Carol asks…
Why can’t we just use all the alternative energy sources that were developed on Clinton’s watch?
We had plenty of money back then. Enron was building baseball stadiums. Hummers were a common sight on our highways. We were swimming in Ponzi scheme money. Madoff was stealing like mad, but nobody cared because his Ponzi scheme was puny compared to the Enron Ponzi scheme.
We must have developed all kinds of alternative energy sources back then. We had the money, and everybody had plenty of free time, after the New Economy persuaded us to give up our jobs to foreigners in anticipation of all the vast new industries that would spring up.
Yep, any minute now, those new industries will start SPRINGING up. Watch for it now. Any minute now — don’t blink, you might miss it…..
Jack, so you’re saying Bill Clinton invented nuclear power? ROTFL!

I went to the NY State Fair when Bill and Hillary were visiting while he was president and guess what that hypocrite was riding in? A gas guzzling 8 cylinder Ford Explorer. Some alternative energy.
Mary asks…
how many jobs will be created by off shore drilling and how will that boost the economy?
How many jobs will be created by the overall increase in oli drilling and research into alternative energy sources?
The Expert answers:
For each rig that is built it employs 500 to get it erected and another 30 to 60 people to keep it running.
If we were to build 50 that would be 25,000 to get them up and 1500 to 3000 permanent jobs.
The money that it would be is in the 100 billions and yes we should do all the things to help get this country off of foreign oil.
Hydro,wind, solar, and nuclear.
George asks…
Is there an alternative to Red Bull brand energy drink that will give me lots of energy, but without the wings?
I find them unsightly and my job demands I maintain a professional appearance!
I didnt know Monster gives you wings, too!
I guess it really turns you into a monster!
The Expert answers:
You may try other weaker energy drinks. Actually I recommend ones that contain minerals, vitamins and amino acids. They rehydrate your body very well, give a lot energy but won’t make you a monster. I tried many drinks like gatorade and poweraid, but those don’t work well with me. I’ve heard of this new product Ziigzag I think, I’m not sure if they’re still giving out free samples..But it tastes great, gives you lots of energy and hydrates you, no monster I promise:).. Try it if you want.

Nancy asks…
if both(McCain and Obama) are for off shore drilling and not alternative energy. then we the people are in
serious troble,why isn’t any-one listening to the people whose concerns are about the children who they have already left with nothing after we die.hugh bills , no jobs,no future as is and now no way to survive winters, come-on washington, get a clue, we can invest in ourselves but not on a grid again.what is wrong with solar energy and wind power, each home should have it’s own units.leave something for our youth in case of emergency.
The Expert answers:
What Senator Obama has said is” we can’t drill ourselves out of this problem”. If most people would do a little research they would find this whole energy mess started in 1973 with the Oil Embargo. So after 35 years there is no plan on solving our dependency on foreign oil. The problem has many sides, deregulation, most of the energy sector being ran by companies that are for profit (nothing wrong with profit). The idea of putting our energy needs into the hands of private industry was to create competition which in turn would drive down prices. Next time you are driving look at the prices of gas in your area, for the most part they are the same. Anyone that has studied business knows that it is impossible for every company to have the same cost is bring a product to market. Although companies will routinely agree to set prices at a certein point, this way they all make money and one doesn’t undercut the other. Just imagine if tomorrow morning BP started selling it’s gas for $1.50 per gallon, they would undercut their competion everyone would go their to buy gas. As you see though they all keep their prices the same.
Sharon asks…
What is a good area of science to study to work in an alternative energy field?
I’m fifteen and I’m trying to choose my college major, and I want to do something in alternative energy. What is one field of scientific study that would have a role in developing all of these alternative energy sources?
1) Solar (both photovoltaic and solar thermal)
2) Wind
3) Hydroelectric and Tidal
4) Biofuels
5) Biomass
6) Nuclear power
Just wondering, would someone with a Doctorate in Applied Physics be able to find a niche (and job) in all of these energy sources? What else could someone with a doctorate in Applied Physics do in the green technology field? If Applied Physics doesn’t fit the bill, what is one other field of study that would be used very widely in alternative energy and green technology?

Yes
