Global Warming: How far are we from a serious – green, fossil fuel alternative?
What serious alternatives are there to fossil fuel. Is there a major new energy solution some where on the horizon that will stop fossil fuel burning?
Is so what type of alternative is it? and how long before we make the change over?
Has anyone got any links to this new alternative
As an inventor in this arena I can tell you we are not as near to this goal as we should be.
It is not surprising when the big oil companies are the very “consultants” our government uses to create the national energy policy. While the hype is good the reality is a bit different, we can see that big energy firms are making record profits in the BILLIONS on a Quarterly basis they as yet are only spending a few million Annually on renewables. Less than a penny on the dollar of profits.
As an American I believe the American spirit and inventive nature is part of what made this country great. For me it is sad that Germany and a few of the other Northern Eurpoean countries as well as Saudi Arabia have overtaken the US which was once number one in the field of innovation and investment in renewable energy. Heck, even Spain and Portugal have invested more in the past decade than the U.S.
Perhaps if we gave less of the many millions of dollars in subsidies yearly that we give to already rich companies and pumped that into renewables we would regain our number one position and at the same time create new jobs for Americans. Dont get me wrong, I bellieve in a free market economy but not corporate welfare.
A good place to start learning about all renewables is at http://www.renewableenergyaccess.com
Their articles offer good links and a good place to start as they are not biased to any one renewable nor politically motivated.
Good question, lastly I would like to say for you not to believe the hype you see on TV ads how oil companies are LEADING THE WAY in renewable energy. Most though not all spend more money on the ads than on the renewable energy they are touting.
