Q: Whats the best college for “go green” and renewable energy?
I really like finding out information on go green and renewable energy. But i don’t know what major, or what college would be best for it.

A: It depends on where you go. Some schools offer fantastic academic support…but you also want to be exposed to local, state, national, and international people and programs in order to apply your knowledge.

I am going to tell you right now…I am going to sell you my school so be prepared.

I am an Earth and Environmental Engineering major, I have so many opportunities because of where it is–NYC (Columbia U).

We have lots of affiliates so it provides great internships on renewable energy along with sustainable development, water sanitation (my concentration), along with things that go right in hand with energy like economic development, policy, etc.

There is also an INCREDIBLY large outreach to the international community which gives students and opportunity to see how non-US administrations go about tackling energy related issues.

Q: Care to share some renewable energy green living tips?
Just looking for some general tips on living greener, things such as solar panels, etc, that won’t cost a lot to implement? Of course, solar panels cost a fortune, but it’s an example. Thanks!

A: Hey Jenny,

I actually just responded to another question of yours too a few minutes ago. I’ve been reviewing “green” manuals lately and found something called “Earth4Energy” – It’s a great guide with detailed information on how to build your own solar and wind power. You can check out my full review of it @ http://renewable-energy-info.com/ – Best of luck to ya!

Q: Questions on science, renewable/green energy and vehicles?
If the cheapest and easiest way to get hydrogen is from natural gas, and natural gas is non renewable, how are hydrogen cars good for the environment?

I read that the other ways to produce hydrogen are gasifying coal (which is basically burning coal), using electrolysis, and biomass (doesn’t make enough hydrogen).

Does electrolysis get rid of the water forever, can it be converted into water again? If it can’t, could widespread use of electrolysis to create hydrogen for cars, damage the world’s water supply.

A: Natural gas is currently much more plentiful than petroleum. It’s already piped throughout the civilized world. The hydrogen from coal gasification comes from the water used in the process. The car itself emits practically no pollutants.

If you are using a ‘green’ or renewable energy source (photovoltaic, fission, wind etc.) to electrolyze water, you are simply converting that electric energy into the chemical energy of the broken HO bonds of the water. That’s mainly a way of making the energy transportable to a vehicle. Time will tell whether that’s more efficient or practical than simply making an electric car, especially one roofed with photovoltaic cells.

You recover the chemical energy from the hydrogen by combustion (often via a fuel cell). The energy is released as the hydrogen recombines with oxygen to form water. Thus, no net change to earth’s water supply.

Q: Does anyone know which university in Canada offers master’s degree in renewable energy/ green energy?
I have B.S in Mechanical eng. I am interested to apply for master’s degree in green related program wind/solar/hydro. does anyone know which universities do offer research based master’s degree (applied science) in mechanical eng.?

Thank you in advance.

Q: Where to find Green, energy effiencent, or renewable energy products?
Where can i find manufacturers or distributers of these products? Any advice would be really helpfull.

A: www.ecomall.com/biz/wholes.htm

Here is a start.
Go to Walmart and ask an associate to direct you to a green product of any kind.
Read the back of the container to see who the manufacturer is and call the manufacturer and ask
them who some are?

I work for a manufacturer and sell to wholesalers, distributors and retailers. That is your best bet.
Or google green manufacturers in (the name of your city) or state.

Q: University (ies) that offer(s) renewable (green) energy?
does anybody know of any university that offers the Master’s degree in renewable (green) energy program in Mechanical Eng. (MASc) in Ontario, Canada?

Thanks.

A: Well a couple ar around, but don’t remember the name.
Try the Higher Education (University +) category.
So try re-asking for 100.1% info.

Q: Why should we switch to renewable energy?
My essay topic is on green energy, I can’t seem to think of an ethical reasons to why we should make the switch.
What are some reasons(ethical, logical,and emotional) to why we should switch to renewable/green/efficient energy?

A: We should swtich to renewable energies – a wise combination of solar, wind, and water power because renewables are:
A) sustainable – energy that wont deplete (= energy security / the end of the power struggle)
B) Doesn’t cost the earth to acquire
(EG. there’s no drilling into the Earth’s core…)
C) Once equipment is paid for, the energy is FREE.
(Ah! Freedom from bills!)
D) It is truly SAFE
E) It is CLEAN / non-polluting (no carbon emissions!)
F) NO power cuts! (With adverse weather / global warming, no risk, or threat, of having no power)
G) Homes that have handy energy generation kits installed, become self-sufficient / don’t have to rely on the national grid
(which needs replacing at huge expense) (if that money was saved and spent on fitting devices in every building – WOW!)

