I need some links answering or discussing this question.
Also what would happen to all the cars if we made the jump to alternative energy? could our current cars run on it such as natural gas?
Please give me links, I am doing a research project and needs links that I can research into not peoples answers. I'm having trouble finding any links to these that's why I'm posting this in case anyone knows a reliable source pertaining to this.
Breath it is a research project that is why I asked for links not personal answers.

I'm writing a paper on the benefits of wind and solar energy, in both an economic and social context. Though I appreciate your personal opinion on its benefits, I would REALLY appreciate some possible sources to give me a start on the paper. Please keep in mind that I am not looking for a political discussion or opinions, this is for a graduate-level paper and I am to only write about the benefits of wind and solar energy - so sharing your personal beliefs about the negative effects of alternative energy does not interest me or anyone else and they will be ignored.
Thanks!

From a customer perspective are you more interested in energy conservation or energy production? What alternative energy product would you buy if you had the cash?

These are the current products: http://www.aurorapower.net/products/list/1.aspx

Thanks for your help.

Maybe because 99% of their energy plants are from COAL,OIL and NATURAL GAS.

Do they have to use coal? No
Whether you live in the south or the southwest alternative energy is still a viable source of energy.

They are BIG OIL. Thats why they dont want to change.
Americans are not stupid.
CHANGE OR YOU WILL BE FORCED TO.
THATS GOES FOR DEMOCRAT/REPUBLICAN/LIB/CON/JACKASS/WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS.

Can anyone tell me what the best new alternative energy(s) is/are?

why is alternative energy important?
why should we conserve it?
what is alternative energy?

What are the cons of Alternative energy? Please provide websites where I can find this information. Also, I need reliable, scholarly sources. Thanks!

Alternative energy is very expensive. Either companies lose money or they need a massive handout from hard working taxpayers.

When Obama and Dems give money to windmills, that money comes from taxpayers and is no longer available for schools, medicare, or medicaid. Obama could mandate that consumers pay the higher prices when they use electricity, but that would force manufacturers that use a lot of electricity/energy to countries like China where energy is cheap.

What form of alternative energy should be developed to solve the energy problems that we face today and could possibly face in the future?

Thank You.

CAN U CITE EXAMPLES OF ALTERNATIVE ENERGY AND THEIR USES PLEASE????????????

Whenever I see Obama/ Hillary ads on tv they just show dinky little windmills when mentioning alternative energy.

I am a high school student and will be taking an independent study course next year. Essentially, I am responsible for designing and carrying out the curriculum throughout the year, with a faculty adviser checking in with me occasionally. I have decided that the subject of my independent study course will be something along the lines of alternative energy or alternative fuels.

Does anybody know of any text books or helpful resources that I could use during my independent study course? I plan to do research, perform labs and experiments, and visit local labs, refineries, and perhaps a power plant. However, a textbook on alternative energy that I could follow would be very helpful. Even better would be a book with labs or experiments in it that I could perform.

If you have any ideas on how I can put together this course and make it the best it can be, let me know! Thanks.
