I have to make a powerpoint and write a speech based on fossil fuels vs renewable energy. My teacher never specified what information to include in our research. What do i include?

Essay Prompt...What is the most important environmental problem we face and why? ....................................................................................................................................................................................................

I believe the most telling environmental problem that the United States (and many other countries) will face in the near future will be the transition away from a fossil fuel based society. In order to accomplish this, we must make a concerted push towards an environmentally conscious, technologically advanced, and humanistic renewable energy generation. The resources available to achieve this are essentially limitless, with new ways to utilize them being introduced almost daily. As a matter of fact, there are some extremely promising options that are already in use, such as the production of wind, solar, and geothermal energy. Ultimately though, it will be public policy and political decision makers which will dictate whether or not these efforts are successful, halfhearted, or even pursed at all.

Let me know what I can do to improve this, best answer will get best answer....

I have to give a presentation on the controversial topic renewable energy and i wanted to know exactly what is controversial about it? I am specifically doing wind energy so anything specifically about that would help also. thanks.

All while being energy efficient, while trying to "stay off teh grid" and be self sufficient.

There are all kinds of renewable enery technologies making news these days. Solar PV, Solar Hot Water, Wind, Geothermal. How can I determine which one is right for my home?

I am researching on renewable energy.

So far I know Singapore has implemented biomass, solar energy and fuel cells.

The problem that I am facing is that when I search the net for renewable energy, all the information given are not within Singapore region. I need someone to tell me where can I find more information on renewable energy in Singapore.

Do anyone know which companies uses renewable energy? Who can I find to know more about the topic?

Is there any other students doing major project on renewable energy? If yes, email me. I hope to work together to produce good results.

Thanks a Lot!

I'm moving out to a rural area where my friends say power is very expensive. I'm looking for some alternate sources of power. Some tips on how to make the house more energy efficient would also be very helpful.

It’s already begun. Business will drive toward change because the cost savings makes alternative energy sources so much more profitable. How long will it take for developed nations to change?

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

how do we get electricity from renewable energy source?

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 everyone will be buying Hummers again.
When demand goes down, so will the price....

I stumbled upon a site for a renewable energy, alternative energy plant in Ireland, it looked interesting & I was about to read it when I was interrupted. When I came back my wee bundle of joy had Sonic, (the obnoxious rodent) up on the screen & my Ireland article was gone. *so sad* Does anyone know what I was reading or referring to? Sorry my description is so vague.

I was asked for a school assignment to choose an informative article on a topic that interests me and answer some questions about it. I picked a National Geographic article called Green Dreams, which is about future forms of renewable energy. go google the article if you don't know what I'm talking about. I'm just trying to make sure that I actually picked an informative article. Thanks!

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?

i listened to obama today about the new bill being passed to "help" build new jobs. Even though more people will most likely lose jobs. But what i'm confused on is he said that moving towards renewable energy will help in stopping the bubble and burst economics we are in.

Can someone explain to me how bubble economics, which is a result of planned economics (aka the federal reserve), has anything to do with renewable energy?

Hey,
I need help I have to do this review and on it it says why is solar energy renewable? and give 3 examples so please help me out.

What are non-renewable energy resources? Give two examples
btw this is out of curiosity i never really listened in science... =]

Investing in renewable energy stocks. any ideas?

I am looking to see what and where is the largest home in the United States thar produces 100% renewable energy-I would also like to know when it was build

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.

I just left my job as an online advertising manager for a successful online retailer. My personal interests and sense of responsibility to help save our planet have prompted me to seek an opportunity in the renewable energy industry.

Does anyone have any advice on how I can break into this hot new field? My background is journalism and a specialization in online channel partners, especially eBay, Amazon, and Shop.com.

Thanks!

Lawmakers only focus on these high gas prices. I think they should look into investing funds into renewable energy and alternative fuels.

This is the only way we can successfully become energy independent. And these fossil burning fuels are ruining the environment.

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.
