renewable energy? ok, so I'm preparing a speech on renewable energy. Primarily solar energy. . . . can anyone give me some facts and figures to incorporate, perhaps some angles I havn't thought of yet? I plan on appealing to the emotional side of saving the environment and the logical side of saving money on your monthly energy bill (it's to be a persuasive speech) . . . so perhaps the efficiency rating of solar panels, or that average energy produced by wind? or even better if someone has some figures on the california rebates given for solar panel installation. Thanks for the assistance :-D
Renewable Energy? If you wanted to start a career designing and working with renewable energy like solar, wind, hydroelectric ect., what would your job title be? If I were to start a career studying renewable energy specifically solar and trying to improve on it in the world, what would my occupation title be? I dont want to work as the person actually buiding it, I want to be the person that figures out how the energy works. I want to work basically with all energy types but want to work on find the best way to store and produce energy. More lik a scientist wrather than an engineer.
What percent of renewable energy sources do energy providers use? I have to give a speech for a class where i have to persuade the audience to vote for a bill which requires all energy providers in the US to have at least certain percentage of its energy source from renewable sources. I need to know how much they use now, so that i have an idea of how much the required percent would be reasonable. If you know any representative who has proposed a similar bill, please let me know.

How could renewable energy sources be used to meet a household's needs? Consider the following issues: What renewable sources of energy are available? Which sources could be used to supply a household's needs? How could each source be used? Where would the home have to be located to use each source? What equipment would be needed? Where would this equipment be located? What backup systems should be included? For all you smart people out there, please answer all of these questions!
What does it take to make Renewable Energy Economically viable? 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.

Who is doing renewable energy education? How are you accomplishing the task? What are you focused on? I am researching the current energy and renewable energy issues facing the world. The task is very extensive and complicated. Each region has renewable energy opportunities that can be important to environmental issues, economic development, and social needs for all humans. Government agencies, industry, agriculture, educational and research organizations are focused upon massive research efforts. This seems to provide a way to share information, thoughts and ways to help people to improve our lives by conserving energy, find alternative energy resources and realize that fossil fuels are depleting and non-renewable. Can renewable energy be a way to produce additional energy? Networking can provide valuable information to further the advancement of changing habits about energy. I am a farmer with a background in sustainable energy and educational degrees in agriculture. A sustainable energy for industrial and developing countries can improve the quality of life of all human beings.

What's a realistic time table to convert to 100 %renewable energy? Alright, we cannot drill, we cannot have nuclear power. I wish I could take a leak into my car and make it run, but the technology is not there right now. How long before we can make semi-trucks and airplanes that can run on renewable energy? I've seen these vehicles with 30 batteries on them, but they can hold no more than a suitcase (if they have a trunk at all) and the waste from the batteries is more toxic than gasoline emissions. By they way, they cannot run at freeway speeds.
Can you make money by buying stocks of renewable energy companies? since global warming and the need for more greener energy like wind power increases, is it really possible you can make lots of money by buying these companies now that are worth virtually nothing, and wait until the world gets the need of renewable energy? (buying shares of stocks). Thanks
Why can't we replace our coal burning and nuclear power plants with renewable energy sources? For example we have enough wind power in the United States to replace all of the fossil fuel and nuclear power sources in the United States. Athough wind does not always blow when you need it, it would seem that in a power grid you will always have wind blowing somewhere to put electricity into the grid. The cost of wind power at 4 cents per kilowatt hour is competitive with the cost of electricity generated by coal and nuclear energy and less than the cost of generating electricity using natural gas. What is preventing us from replacing our fossil fuel power plants and our nuclear power plants with electricity from renewable non carbon sources?
Which candidate has a better plan for renewable energy? I think this is incredibly important and I am trying to figure out who has a better plan regarding renewable energy.

Instead of suspending the gas tax for the summer, what if the FEDs give a tax break for renewable energy? And take the fed gas tax and put the entire amount toward research for alternative fuels sources. That way there would be funding for research for renewable energy, and rebates for folks who actually save the environment and use less gas. Currently we have no incentive to save gas, other than the pocket book, and as soon as the price of gas goes below $3 everyone will be buying Hummers again. When demand goes down, so will the price....

For example they could put _______ billion dollars into automobile companies so they could lower the cost of hybrid cars, and _____ billion in the production of these vehicles.

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