Like other oils that come from cash crops. These oils can be use as fuel for cars. Wouldn't this be cheaper and more expendable knowing that we can just grow fuel. Stop using complex plans to fix the economy and start looking directly in front of us.

already legislated its use and guided our economy away from oil dependence? How are we to expect that they will be able to legislate such policy later, when they give up their law-making positions in the Senate?

please explain for both:

evironmental:

and

economy:

Thanks in advance

I'm currently using my own money, time and expertise to design and build an energy efficient and alternative energy house, but it's becoming difficult(money wise). Even with cost cutting and doing most of the work myself it's ground to a standstill. With the economy doing badly I haven't been able to make this dream come true.

Is there a way to find grants or investors for building an energy efficient and alternative energy house? Things like Grants, Low interest loans, investors. I've been trying to find additional money sources for doing this. Are the any organizations that can help find funding?

Im doing an essay on Solar and Wind energy in Canada, that's due in a few weeks. I need help in finding good, informative, and reputable resources for my topic. Please note that the resources I need must be Canadian, or refers to Canadian statistics/economy/etc. Please help!

Is it a valid argument to claim that: renewable energy is often produced through things such as wind farms which are often placed on working farms and land. Therefore the income gained by the farmers/ land owners through the use of their farms/land can help to support them, therefore supporting local produce and the local economy??
Or is this just too far feched?!

Or should the US economy continue to rely on oil and fossil fuels? Is this good for the long run? Would you support gov't subsidies to reduce costs of alternative energy technology?

Will terrorism increase? Will the economy of the Middle East tank? Etc.

Let's hear from both sides of this question.
We have no onshore reserves left in the US.
The whole US economy depends on the health of the gulf coast. There is not a "red environment" and a "blue environment"
solar and wind.

... years?

Hasn't Obama been telling us that green energy is cheaper than coal, oil, natural gas, etc and will make this economy soar?

source of energy?
Oil is a finite resource and will either run out or not be available in the quantities needed to maintain our economy so any sensible person should realize that now is the time to act.

Are they so brainwashed as to think this is not going to happen?
Onshore oil reserves in the United States peaked in the 1970's, thus our dependence of foreign oil and most of our problems.

Why do they have so much trouble understanding this and why do they think that it is a political and not an economic issue?

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?

In the current economy, is there people still wanting and looking for alternative energy?

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.
