Ken asks…
What are the short term benefits of Research and Development pursuing alternative energy sources ?
What are the short term benefits of increased r&d expenditures in energy versus acquiring another energy company?
The Expert answers:
Hi Yea,
A great benefit is that it will lead to a lot of job growth. We’re basically starting a brand new (for the most part) industry. This can bring employment to a lot of people at all levels.
Also, this will eventually lead to the private sector coming up with their own products and we could create an entirely new market which has competition. With competition comes lower prices on products and services, as well as a higher quality.
Anyways, thats just my opinion. 🙂
Hope this helps.

Michael asks…
Are big oil companies sincere in finding alternative sources, or are their ads merely justifying big profits?
I’m seeing a lot of advertising by these big oil companies, stating how they are working on alternative energy sources. Wondering how much time, money, and work they are really putting into this. Are they being responsible and sincere, or just trying to put a spin on the public with all their advertising for alternative energy sources?
The Expert answers:
Oil companies are in the energy business. If they feel that oil will be running low soon, they will certainly try to corner the market on whatever will replace oil. They are sincere in keeping thier jobs and not being out on the street. Their profits really aren’t that big percentage wise compared to most other industries. They make about a 10% profit on sales while MIcrosoft makes around 95% profit on what they sell. If Exxonmoble did that, you’d be paying upwards of $8 per gallon.
Paul asks…
Oil Companies, Energy Suppliers and Mining are Solely Irresponsible for the Suppression of Alternative Energy.?

Yeah the bums, doing all that damage stuff just so you can turn your computer on.
If they hadn’t done all that damage we’d be hanging them about now.
Chris asks…
Did American Oil companies boycott the Solar, Electric, Hydrogen and Hybrid alternative energy fuel vehicles?
The Expert answers:
Cars are built by car companies not oil companies. Up till now car companies have had little interest in changing because until about a decade ago there was not that much wide spread interest. The success of the Prius (regardless of how good it actually is) has shown the way Nissan are Mitsubishi are both about to release full electric cars with several of the other large manufacturers not far behind.
Such vehicle are going to be much cheaper due to mass production than the vehicles we have seen so far, that were produced by small start up companies.
