I want to be a supporter for the alternative energy movement but not sure where to start. There are a few sites I came across myself but instead they use the subject to promote political means. Is there a site or book or something that can give me the facts as a beginner?

What are some good podcasts, YouTube channels, twitter/Facebook pages and other medusa? I want to be as immersed and informed as possible. Local resources where I live are a joke, which is why I ask for those above. Thanks

For some dumb reason I thought a class called "Alternative Energy Today" wasn't going to be about actually making something. Have any ideas for a project that involves reusable energy? Simplist one gets best answer.

Is hydrogen as an alternative energy feasible (in Singapore preferrably, but in general will do)? It's part of my school work, and MY STAND IS, IT IS FEASIBLE. Can someone give me some pointers? What should I state?

I'm sorry, I'll be more clear. What subsidies does the US Federal Government provide for alternative energy. Not what alternative energy exists.

if alternative energy was really as profitable as the left says wouldn't those evil companies who only care about profit already be investing in it?
your question- companies expand into other areas all the time.

I know we have a lot of alternative energy skeptics in here, but the reality is that point-source energy production using a wide array of energy technologies will be the way of the future. Large scale wind and solar operations are technological nightmares and cost-wise gigantic monstrosities, but wide-spread adoption of small scale usage by individual homeowners has gigantic potential. Also, methane re-uptake technologies for commercial farming operations and water treatment facilities are also likely to become significant contributors to our future energy basket.

What is one alternative energy technology that you would take a serious interest in if it were more cost effective. Also, if you invested in some kind of alternative energy technology, how long of a payback period (recouping of costs through savings on utility bills) do you consider to be reasonable? For the sake of this question let's assume the unit you purchase will have a 30 year useful lifespan and your total return on investment would be 30/x, where x is your payback period, suggesting an average payback period of six years would imply a 500% total return on investment.

There are hillsides full of wind turbines in the Altamont Pass near Livermore, CA. If the turbines are such a good form of alternative energy why is it that most of the time there are only a small percentage of the turbines turning (even when it is windy)?

If any form of alternative energy actually worked, wouldn't the patent owners all be billionaires like Bill Gates and Warren Buffett?

Why does every single option have to be propped up by the government just to remain on life support?

Which ETF mirrors the Nuclear Energy and Alternative Energy sector ?

My daughter needs a local (central florida) company or business that uses alternative energy. Can't seem to find anything no matter how we search. PLEASE HELP! THANK YOU!

Please help !
Describe the operation of alternative energy such as;
wind
tidal
solar
geothermal
hydroelectric

Must be able to describe the function and energy changes that take place.

HELP PLEASE
must be real dont need all of them but some or all if you can lol !! THANK YOU SO MUCH !! x

How employable would someone with a Doctorate in Applied Physics be, in the alternative energy/green technology field?

What kind of jobs would such a person have?

Im majoring in chemical engineering and i want my minor have background in biorenewables and alternative energy. What minor is best for an engineering student at iowa university?

i mean doesn't it make more sense to use alternative energy?

Remember it was Reagan who cut back significantly the funds to develop alternative energy in the early 1980s. Now we have this distaster that is threatening to destroy the fishing industry, among many others. It looks like smart government spending is much better for all of us than no government spending

1.What is alternative energy?
2. Why do we pursue it?
3. What options do we have?
4. Which ones are the most likely to succeed?
Please help me cuz im confused. I promise there will be a best answer- 10pts!!!!

i want to learn more about alternative energy and running an alternative energy business.

does the use of ethanol for an alternative energy have to do with agriculture?
is that a good topic that relates to agriculture?

I need some websites to help me with a physics project on alternative energy, it includes diagrams or pictures or data or graphs or charts and an explanation on each one, they are solar (heating and electricity), Tidal power, Wind power, Wave power, Biomass and Geo Thermal.

Can someone explain to me why alternative energy ( EX. Solar, geothermal, wind, hydropower, etc.) are not being utilized to their maximum potential? please give right answer as this is for a school project that was due the day before thansgiving and i need this done really badly because my grade in science is 45.

I would like to know if everyone is as excited about alternative energy as myself and my husband. It is an investment for the future and am wondering if people really understand the importance of getting off the grid, gaining some independence from foreign oil and saving money. Let me know. Thanks

I have to answer some questions for a class, and can't find much on the internet.
So I was wondering if you could help me. Is Hydroelectric power a good alternative energy? And why or why not?

Thanks!

I'm doing a science project for my school, and my project is about alternative energy. The candidates for my project are solar cell and biomass energy, but I want something new and innovative, can you guys give me suggestions (since I'm in Indonesia and you guys are mostly from US and Europe so you can suggest a project that has been done in your school, faculty, university, etc.) Any help are appreciated. Thanks.

for mock congress i was given the topic "alternative energy", and i have no idea what to do... give me ideas please and include why you think it would be a valid bill
I cant believe this website- i thought the government already had a program like that? or am i thinking of somthing else?
Elwood Blues- i was originaly thinking somthing about taking coal plants but i didnt think id get any support from ppl, thanks.
