What are current energy prices of alternative and conventional techniques?

I was recently discussing with someone the possibility of the government installing a cap-and-trade system on American companies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. I said that would be a baby step in the right direction, however I think we need a stricter solution, such as the development and eventually mandated uses of alternative energy (solar power, wind and tide energy, for example) instead. However, I was wondering if this is even applicable to the topic at hand? What processes exactly do happen within companies to emit so much greenhouse gas? And, could alternative energy even be substituted for the original methods of production?

I want to know the top three reasons as to why an alternative energy source should be found. what are they?

In the future what will we use when all the natural oil is used up? Please explain why we would be using this alternative energy and how it works. A website with information about this topic would be helpful too.

In my story i have to talk about biofuels and alternative energy.. i already wrote about all the biofuels and about oil platforms and what are the largest oil platforms.

Now I need to switch over to alternative energy… how can I do that???? how should i start?

I’ve read reports that by 2030, 115 million barrels of oil need to be produced to the meet the increase needs of China and India.
This particular author advocated highly for alternative energies.
However, I read another source, where the argument was that alternative energies were just as harmful to the environment.
It is clear that the stifling need of fuels from over-populated India and China pose a large challenge, but is alternative energy the answer? Is there really enough oil to last us at least a century as some sources suggest? It’s difficult to get the truth from so many differing biases on our economy and fuel-usage.

I’m confused.

I’ve read that it takes energy to extract hydrogen from water. Then you have hydrogen which can make cars move. But does that mean hydrogen is energy in itself? Can hydrogen be used to extract more hydrogen from water?

And what does that entail for water? Drinking supplies are already threatened so i guess the only option is desalination – but that takes even more energy! Can hydrogen be used to power desalination plants to get water from which to make hydrogen?

Please, someone clear this up for me.

When it comes down to it, which would have a better market and wider consumer base. I was thinking along the lines of Hydrogen fuel-cell refueling station or solar panel installation business. There are strides being taken in hydrogen automobiles and also in solar technology and cost. So which is a better idea? Thanks for your help.

I have a report due tomorrow… I need to define and describe the following alternate energy types:
solar, geothermal, hydro, wind, hydrogen, and biomass.

ninebadthings asked:


Is it possible to extract a quantity of hydrogen from water with a greater potential energy than that of the amount of energy in the electricity used to produce it?

Seems to me conservation of energy is always going to be the spoiler.
