Alternative Energy Sources
December 24, 2009
I made this video for my class, Web 2.0. It is about alternative energy sources, how they work, and how they are used today. I hope you like it!

Alternate energy …
Alternate energy sources are the future…China, Europe and the United States has many projects underway and many in the pipeline. This will give a boost to the economy and will help build a clean environment. Transformer company, Pacific Crest Transformers has more on this… It manufactures liquid-filled distribution transformers that are eco-friendly.
Just to be clear to …
Although might be sometime might be this December umm there is one thing they & you all have wrong the Mayan’s did indeed prodict the end of a period and it was not 2012 but……….2010 So when things start then don’t blame me for not telling someone trust me I know my aunt gave me a t-shirt and made me remember don’t ask y she just did.
Just to be clear to those who think our planet is the only of its kind not true at all mars WAS once as ours is now and our WILL be as mars is today
Restoring …
Restoring industrial hemp to its rightful place in agriculture today will return much control to our farmers, and away from the multinational corporations that dominate our political process and destroy our environment. These capital-intensive, non-sustainable industries have usurped our economic resources and clear-cut huge tracts of the world’s forests, given us massive oil spills, wars, toxic waste, massive worldwide pollution, global warming and the destruction of entire ecosystems.
Great Video. You …
Great Video. You did an Awesome job breaking down the information and making it understandable. I hope you got an A.
and then we’ll just …
and then we’ll just be sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves because we were stupid enough not to make alternative energy sources when we had the time
knightmascara every …
knightmascara every 8 year old knows that fossils fuels are going to run out in less than 100 years fossil fuels are made from the remains of plants and animals compressed over millions of years but we aren’t giving natures own way of making fossil fuels enough time so fossil fuels are rapidly depleting and most likely fossil fuels will run out seeing how fast earths population is growing already oil and fuel prices are on the rise and soon enough we wont have them anymore
Looking to the …
Looking to the future what may happen if we run out of Gas and oil…We have Solar for light energy…Wind for another kind. But what happens when the light goes out…We move to planet’s with no wind? If we Plan sooner and develop New and better, safer, renewable energy That Also Lower the damage’s we’ve done to our planet witch if we can reverse it…we may have longer healthier lives in the future Knight. I donno how old you are, but Age means nothing on this matter. I hope your not a biggot.
Hi Knight,
…
Hi Knight,
EcoFreako? Explain please.
You like myself live on a Planet…A Very Rare one at that. We may still be here for a very long time…But we should have at the very least ,respect for where we tread our feet knight. Young or old, I Have seem some Dream’s Pummel the Elder older folk’s countless time’s. The Younger Generation Only need’s history, Experience, and training from them to get us further on the road to something new.
Oil and Gass are not renewable.
It is so sad they …
It is so sad they build these things. They kill birds and bats. When they provide power, they just put another power plant on standby, meaning the power plant still burns fuel but doesn’t provide power. They put the power plants on standby because the power the provide fluctuates and it takes 2-3 days to restart a coal-fire power plant. Wind and solar wont work with our grid and current technology. Investments in solar and wind only increase everyone’s electric bill.
Venus Schmenus. …
Venus Schmenus. Wait till they wake up to energy bill that is ten times more than what they pay now.
Anyone can dream.
If there was a better way market forces would have prevailed. Solar is not practical until you can go to Ace Hardware and purchase a panel that will compete with the price of conventional energy.
There are a lot of things that are harmful in life. Energy is not on that list. Crossing the street could be harmful so should we eliminate roads? RU an EcoFreako?
beautibrit18 – I’ve …
beautibrit18 – I’ve been on this earth for quite awhile now so yes I have a clue. And I have a clue about you. You are not seasoned like me. You assume that I have no clue, par for the course for young person such as yourself with dreams of alternative energy. Alternative energy is good but how is it alternative if it is more cost? I guess it ain’t alternative. And your fact of us running out of fuel in 30 years is laughable.
Today People are ” …
Today People are “waking up” that many of the power source’s we use today are harmful to the planet we live on. The countless accident’s that could have been prevented is only not coming up to a conclusion that “hay mabye this isn’t the best way”.
The Venus Project is a design by a person who has had a dream about making our future better, now it is a great study group and we are hoping to gain Ground.

You’re telling people to wake up?Do you have any clue what’s happening to our planet?True this change to alternative may be costly but if more people take the time and incentive it will become cheaper.You need a wake up call yourself.There is less than 30 years left of carbon based burning fuels and the time we have now is a minute compared to the eternity of the earth.We need to act now.
Alternative energy …
Alternative energy costs three to five times more than conventional energy such as coal, gas, hydroelectric and atomic.
Are you willing to pay for those alternative fuels. I am not. And I am opposed to our government appeasing the green people by having the taxpayers and end users of electricity pay for this folly.
We’ve seen this in the 1970s. And what happened? People discovered there was no payoff. Even though the physicists said there was no such thing as a free lunch.
WAKE UP PEOPLE!
