Thomas asks…
How much electricity will it take to feed the world’s estimated population in 2050?
My question is this: How much electricity would vertical farming take to feed the worlds 9billion people in 2050?
The artificial lights take up a high amount of energy but i’m wondering how much. Condescending question: Would all the renewable energy available that we are technologically capable of right now suffice for the artificial light we would use in 2050 for our food? If not, if our efficiency on these renewable energies grew to suffice the demand of the light how much would our efficiency need to increase?
The Expert answers:
I have no idea how much electricity it would take. I wonder, though, if it would be better to focus on the demand side of this question. How much electricity could the world save by emphasizing population control, rather than reproduction?

What if the govenrments of the world stopped spending money on hiding the truth?
What if the govenrments of the world quit spending money on hiding things from their own people and the other governments around the world. Now throw in the military/espionage budgets. Now imagine if we were organized and started working together toward common goals like renewable energy/space travel. What kind of things could we accomplish and in what timeframe?

You’ve given me a freakin headache!
The possibilities abound!
Helen asks…
Why are so many conservatives against Global Warming or preservation/renewable energy?
I do not understand why so many conservatives or Right Wings are so skeptical of climate change. I know many industries, corporations, and politicians have monetary and political gains at stake but what do citizens have to benefit from denying global warming? Let’s just say the earth is in fact warming because it is going through its natural cycle…okay so is it still right that we pollute the earth with hazardous materials and emittents? What is so wrong about trying to use renewable energy and making an effort to preserve and conserve our natural resources. We aren’t saving the planet for the planet, we are really just trying to save ourselves. What’s so wrong about environmentalism? I just want to ask and get an honest opinion and please no fanatical theories or end of the world sh#$.
Like I said before no fanatical b.s. Obviously you morons can’t read and mac can take your techno-clubbing looking avatar and shove it up your own bum. I wanted truthful answers that explained it not misogynistic tirade. Back up your statements with facts not propaganda.
My question is why are the majority of conservatives against stringent environmental regulations, I never said all were. I know that hazardous materials aren’t the case of climate change but I am speaking about the conservative mind set on environmentalism in general.
New word for global warming is climate change. Doesn’t necessarily have to be warmer.
The Expert answers:
I’m not against renewable energy at all.
I do believe though that man made global warming is a hoax and a lot of scare tactics are used to get us to give into the idea that we have to let the government tax the life blood out of us in order to save the planet when the planet does not need saving.
Just look at the warming period of the middle ages. Grapes were grown in places in the north where it was impossible before the climate turned cooler again. Vikings were farming Greenland. Monks and historians recorded that the mountains of northern Turkey had the snow caps melted off of them because it was so warm for so many years.
Now we have been getting cooler since 1998 and do I sound like a denier because I question those that want to bring about all these changes in how we live and do things?
I think renewable energy can be a great thing. I do believe that our climate has cycled from warm to cold and back and we really have little to no control of it if we are honest.
Nancy asks…
How come none of the automakers are interested in finding a renewable energy source?
I have approached several auto makers US and Japanese with a thought process concerning renewable energy in cars.
I do believe that it is possible and that this should be a mechanical process.
From the US automakers not even a sound of acknowledgment while from the Japanese car makers I received invitations to share my thoughts with them and the fact that they offered protective rights for me.
This is so frustrating.
Here in the US if your not part of the redneck circle or the Buddie circle your screwed and so are any good Ideas.
Sad very sad and we wonder why we will lose our position in the world market.

Ken asks…
Climate change or energy security?
Governments, NGOs and lobbyists are demanding the world moves to renewable energy sources in order to reduce carbon emissions and alleviate climate change. What actual difference “on the ground” would it make if they insisted the world moves to renewable energy sources because the oil and gas reserves are diminishing and demand is starting to exceed supply?
The Expert answers:
They already do both, so it doesn’t matter. The different phrases are significant to different people, and while they don’t rxactly have the same meaning, can be used to the same effect as appropriate. In the US, climate change is still controversial, so politicians can get done what needs to be done, especially with regard to working with other countries, but since they couch it in security terms, avoid fire from the anti-ACG crowd.
