biogas from domestic and agricultural waste
Thanks
ANSWER QUICKLY PLEASE!!! high school wind generator?!?
I need to know a site where I can get the correct step by step information on how to make a wind generator for my science class. I am not allowed to use batteries. Please give me a website, thankyou.
