Betty asks…
What are three renewable alternative energy sources?
I need help on this. When u answer can u be thorough about why the 3 alternative energy sources are renewable please.
The Expert answers:
Wind, solar and tidal (or wave) power.
They are considered renewable because no matter how much wind or sunlight or how many waves you use, you’ll never consume it all. Petroleum products like oil and natural gas are not renewable because there is a finite amount of it in the ground. When it’s gone, it’s gone.
It may not be windy, sunny or wavy every day, but there’ll always be more.
Carol asks…
Why did Jindal say alternative energy is a good thing but criticized the stimulus package?
Why did Jindal say we need more alternative energy, but then criticize the stimulus package’s contents of hyrbid cars for government workers and a magnetic rail line from Las Vegas to Disneyland? Maglev technology was just one more technology we lost to the Japanese and Chinese and could be a focus of our transportation needs.
So he is not for government spending on alternative energy either then? That’s not the impression I got from his speech.
The Expert answers:
Jindal is an idiot. He’s just another Sarah Palin. I loved his volcano comment. We should take his advice to use the money some states use in monitoring their volcanoes like Hawaii, Washinton, and Alaska, and use it on something else. So when those volcanoes actually erupt without warning, we can blame it all on Apu. Thank you, come again
Joseph asks…
What can you use alternative energy for?
I am writing an essay on alternative energy and it would really help if you answerd soon and gave me the resources!
The Expert answers:
There are different types of alternative energy, and each has its own purposes.
Bio-desiel is used primarily for operating vehicles.
There are a number of methane gas sources and uses. King County, WA is harnessing methane from a land fill to power its land fill operations and also for sales income. Mesa, Az is using methane from a sewage treatment plant to power the plant and several area residences. There are some farms/feed lots out there capturing and using methane for their own and surrounding purposes. In some cases, methane is burned for heating, steam engine/motor operation, or combustion engine operation. In other cases, it is converted into electricity; I would guess that it is through a burning process.
Wind, wave, and river energy tends to be turned into electricity.
Solar panels and wind turbines make electricity. But, passive solar often involves the pre-heating of water in outdoor bladders/container using the sun and then using it indoors. Often the indoor uses include radiant heating, pre-heated water for house hold heat or house hold hot water.
Is this the type of things you are asking for? Finding more information on these topics and/or specifics is easy by plugging them into a search engine.
William asks…
Do you support a complete switch over to alternative energy sources in the near future?
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?
The Expert answers:
Out of idle curiosity, what are you going to make roads, plastics, rubber materials…etc out of if we no longer can use oil?
Mark asks…
What would be the most efficient and possible alternative energy resource to take the place of gas?
In the future what will we use when all the natural oil is used up? Please explain why we would be using this alternative energy and how it works. A website with information about this topic would be helpful too.
The Expert answers:
I think the best alternative we have right now is Bio diesel from algaee.
