Chi Guy asked:


If so, will it be solar technology, fuel cell/battery innovation or something else?
Tha*Luna… (below) I disagree because I envision the majority homes in 2020 being built with geothermal and/or solar energy included. I also envison alt energy cars being sold by the hundreds of thousands by then. This would mean that the green energy technologies will be selling like nobody’s business and yeilding rediculous stock returns because of it.

What is the price of large bulk quantity of vegtable oil for biodiesel?

john b asked:


If I were to set up a biodiesel refining unit I would want fresh vegtable oil and I do not want to collect if from resturants. I want to buy at least 500 gallons at a shot to make it worthwhile. I want it domestically produced in the United States. Price and availability are an issue.

What are the solutions to our mounting energy crisis?

Diggy asked:


We all know gas prices are high. I think they will only get higher, save some dips in the off-season. The issue is all the energy we use, not just our cars. Some say alternative fuels. Is it possible to simply switch over to ethenol? No. Should we be thinking about the way we live, our infrastructure, public transportation, how far and often we drive?

The cost of heating and cooling our homes will also continue to rise. Is there significant wind and solar technologies as an alternative? Nuclear, coal, hydro? What do you think?

Do you think that the more the world uses green energy the better off we’ll be?

Monday, October 13th, 2008

Stan S asked:


In the immediate, short, medium, long and very long terms? Because then price spikes, fluctuations and increases in other energy production methods will be insulated against, right? Plus once the green energy industry takes off prices will come down more and more while we know many other forms of energy production will get more and more expensive especially those forms that are not renewable or have expensive waste storage, pollution or emission problems.
