This may sound ridiculous at this moment but we may need to face it sometime in the future , so what kind of alternative energy sources that we can tap into before we run out of gasoline? Do you think the oil companies or some other major corporations should really invest in such energy development since this is essential for the survival of our civilization.

I recall hearing of some source of alternative energy that was based on the motion of the waves. Basically, the waves provided the energy(no giant turbines) and these things functioned like wind mills of the sea. Everything else was blah blah. The inventor of this ingenious device was some high school or college student, I think.
Whatever it is, just tell me the name of the inventor, the name of the thing he/she made, and how it works. I may have placed this question in the wrong place because there really isn’t enough about alternative energy to devote a link to. Remember, inventor, invention and how it works.

What are current energy prices of alternative and conventional techniques?

I was recently laid off and want to take this opportunity to start a career in clean energy. I’m in my late twenties, have a BA in history, tech savvy and have a good amount international experience.

I need a few examples of alternative energy and what it is.

I am thinking of studying alternative energy in the future. What shoudl I major in, what classes should I take, and do alternative energy researchers make good money?

Some people think the government and big business has shut down those who invent ways to provide cheap clean energy, is this true, and if so , how could a person safely bring out such a product?

Obama seems to be the ultimate alternative energy supporter, so I suppose that alternative energy stocks will rise under his presidency.
The oil price is down a lot right now, and that doesn’t support investments in alternative energy; I also heard that oil companies will fight to death to stop alternative energy companies from taking off. When is going to be the best time to invest in solar, wind and hydrogen?

I notice that Bil Oil is already big time attacking the suggestions of Gore that we move to clean energy sources within 10 years.
Of course the oil companies have puppet strings on congress, etc.
So are we ever going to be able to move to cheaper cleaner energy sources? Are car manufacturers controlled by big oil also?
Is there any way to fight the big oil companies and move on to cleaner energy sources?

Hi,

I have some questions about solar power, it’s for a school project. Thanks for all your help in advance.

What is solar power?

How does it work? (Please be as specific as possible and list details)

What is solar power used for? (A list would be great.)

How efficient is solar power?

How cost efficient it is?

What are the advantages and disadvantages?

And anything you find important to share would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
