Or the science behind all the technologies You have made broad sweeping, mostly psychological based with some very simplistic data. What if the wind doesn't blow where you live? What if the clouds block the sun 50% of the time? Is it better to send $1,000,000 today to a power company for all your power you'll ever need, or send the power company $100/month for 20 years? buying a hammer affects the poor, the iron in that hammer could have been a plow that could feed 1000 people. You are confusing your personal beliefs with moral issues. If you really believe your hammer comparison, you'd shutdown the computer and allow others to use that power, you are wasting it playing this game on Yahoo answers.<br><b>References : </b><br> why don’t you understand complex financial issues and the psychology of every person on earth?

You have made broad sweeping, mostly psychological based with some very simplistic data.

What if the wind doesn’t blow where you live? What if the clouds block the sun 50% of the time?

Is it better to send $1,000,000 today to a power company for all your power you’ll ever need, or send the power company $100/month for 20 years?

Like, if gasoline goes to $5.00 per gallon, a lot more people will become interested in alternative fuel vehicles. We got tired of paying for gas when it hit $3.50 a gallon back in 2007 and we researched some alternatives and found cars that ran on natural gas, which was 65 cents a gallon at the time! Now we are paying a whopping 93 cents per gallon, but look at gasoline prices in comparison. We have saved gobs of money by having these cars instead of regular gasoline cars, and wish they would catch on. We have noticed a lot of our neighbors still won't switch even though they know about our cars and see that they work as well as theirs. They find every excuse to not change, even though it's not a big deal at all. It's very annoying.<br><b>References : </b><br>www.cngPrices.com www.NGVamerica.org People won’t change until it personally hurts enough that they feel they must, for the most part.

Im running my entire home on solar panels that i built and small wind generators that i also designed and built but trust me i wasn't thinking about the world when i built them i was thinking about my utility saving and they have well paid off . Thing is if you don't know how to build your own system it is really expensive and most people just cant afford it . As far as people filling up there hummers well they just don't give a crap about anything . There is people working on alternatives . This is what im waiting for . http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=6228923n . Would love to just get my hands on the two boxes he is holding in his hands.<br><b>References : </b><br> People don’t find the importance of to much of anything unless it benefits them directly .

The cost we pay for a gallon of gas does not include the cost of the pollution we cause nor the cost of military (hardware and lives) that it requires. If all the costs associated with defending our ability to import oil were taken off our income tax and put on our energy tax, people would be much more thoughtful about the energy we use. As it, the market has been distorted by government subsidies for energy, funded instead by taxes on our income. Get these externalities straightened-out and the free market will guide us to much smarter choices.<br><b>References : </b><br> The costs associated with energy is not born by the ultimate users.

These three things will dictate the value they place on anything on earth. As far as alternative energy sources, each has their positive and negative values. Solar power requires batteries, which have toxic properties, and doesn't work at all at night, and in limited capacity in cloudy weather. Wind energy requires enormous capital, and is very inefficient. On a larger scale, there's a gamble as to whether or not a windmill will pay for itself before it breaks or has to be dismantled at the end of its' service life. Nuclear power requires capital, oversight and infrastructural investment, which will all require massive public support. We aren't all going to die because of energy issues. The cheapest forms of fuel will just become more expensive, and the alternatives will become more economical. Plus, if someone has the money and the desire for a big car, who should be able to say they can't have what they want? Being wasteful is expensive, but some people can afford it. Of course people are dumb, and some can't see more than a week, or a year in advance. That's always been the way.<br><b>References : </b><br> Because people have differing priorities, needs and desires. These three things will dictate the value they place on anything on earth.

Solar and wind power are great but expensive. Diesel fuel is great and there is plenty to go around.Gas is slowly disappearing so make you chose. And maybe get a diesel /electric car or maybe even a smart cart.<br><b>References : </b><br> Because people are afraid of change. Solar and wind power are great but expensive.

If you show them that they are they ignore it and continue stating their arguments and personal beliefs. Granted some areas of the world aren't suitable for renewable energy resources but they are a drop in a bucket compared to the areas that can make use of renewable energy.<br><b>References : </b><br> A lot of people are of the belief that they can’t be used on large enough scales.

I mean what percentage of ordinary have seriously thought about installing a solar energy system in their homes. Less than one no doubt. Getting one installed is going to cost you thousands but you can actually make one yourself. Ok it wont’ be just a Saturday afternoon in the garage but it can be done for just a few hundred bucks and maybe take a month of weekends to do. http://www.homeenergydiyreview.com has brief, factual reports on various download renewable energy kits. These include solar, wind powered systems and magnetic generators.<br><b>References : </b><br> I think most people simply don’t understand or know enough about alternative or renewable energy.
