Roy Said:Shouldn't we wait to have enough alternative clean sources of energy before placing Cap N Trade?We Answered:You are not quite right. We should not have cap and trade at all. The only thing it will do is make a few people who sell carbon offset credits very rich while for the rest of us the cost of living goes up and our standard of living goes down. When did it become the government's place to artificially raise prices on energy. Our quality of life has been possible because of cheap energy but the government control...

Tyrone Said:What degree would give you adequate knowledge about Alternative Energy?We Answered:Engineering.June Said:what are the major related to alternative energy?We Answered:Depends on if you want to make/design "alternative energy" or you just want to make money or make laws controlling it.
If you want to make or design devices that produce or run on alternative sources of energy, consider physics or engineering. I would suggest nuclear physics, electrical engineering, or biochemical engineering with regard to future energy resources.
Many people will get rich trading "carbon credits" and energy futures. If you want a piece of that action, consider a...
Kim Said:Are there any Canadian Grants/Tax Benifits for installing and using Green Energy sources in your home?We Answered:There are grants, but they aren't huge by any means... This is a search on the Canadian government's website:

If it doesn't work, go to http://www.canada.gc.ca/home.html , click "search", and enter, "energy grant".Jeffrey Said:Are there grants to purchase land for solar farms and natural energy alternatives?We Answered:Maybe not grants, but almost all solar and wind power built has been built with subsidies using tax dollars. It is NOT cost effective when the total cost is used, so there would be none, or very...
Brent Said:What is going on with the stock market!!!? All 3 of my index funds are sinking like crazy...?We Answered:From the tone of your question, it sounds like you have taken on more risk than you can tolerate. That indicates that you are probably in the wrong investments. If you did not do this when you bought your funds, its time to consider why you should won these investments, and what catalyst will cause you to sell.
Each or your funds is reacting to slightly different catalysts.

www.aeesolar.comEugene Said:can energy storage devices like flywheels capture/store energy from another machines ie) a treadmill?We Answered:Yes. Although a flywheel will eventually slow down due to friction.
Try looking up bionx - they make an electric motor / generator kit for bicycles, in Montreal.
When you pedal, apply the brakes, or coast downhill, you can recharge the battery, depending on how it's set.
It's called regenerative braking.Warren Said:What does...
Neil Said:A future energy alternative?We Answered:"Energy can neither be created or destroyed, just changed in it's form." What goes on in our bodies is a slow burn, kinda like rusting of metals.Andy Said:Is this new solar dye technology the future of alternative energy?We Answered:Hi Manda...
Yeah, I saw this and my immediate reaction was "great" - a simple product, easy to get going (no huge infrastructure required) and commercial production available within a few years...

Ross Said:what percentage of a country's budget is dedicated to developing alternative energy sources?We Answered:Yes. Because the companies which supply us with energy have a lot of us employed. This makes for a difficult process. Plus there are myriads of companies which are in the chain to supply energy. It is hard to shift that many people instantly. It is being done slowly now. When the alternate ideas are spread more,more people who are in the current energy supply companies change over and they make money. There will be a snowball effect and everyone...
Jeffery Said:Why isn't Development of Alternate Fuels by America's Smartest Minds a Top Priority?We Answered:Simple. Politics. It's not in the best interest of certain people in power to end our dependency on foreign oil. It is too profitable, and the world economy depends too much on it. There is hope though. Honda recently released a hydrogen powered car in California. It emits NO harmful by-products, and actually produces water vapors. If we can get the infrastructure (ie, hydrogen fuel stations) in place, I think the support is there for the technology.Janet Said:Should the U.S. adopt a "Cheaper Crude or No...
