Yes, like trees. We can always grow more, but oil? Nope, once it’s used it’s used.

The Expert answers:

In general, now is a great time to get into the field, as it is still relatively young and growing fast, so there’s an overall lack of truly experienced workers in the field. But whether or not you will easily find a job really depends on what you want to do in the sector and what your background is. For positions that don’t require any real technical knowledge about the field (i.e. Public affairs, legal, accounting, finance, construction), then jobs should be pretty easy to find, even with no formal training/certificate in renewable energy. There are some positions, such as engineers, scientists, environmentalists, or developers where you can probably find a position without any previous experience, but the certificate you mention would certainly help in getting yourself noticed as someone who is really motivated and desiring to be in the field. Then there are the most technical positions, such as plant operators or consultants where a formal degree would probably be most helpful in landing a position.

In short, the course you mention is a great idea to get started, but you should also do some research on the exact position you’re interested in to see how much background employers expect you to have in the field. For some positions, a short course may be sufficient, in others, it may not be. But if you are motivated and persistent, do all you can to learn about the field and talk to people in the field, and eventually, you should be able to land a position.

Yahoo Finance or MSN Money are good and free tools you can use. Just search for ‘renewable energy’ or ‘green’ companies. Good example of one start up that is getting lots of attention is Beacon Corp (BCON).

The Expert answers:

Do web searches on “co-fuels” or “cofuel” fired steam plants. A number of cities around the world use them for steam production for their central steam heat facilities and for electricity generation. Many utilize windfall and dead fall trees.

All it really means is that things like shredded tires and coal for example, or trash and coal, or trash and natural gas.

Many things moss peat can be burned along with coal or instead of coal to produce heat.

Anyone who supports nuclear is mal informed about nuclear and those companies promoting it. It leaves a legacy that will last longer than the sun, and it is an energy source that the global society has outgrown as it has matured, just as you outgrew your doctor dentons as you matured. Nuclear drinking water is a real possibility because so much is stored along rivers that supply or feed into rivers that supply drinking water to over half the US population. And they will be contaminated because dry cask storage was a short term fix that has become long term- they leak or now, or soon will.

Nuclear gives new meaning to “…a beaming smile…”

Lets take wind energy in the city of New York! It will take at least 1million wind energy towers to provide energy just to the city of NY. Question were we will put them? It will take acres and acres of land to put them, then comes the next issue, we will have to divert airplanes from their normal fly path to avoid collisions with the towers, that will create an increase in fuel consumption for the airlines, next issue , birds that will get kill during seasonal emigration, and finally the cost to put the one million towers and to maintanence of them will be gastronomical. Example. During the winter gets what will hapen ? Durins storms? During thundering? As for organic, every body knows that was a fiasco and the mony wasted by using corn to produce fuel. First it created a demand for it (the corn) andevry other product that use corn went sky rocket in price, then here came the storms and the corn fills went under water, dammaging the crops, along with the winter. So her it comes solar panels, it only work with the sun up, againg winter comes and then frossen crystals crack, need lots of acres to actully had enough power to lit a gread, the same question comes were will going to put them? Them comes the enviromentalist and animal activist, assumming we put the towers and the sun panels we will have to use some of the land dedicated to animal santuaries ,forest will be deforest in order to clear the lands to put the toys. So i said lest drill and use our natural resources they are working very well. Hypocresy in the theme, eviromentalist espesilly females will scream about saving the earth ,pollution, and waste, but they will never give up PAMPERS!!!!! They will never go back to the diapers that need to clean a wash. Organic farms are using humane waist to fertilize the land, well if the idea was not to put quemicalsin the ground wy is ok tho use humand waist , after all it is procces with amonia and a good amount of it.
