Are alternative power sources (solar energy, wind power, etc) popular in your country?
What is the percentage of their use?

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

The released hydrogen would rise to the top of the atmosphere and be blown away from the Earth by the solar wind.
If you crack the H2 from water or methane and it is released is there not still a limited supply?
