Financing & cultural challenges to getting more green energy adoption?

Saturday, November 29th, 2008

Jason M asked:

I’m curious to hear what some of the financing & cultural challenges are to getting traditional energy companies to adopt green technologies? In particular, I know that many green energy sources require significant up-front investment today to capture the benefits of potentially grid-parity kwh production in the future.

How does financing work in the energy industry today around the world and is it possible that the way energy production is financed might hinder large investments?

Also, what some of the cultural challenges to green adoption? For example, are $/Watt and $/kwh even the right metrics to use when thinking about the economics of adopting green technologies?

Is there anyone out there currently making or experimenting with Biodiesel?

Wednesday, November 26th, 2008

short stuff asked:

I am researching the mechanics of making biodiesel and contemplating buying a ready-to-assemble processor. It sounds like a great idea but I would like input from people who already have experience with this.( For example, is it easy to make or is it a hassel? Does it work well in your diesel engine? How much petrol diesel do you have to mix with it in the winter?) Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.

How do you make home made Algae Biodiesel?

Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

Hayden G asked:

I herd about this online and I though it would be really cool for my science fair. If only I had the slightest idea on how to do it. I found this book called, ‘Making Biodiesel from Algae at Home.’ You can ONLY buy it on the website and I just wanted to know some stuff like how long does it take and how much money before I spend $99. If anyone knows you’d REALLY be helping me out. Thank You

Saturday, November 22nd, 2008

Annie asked:

I got it from the natural market thinking it would cure my dry scalp. It doesn’t really help & smells weird. Anybody have any suggestions, maybe a hot oil treatment or something along those lines?
