Your Questions About Wind And Solar

Why some americans are against global warming, renewable energy and immigration reform.?

Why some americans oppose to the same block of issues. I observed entire internet Macro Networks on the internet, chain of radio stations, some mayor tv corporations that opose systematically to Renewable Energy, Immigration Reform, Global Warming, Health Care for Everybody and the theory of ‘The Expanding Earth’.

Why aren’t there any subsidies to renewable energies?

If the government are willing to subsidize renewable energy then energy corporations will be motivated to implement them to combat climate change.

Dems taking oil profits for Renewable Energy? Theft? Socialist?

This goes against our Classified Energy Policy. Stealing and investing oil corporations money in their greatest enemy, renewable energy – is that socialism? I think this goes against everything Our President Bush stands for. Technological advances in renewable energy will only make it cost effective vs. oil and destroy oil companies and entire political power structures. Americans neither need nor deserve renewable energy, they should never be allowed to go off grid. Freedom isn’t free and off gird energy is too much freedom!

Renewable energy and misappropriation of US tax payer money?

Dear Mr. Vice President Biden

Why does the Obama administration waste US Tax Payers money on foreign companies. Specifically, please review

http://www.siliconrepublic.com/green-tech/item/17955-irish-energy-firm-riding

We have renewable technologies that President Obama and you refuse to support. Yet last night, President Obama indicated that he would not support foreign corporations and technologies at the expense of the American working citizen. UEK Corporation, based in Annapolis Maryland, www.uekus.com, a US tax paying company since 1981, has an underwater turbine that far exceeds the competition. The United States through the Department of Energy has given grant money to Open Hydro, and now this Irish company who are start ups companies – they are not proven technologies!

Personal letters about UEK Corporation technology were sent to you and President Obama, and absolutely zero has been done by either of your offices. Grants were applied by UEK and our beloved DOE refuses to recognize and grant money to UEK Corporation. UEK Corporation built and tested this turbine through own blood, sweat, and tears, and our wonderful government (DOE) gives start up money (millions of dollars) to companies that are foreign corporations. So UEK Corporation pays into the financial system or purse, creates a renewable technology for the last 30 years, applies for grant money and our government turns a blind eye.

Ladies and Gentlemen, UEK has had the technology for years, and our US Government still refuses to take care of it own. Now I ask you, why do you think this country has employment problems. The trickle down effect is this, our workers who are not employed, are not paying into the US purse when we hire foreign companies. I will define purse, Federal Taxes, State Taxes, Social Security etc… Then the US workers draw unemployment. It is trifecta of a financial misappropriation of US tax dollars.

1. US tax payer money used for a foreign corporation.
2. US financial purse is not replenished.
3. Americans workers stay unemployed and draw weekly unemployment checks.

With due respect, Secretary CHU needs to clean house in his Department.

UEK technology is proven, sites are approved by FERC, and our Government gives US tax dollars to the foreign corporations. Just brilliant! You wonder why this country is financially suffering? In closing, I thank you in advance for receiving my letter, and for all that you do.

Respectfully,

What does the ”ASA” in ”REC ASA” stand for?

I know that REC stands for Renewable Energy Corporation ( a norwegian company), but what does the ”ASA” stand for?

Why are so many conservatives against Global Warming or preservation/renewable energy?

I do not understand why so many conservatives or Right Wings are so skeptical of climate change. I know many industries, corporations, and politicians have monetary and political gains at stake but what do citizens have to benefit from denying global warming? Let’s just say the earth is in fact warming because it is going through its natural cycle…okay so is it still right that we pollute the earth with hazardous materials and emittents? What is so wrong about trying to use renewable energy and making an effort to preserve and conserve our natural resources. We aren’t saving the planet for the planet, we are really just trying to save ourselves. What’s so wrong about environmentalism? I just want to ask and get an honest opinion and please no fanatical theories or end of the world sh#$.
Like I said before no fanatical b.s. Obviously you morons can’t read and mac can take your techno-clubbing looking avatar and shove it up your own bum. I wanted truthful answers that explained it not misogynistic tirade. Back up your statements with facts not propaganda.
My question is why are the majority of conservatives against stringent environmental regulations, I never said all were. I know that hazardous materials aren’t the case of climate change but I am speaking about the conservative mind set on environmentalism in general.
New word for global warming is climate change. Doesn’t necessarily have to be warmer.

Why is green energy referred to as alternative energy?

Wouldn’t it make more sense to call it “green,” “clean,” or “renewable” energy? Just what exactly is green energy an alternative to? Is it an alternative to global warming, dependency on fossil fuels, deforestation, depletion of the earth’s resources, extinction of several species, and acid rain? Is it an alternative to fighting wars over oil, oil lobbyists trying to run the show, and large corporations getting tax breaks and large subsidies? It doesn’t sound like an alternative to me; it sounds like a solution. What do you think?

So what’s the problem with sustainable/green energy?

I’ve never understood this ardent opposition to sustainable energy. Global warming/climate change or not, what exactly is the problem with sustainable energy. I can understand why people oppose higher fossil fuel taxes and carbon caps and all…it pisses me off too. But honestly, what would be the harm in offering people tax breaks for installing solar panels or a wind turbine on their property? Or offering tax breaks to energy corporations if they build a geothermal power plant or wind farm or something. I just don’t understand why anyone could be against sustainable energy sources. Is it because it’s always associated with liberals? I’m pretty conservative personally, but I think sustainable/renewable/green energy is a wonderful idea.
