Do you deny that the oil spill is the result of not investing enough in green energy?
Posted by admin on Sep 2, 2010
There are all kinds of problems with an economy dependent on oil. Why do we act as though the gulf oil spill is the first disaster because of the oil industry.
- the EXXON spill in 1989
- the murder of Ken Wiwa
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ken_Saro-Wiwa
- the connection between oil production and cancer rates.
If we invest in green energy we will have less of these incidents in the future. If we don’t, we will not survive on this planet.
OIL = MONEY. In the 70’s there was a period time when American people could only buy gas on odd or even days depending on matching the last digit of their license plate. There was outrage and concern then and proponents of alternative energy sources spoke out. Their warnings were unheeded. Fast forward 40 years. We are paying the price for greedy oil companies and lawmakers who profit from big oil. The bp disaster is what happens when corporations are greedy and will stop at nothing to make that money! An investment in Green Energy is a necessity. Americans have been told it is not possible to make a great car that does not run on gas. We have been told there are limitations to Green Energy. We have been told that we need oil to survive. We have been told, "No, You Can’t." This is a nation of inventors, brilliant people who CAN make Green Energy and renewable energy work for us. We have to break the strangle hold that big oil has on our government and our lives. IF we survive the bp oil disaster, we MUST CHANGE.
Where can I learn more about the green energy sector?
Posted by admin on Aug 23, 2010
Hi everyone, how are you? I was just wondering- where can I learn more about the green energy sector? Specifically, I would like to learn more about how much of an impact green energy will have on the economy (job creation, growth, etc). I am also interested in reading about which types of green technology sources would be the most effective (in terms of having a better environment).
Are there any specific books, articles, etc. that you would suggest me to read? Thanks!!
A very good well-sourced book on this. You should be able to find it at your local library:

Why are Exxon and big Coal fighting Green Energy?
Posted by admin on Aug 13, 2010
green energy and green jobs are perfect solutions for the economy. Although it will take years and funding, the battle will be well worth it when you can go to a nature preserve and leave only water vapor.
Water vapor is a greenhouse gas.
Are solar panels for green energy worth getting?
Posted by admin on Jul 28, 2010
Looking at getting solar panels for house whole energy savings and to have a green element to my way of life. But my concern is that I think they have a limited shelf life of 10 years is this true? It’s such a large out lay for only 10 years of use. Could I be wrong?
Solar panels are warranted for 25 years. Generally, companies warranty for half the product’s expected life span, so they expect 50 years from them. We can’t tell for sure how long panels will last, because the first ones made are still working.
If you have a solar system with battery backup, the batteries do have less than a 10 year lifespan. But 80% of solar installations are straight to the electric grid with no batteries.
If you are looking for a good return on investment, look into solar water heating. It’s a much bigger bang for the buck for saving energy. Let the sun heat the water instead of the dirty fuels.
What is a reason to switch to renewable or "green" energy sources?
Posted by admin on Jul 18, 2010
A. There is more pollution with green energy sources
B. it is better for our envioronment
C. renewable energy sources are hard to replenish
D. all of the above
E. none of the above
Those don’t make any sense. Because there is LESS pollution with green energy sources and if it is REnewable then it is EASY to replenish. So its E or B…

Funding. Scale. Zoning restrictions. Practicality.
Where can i find reliable information about green energy?
Posted by admin on Jun 29, 2010
For school i need to do a project about green energy.
I want to know how much of the energy won this day, is green energy.
So maybe a link with a pie-diagram in it? I know i saw it one day, but now i cannot find it anymore.
THanks in advance 
this article about renewable energy sources in United States should be helpful to you http://renewableenergyarticles.blogspot.com/2010/01/most-important-renewable-energy-sources.html
What are some cons to green energy policies?
Posted by admin on Jun 18, 2010
what are some of the bad effects of having green energy policies for one and another thing is where can I find some statistics of how expensive green energy changes would be?
Renewable energy sources have environmental impacts of their own.
Hydroelectric dams create lakes that change the natural environment and cover up heritage sites while making it more difficult for fish to breed.
Windmills are an eyesore and cause significant deaths to birds.
All of these are cons, but they are all containable and have options to get around them.
Why does Obama keep going around telling people we need green energy?
Posted by admin on Jun 8, 2010
The only way green energy can break even is if our tax dollars are used to subsidize it.
The only green energy plan he has is to make us pay more money to use existing technology.
Why is he so misleading?
Whether you believe it or not coal and oil reserves will eventually run out.
I’d prefer not to have to go back to candles and horses.
Where could a person find funding for a green energy invention ?
Posted by admin on May 29, 2010
Someone I know is looking for funding to build a green energy invention. Can’t give details because inventions have to be protected, but if anyone knows of a real source of funding for this kind of thing your help would be nice. It has to be available to the average person though, not scientists and so on.
Also this invetion so far has no working models, but it does not use any kind of fuel and produces no pollution. It is a power unit that will be used to turn a generator to produce electric.
Great there are invention sites on the net who can supply funding advise .Do not use those asking for specifics of the idea. Also Speak to you state Representatives. Any Politician would love to get his picture in the paper, news with something of this nature.A great one could lead to his reelection