(= Energy Security)

Q: I use green energy that is sourced 100% from renewable energy.?
Hi all

I use green energy that is sourced 100% from renewable energy.

So raaaaaaaaaaaa do you think ethicaly I have the right to get a tumble dryer?

A: If you are able to dry your clothes on a clothesline or an indoor rack, that would be a better choice. Although your electricity is renewable, there are a lot of environmental impacts that come from manufacturing the dryer, before you ever get it. You’d also be buying something that eventually will have to be disposed. Line-drying clothes will make them last longer, too.

Q: Is every fertilizer from renewable energy green?

A: No, not every.
It is conceivable to use renewable energy in the production of a non-green or man made fertilizer.
Green “Renewable Energy” vs “Non Renewable Energy” is a separate (although related) issue from “Green Organic Farming” versus “Man-Made Fertilizers”.

Q: how exactly does Green-e Certified Renewable Energy Credits work?
how exactly does someone save money by buying these certificates ? does this mean that someone who pays 300 a month on gas can just buy this certificate and then it will go down to $70 a month because you went green?

A: I don’t think the certificates are designed to save you money. My utility company has a program called greeen energy that cost me about 1/2 of 1%, so about $10 in the summer. They will buy electricity from renewable/clean sources in the amount that the participants in the program use. This helps build the demand for renewable energy and fund new projects. Part of the program also helps with the rebates offered for homes and businesses to install solar systems.

I know you can buy credits to offset travel and a variety of other things, but again I don’t think they are designed to save money. It is a way for people who want to do their part to reduce carbon emissions to help fund programs that will help reduce CO2 in other ways.

Q: Why are people against Green and Renewable energy?

A: We live in a world of advertisements and marketing, where pretty much anyone with a great marketing tactic can make you buy just about anything.

Going green would impact a lot of industries that have built themselves on items that do not sustain the environment, like the automobile industry, the insecticides and pesticides industry, the plastic industry, etc.

It would cost them a lot less to advertise and market against going green than it would be for them to actually go green!!

If you have read ‘Fight Club’ by Chuck Palahniuk, you would know what i mean when i say “If A times B times C is less than the value of X, we don’t do a recall!”

Q: Aquila Green Energy Petition Writing Help?
In my city we have only one energy provider to choose from: Aquila Energy. Unfortunately Aquila has no program in place to allow for consumers to purchase renewable “green” energy only. I have contacted their offices a number of times via phone and email to encourage them to look into implementing such a program but their reps don’t have the slightest clue what I’m talking about and my emails go unanswered.

Since I have had no luck in getting anyone at Aquila to respond to my inquiries and appeals to implement such a program I have decided to create an online petition to let Aquila’s customers speak up

Because this is a big undertaking I want to make sure that I get the petition right the first time. I am going to address it to Aquila’s corporate office with a CC to the Missouri Board of Energy, should any others be involved/CC’d?

Do you have any general petition writing hints or tips?

A: There are several websites that will help you build a petition. Here is just one example. I don’t think they are the best, so try googling “make a petition environment” and see what you get.

Q: About the coming renewable energy boom?
I read something on the motley fool about how the big stock market boom of the last decade was the internet. I also read that the coming clean green renewable energy boom will be bigger than the internet by an order of magnitude. This means a multiple of 10. What does it mean by this do you think? Does it mean that stocks will go up 10x their value or will there just be 10x more companies than the internet ever had? What does it mean?

A: There won’t be a ten fold increase in companies. More likely you will see fewer larger companies due to the capital investment of developing new technology. It’s a finite market, stocks will peak higher than they are and there’s no reason they won’t hold, but by a magnitude of ten might be optimistic.

A ten fold increase in application isn’t unreasonable though, but it’s replacing the fossil fuel market which is demand driven. The price of a wind turbine doesn’t fluctuate like oil, so it’s a low risk, low return investment.

Q: can we harness the power of god for use as a renewable (unlimited??), green energy source?

A: yes, but only if you’ve been good.
