My experience:

Oil and Coal are dirty and too big of a carbon foot print.

Natural Gas, the collection facilities and the pipeline are dangerous.

Nuclear: We no explanation needed

Wind Power: We are getting close, but what about the impact on the birds (no pun intended) and also the the impact on the scenery

Tidal Generation: No good because it will impact our beaches and sea life.

Solar: Scenery issues and it will also attract more heat and raise local temperatures

Hydro: they don't want to give up the land to create enough pressure and then even with fish ways in might impact the wildlife.

Mind you no arguments about putting in shopping plazas and mini-malls that use a lot of power.

To get power there is aa trade-off, why is it the Liberals expect no trade offs but want the use of oil to stop? What is their solution?

Or wait until they are invented?
Pilgrim: You are going to spend the k+ price to switch your car to run off of natural gas? Are you sure the numbers work?
Joseph: Do you have a solar powered car? Just curious how sun lite will replace gasoline.

Coal
Oil
Nuclear
Natural Gas
Hydro
Miomass
Wind and Tidal

or are they all alternative energy?

Greenpeace is always saying that Nuclear power in the UK ought to be abolished, along with coal, oil and natural gas.

fair enough, but do they have a viable proposal for how to fill that energy gap?

- More diesel genarators
- Natural gas power generators
- Wind turbines
- Hydroelectric
- Nuclear energy
- A central solar power system
- Coal
- Wave Power
- Growing crops to convert to Ethanol/Biodiesel to burn in a power plant

PLEASE explain why and talk about the pros and cons. Try to mitigate or solve each con. For example, if you chose solar power, is there gonna be no power all the time at night? PLS i need opinions.

food
oil
coal
waves
biomass
wind
natural gas

b) each of the energy resources listed above can have its energy traced back to one source. What is the mysterious "one source"?

My county is building a natural gas power plant which will cost 7.4 million. How does wind and hydroelectric power compare to that? How much cheaper overall?

... years?

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

(coal,oil, & natural gas)

I need some links answering or discussing this question.
Also what would happen to all the cars if we made the jump to alternative energy? could our current cars run on it such as natural gas?
Please give me links, I am doing a research project and needs links that I can research into not peoples answers. I'm having trouble finding any links to these that's why I'm posting this in case anyone knows a reliable source pertaining to this.
Breath it is a research project that is why I asked for links not personal answers.

Maybe because 99% of their energy plants are from COAL,OIL and NATURAL GAS.

Do they have to use coal? No
Whether you live in the south or the southwest alternative energy is still a viable source of energy.
Solar, Wind, Geothermal and other alternative sources are available to The Southern Company.
They are BIG OIL. Thats why they dont want to change.
Americans are not stupid.
CHANGE OR YOU WILL BE FORCED TO.
THATS GOES FOR DEMOCRAT/REPUBLICAN/LIB/CON/JACKASS/WHATEVER YOUR NAME IS.

Says we could cut foreign oil imports by 20% in ten years.
Produce 20% clean electricity by windpower and use natural gas for fuel for cars that is 98% produced in North America and currently cost 1 dollar a gallon.

Plus unlike any other plan proposed so far it is possible with current technology and cost structures.

What do you think will happen once oil and natural gas start becoming really scarce? I read somewhere that the world could survive with 20/30% less energy because so much is wasted but then what? What if the supply decreases by 75%?

Judging by prices alone i would say that current supply is at best "tight" and will slowly decrease worldwide in the years to come.

Will alternative energies, even the ones that supposedly work (and they might not), be at least available when needed?

There are many utilities in the USA that now offer you the option to buy clean, renewable energy from Wind, Solar, Geothermal and Biomass instead of the normal Coal, Nuclear, Natural Gas, Hydro and Petroleum. If you had this option, would you choose it? Why or why not? And how much is to much of an increase for it?

What kind of energy that is harmful to the environment can be replaced by the energy from turbines?
Energy from coal? petrol? natural gas?
thanks

Describe all of the renewable energy alternatives presented in the video.
-What are some challenges with using and managing these alternative, renewable energy resources?
-Name at least one other renewable energy resource not presented in the video.
-Include a response to the following:
Nonrenewable energy resources include coal,oil, and natural gas.
Describe three common challenges with managing nonrenewable energy resources.

It seems like the two big things going for Texas is all this natural gas which is low emissions and then wind energy out in West Texas, not excluding some farms in central Texas as well?

For example we have enough wind power in the United States to replace all of the fossil fuel and nuclear power sources in the United States.

Athough wind does not always blow when you need it, it would seem that in a power grid you will always have wind blowing somewhere to put electricity into the grid.

The cost of wind power at 4 cents per kilowatt hour is competitive with the cost of electricity generated by coal and nuclear energy and less than the cost of generating electricity using natural gas.

What is preventing us from replacing our fossil fuel power plants and our nuclear power plants with electricity from renewable non carbon sources?

o What are some challenges with using and managing wind power, solar energy, and biomass fermentation as alternative renewable
