festivedragon asked:


There are many utilities in the USA that now offer you the option to buy clean, renewable energy from Wind, Solar, Geothermal and Biomass instead of the normal Coal, Nuclear, Natural Gas, Hydro and Petroleum. If you had this option, would you choose it? Why or why not? And how much is to much of an increase for it?

To the doubters of global warming, would you buy renewable energy?

Skepticalist asked:


I hear you, you are sick of Al Gore and aren’t convinced in the science behind global warming. But would you buy renewable energy anyway, since it pollutes less? Even if it cost a little more? Say $5 extra a month for 200KwH if your Electric Company offered it? It would be nice if congress passed a law that required Electric Companies to offer renewable energy so that at least you would have the option to buy renewable if you wanted to?

What is the UK’s largest renewable energy source?

Wednesday, March 19th, 2008
*-*-Lucky-Star-*-* asked:


I have searched the internet but I can’t clearly find what the UK’s largest renewable energy source is, i.e. which renewable energy source do we use most? In 1999 it was bio-fuels but I can’t tell if it’s still the same now.

Which presidential candidates are most likely to support the research and development of renewable energy?

Kestra SpiritNova asked:


It doesn’t matter if you list a Republican or Democrat… Just tell me what the candidate’s specific stand is on the development of renewable energy. If you have links to any articles that specifically address this, I’d appreciate that, as well. :) Edit: Sorry about the thumbs down troll visiting my page. Don’t be afraid to answer my question for fear of getting a thumbs down on your answer, because I will be reading the content of your answers, while ignoring the ratings.

How much does it usually cost to convert to renewable energy in the Philippines?

Sunday, March 9th, 2008
Elgy asked:


Are there local manufacturers in the Philippines where small homeowners can buy or get service in installing equipments for solar panelling and the likes? maybe even bio-source energy?

If renewable energy is already available, is there also a program for selling (i’m taking small scale) excess energy back to the energy grid in the Philippines?

What does it take to make Renewable Energy Economically viable?

viablerenewables asked:


Workable energy resource requirements, Independent of being Renewable:
1)Energy available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year.
2)At retail level directly compete with energy resources for today’s activity - if not, sellable spin-off benefits to subsidize the cost.
3)Transportable
4)Technology available.
5)No more environmentally harmful than competing energy resources.
6)Supplies close enough to consumer that distribution losses due to capacity doesn’t become an issue.
7)Politicians that back any solution be able to explain it to their constituents.
The area below the question wasn’t answering the question, but the breath of the question.

I’ve heard you are brilliantly creative. Economically there is at least 1 item more disastrous than investing in renewable energy infrastructure, not having a replacement for fossil fuel. I don’t wish to taint your creativity with my solution. The governments have tryed thinking small with little addition to supply. I’ve gone the opposite route to change the economics of Renewable Energy.

Please be as creative as the person was that during WW II came up with running the exhaust through aircraft feul tanks to mitigate possibily of explosition when shot.

How do you believe the government should support renewable energy?

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008
chattterus asked:


Do you think they should just play cheerleader?

or

Do you think they should provide economic incentives for people to invest?

The reason I ask is republicans are blocking all recent attempts to provide economic incentive for wind and solar production while claiming they support these technologies.
