Ruth asks…
Why does every energy solution always make more money for the oil corporations?
I vote for Obama’s energy policy where he will invest $150B into developing ALL FORMS of alternative energy.
This will create jobs here in America, eliminate oil dependency, stop the trade imbalance, stop pollution in the air and in our drinking water.
Of course the “Conservatives” will be against this since this is a conservative policy and the “conservatives” are actually anti-conservatives.
The Expert answers:
McCain flip-flops whenever it becomes politically expedient to change his mind. For such an environmentalist and maverick in he’s party he’s really turned out to be a hypocrite and a coward. It’s not going to have huge longterm effects except on the environment. Even if the US drilled all over the country we’d only have 2-3% of the needed national supply.
McCain needs to stop pretending to be an environmentalist. McCain has a 0 rating while Obama has a 96 from The Conservation Society. If he was a such an environmentalist he wouldn’t support offshore drilling and the gas tax holiday which would increase carbon emissions.
Drilling will only cause prices to go down about a nickel over the next decade at the best. It’s not going to have huge longterm effects except on he environment. Even if the US drilled all over the country we’d only have 2-3% of the needed national supply. We can’t depend on oil. We have to find alternative sources of energy.
Mark asks…
what kind of job deals with alternative sources of energy? its for a physics paper…?
i have a physics paper to write about alternative sources of energy, and one section is to describe a career that one can have in the field (of alternative sources of energy)…
does anyone have any ideas?
and i also need a formula that has to do with the topic and i have to explain the physics involved in alternative sources of energy (what it is, how it works, etc etc)…
so if ANYONE has ANY information, it would be much appreciated!
thanksssssss<3
The Expert answers:
There are many careers that are necessary to the production of alternative sources of energy. Of course there are the engineers who build windmills, solar cells, and other physical structures. There are physicists, chemists, and other scientists that tell the engineers what to do and how to build something. There are politicians who mandate the use of alternative energy and provide funding for research. Then there are a few unusual ones, like an agronomist (someone who studies crops and plants). They study how to get the highest yield per acre and what crops are best for the given climate and soil conditions. You also have the farmers that produce the organic products necessary for the production of ethanol, biodiesel, and other organic renewables.
David asks…
Alternative energy vs. drilling for more oil?
Is this a true statement?
If the US does more domestic oil drilling, the oil companies get richer.
If the US develops alternative energy (wind, solar, etc), this would create a whole new industry and create more new jobs.
The Expert answers:
Very true.
Oil companies and people who make a living on oil future market don’t want alternative energy become popular. There is no wind futures and solar futures to trade.
Mandy asks…
What should I do to start my career in the solar and alternative energy field?
I have a Bachelors in Material Science and Engineering. No particular solar experience. I’ve been looking to get a masters at Univ. of Texas or another Texas University, but I’m not sure which degree would best help me get a job, if at all. What should be my next steps, I’ve been researching for a few days.
How would I go about getting a entry job in the solar industry, what type should i look for?

James asks…
Why arte the conservatives afraid to create new jobs and improve the economy?
They want to “drill baby drill”, yet ignore the fact the Alternative Energy initiatives will create new jobs and entrepreneurial opportunities and improve the economy.
I never knew that repblicans advocate such things as borrowing (Bail outs and the economy) without having a plan to improve revenue streams, as well as are willing to rapidly consume a resource with no regard for what happens in 10 years afterwwards
The Expert answers:
The conservatives have been creating new jobs – in China.
RED CHINA…
By outsourcing middle-class jobs, they feel they are saving on labor costs and don’t give a second thought about how this affects their own country.
