Ok, so I want to kow what Obama thinks we should use as an alternative energy source instead of burning fossil fules. I realize he wants to minimize the use of fossil fules but what does he think we should use instead?

i need help with my geography homework in a paragraph form can you predict which alternative energy source will become the leading source of the world's energy in 2100
and please provide me with specific reasons
thankz bye =D

This is for a ninth grade science fair, but all the experiments I found on the internet either required me to buy a motor or were very simple and did not fit well with the topic of the use of Hydroelectric power as an alternative energy source. For the fair I need either to do an experiment or have a model (of a dam or something else that produces hydroelectric energy), but I have no idea where to start to make a model either.

i need to make something for a science project that uses an alternative energy source. it has to be under and i cant do pizza box oven, onion ipod charger, or vinegar powered calculator.

how does the market for oranges would be affected if orange peels were used to create an alternative energy source in the United States. How would the market be affected if a new technology caused orange farming to be more efficient?

It's a joke! First, there's the debate on whether or not there is actually MORE energy used to process the corn to get the ethanol than the ethanol is worth. At best, right now there is a 1:1.2 ration of energy in to energy out. That's not even close for something to run a nation on, especially a culture that uses the most energy per capita in the world.

Second, there isn't enough farm land in the world to plant enough corn to supply enough energy to the people of america. We're talking automobiles, homes, factories, businesses...we'd probably need 5 planets of corn with continuous cultivation.

Third, there is the whole nitrogen problem. Corn is a very inefficient plant at taking in nitrogen. Nitrogen has to be manufactured and poured all over the fields so that the corn grows fast and large enough. This requires even more energy, more pollution, and a big mess if corn plantations continue to spread with this new demand.
And please, don't even bring up palm oil...if you think that global warming is impacted by man, then using palm oil as an alternative energy may be the thing that kills us all.
And don't forget about all of the energy required to grow and cultivate corn...you don't just plant corn seeds and watch it grow...corn is one of the more difficult plants to grow. It requires huge fields to be plowed, machines to plant it, machines to cultivate it...all of those machines run on fossil fuels, and if you want them to run on ethanol, you're going to be getting even less out of the yield if you factor all of that in.

Or, we can do it all by hand and see a fraction of the yield.
Kerry, shut the fuck up. Ethanol is a type of alcohol, that comes from CORN. That is what I'm talking about. Ethanol. Not alcohol. I never mentioned alcohol in my post. And ethanol is the alternative energy source that is being presented and marketed by two of the top leaders in the United States. And shut the fuck up about other forms of energy...I am asking why anyone thinks ETHANOL is a solution, because it's such a hot topic.

And yes, I know why it is being marketed. Corporations like Monsanto and Archer Daniels Midland are making a fortune off of this. Monsanto owns patents on the corn genome that is grown in this country, producing corn that only produces sterile seed, forcing farmers to rebuy fertile seeds from them annually. And this is why farmers in Mexico can no longer afford to grow their own corn.

what are some positive, negative, economy, and environment effects of nuclear fusion? and what could go wrong with using it as an alternative energy source?

If the demand for corn increases due to its use as an alternative energy source, what will happen to the supply of corn's substitute such as soybean? Explain, in economic terms, why this is so. [2] What will happen to the price of corn oil? [3] How does the price elasticity of demand for corn oil influence the quantity-demanded of corn oil and the Total Revenue earned by sellers of corn oil? Explain, using economic terms, why this is so.

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?
