I'm really worried about the economy and looking for a quick certification so I can have some sort of qualification in case it totally goes under. I found a 14 credit hour renewable energy certification at a community college. Do you think this will do any good for finding jobs?

McCain wants to build buildings for alternative energy, he wants to buy bad loans from the American people

he also supports government intervention, and tax cuts for the wealthy.

Can someone explain to me how he is different then Bush and how is he good for the economy?

Are there any good links that have a directory of alternative energy companies? I know there are many emerging companies across America but are there any sites that have have alot of companies that promote the shift to a green collar economy?

Obama and McCain want change. But the REAL solution to the economy is to get rid of oil and replace it with plug-in-hybrids. People wouldn't pay a gallon at the gas station anymore. It would boom the economy. Why don;t they emphasis the agression of alternative energy?

I understand that at present if our economy were to suddenly adjust to a green economy, there would be a serious crisis. For one, renewable energy sources are not very reliable, and may need to be subsidized similar to how ethanol is subsidized. But with sufficient research and development, could the US economy remain strong or become even stronger runnng almost exclusively on renewable sources?

I'm doing my thesis on renewable energy, sustainability and how an economy (Ireland) can benefit economically from going green. My lecturer said to start reading economic and finance journals for information but I'm lost!! Help?

It is impossible for the economy to pursue both oil and alternative energy. One will phase out the other. So McCain's plan is to Drill, Drill, Drill. Basically he is signaling his support of the Oil companies and their continued dominance.

I've read reports that by 2030, 115 million barrels of oil need to be produced to the meet the increase needs of China and India.
This particular author advocated highly for alternative energies.
However, I read another source, where the argument was that alternative energies were just as harmful to the environment.
It is clear that the stifling need of fuels from over-populated India and China pose a large challenge, but is alternative energy the answer? Is there really enough oil to last us at least a century as some sources suggest? It's difficult to get the truth from so many differing biases on our economy and fuel-usage.
