Can anybody tell me where I can find information about building a continuous feed charcoal kiln. I want to produce about 5 - 10 tons of charcoal per day from available biomass for use as alternative energy source. Also, I would like to use the heat coming off to generate electricity.

I have an oral presentation to do on Metal hydrides as an alternative energy source. I tried to do some research on metal hydrides and all I come up with are published scientific research papers and people selling cells of metal hydrides.

I don't want you to do my homework for me; I want to do it myself. But, could someone give me like an introduction or overview of Why/how is metal hydrides an energy source?

Thanks and 10 points for best answer!

1. How do I set up alternative energy source using thermal energy?
2. What equipment do I need to support a 7000 sq feet of living space?
3. Where do I obtain the equipment and batteries?
4. Where do I obtain the technical know-how?

There is some talk in the think tanks that it would be a good idea to:

1. Develop an alternative energy source. (we can and will do it someday)
2. Deport all Muslims who preach violence.
3. Leave all Muslim countries.
4. Close our borders to any further immigrants from Muslim countries.
Would this be a good idea?

Aluminium production currently releases a massive amount of greenhouse gases in to the atmosphere. Does anyone think there is an Alternative Energy source the Aluminum Industry could use to prevent the amount of Greenhouse Gases they are currently releasing?

Hey would you consider bio dieseal a good alternative energy source?

What are its benefits and put-backs?

What do you think about this? Could we be seeing these solar dyes on all new buildings within 5 years? Would you be willing to put these panels on all the windows in your house? Could this technology make solar energy the most commonly used alternative energy source?

If you could tell me why or why not that would be great. I would also like to know what form of incentive or alternative energy source and why.

It starts with a global reality show which is funded by world governments, and private entities, offering a substantial cash award, along with the first of its kind, global recogniton award for the best alternative energy source, as well as the most cost effective means to incorporate it into existing refinery sources, with the least amount of downtime and transitional cost. Also--Israel set up a donation system for planting trees resulting in 200 million trees planted. Why cant our government do the same by allowing tax breaks for people to donate money to the government for planting fruit trees. These trees produce oxygen, burn C02, and would result in greater agricultural exports, providing revenue, and the produce could be donated to welfare families, thereby reducing the amount of money each family would need to receive in federal funding. And eliminate people selling their food stamps. The reduction in welfare could save tax payers money. What do you think of this idea?
