and invest in clean energy at home and abroad. The president's 21-page climate change initiative has been a long time coming for many who felt that Obama's rhetoric on climate change has been more bark than bite.

During his State of the Union in February he promised to come through with executive actions to reduce pollution increase protection against the damage caused by climate change and transition us to cleaner energy sources.

and expand clean energy use. Americans across the country are already paying the price of inaction he noted in his Georgetown speech.

At home the plan calls for greater use of clean energy and for the U s. to double its power from wind

and solar energy partially through permitting more renewable energy generation on public lands. Over the next seven years all government agencies will shift to consume at least 20 percent of their energy from renewable sources like wind and solar.

However he did not indicate that we would be weaned off fossil fuels anytime soon and neatly sidestepped the issue of the controversial Keystone XL pipeline.

and Kansas anyway--Republican opposition to cleaner energy hurts their constituents there. As The New york times puts it Congress has shown no appetite for dealing with global warming

and its attendant energy challenges in a comprehensive way. Speaker of the House John Boehner's response to the new plan:

either and Obama talking about cleaner energy without backing that $2 billion up with infrastructure money that would support his new cleaner energy sources like solar then he is just squandering

Besides more regulatory control over energy companies and ensuring that no new reactors come online to offset energy costs due to more strict regulations he is simply trying to put more nails in the economic coffin that is our economy.

what he says will be the most favorable energy source on the planet by his estimates generating as much as 3000 times the electricity generated worldwide today.

***Michaud has always been intrigued by alternative energy. Decades ago while he was still working for Exxonmobil he started thinking about the vast power potential of rising air.

He theoretically worked through the process of capturing energy via water vapor that would condensate as air rose

but calculated that too much energy would be lost in the process to make it worthwhile. It was then that he realized that building a controlled vortex

because it would be easier to capture the energy of moving air via a turbine than to capture the energy involved in condensation.

Higher up the wind speed of the tornado will spin the wheels of attached turbines generating energy.

In the models he's created so far he's used energy sources to heat up the air that is fed into the bottom of a vortex

But if he were to partner with power plants that initial energy investment wouldn't be necessary.

Power plants already generate waste energy via heat. An AVE would use the waste energy to begin

and maintain a vortex. Adding that capacity would increase output of the power plant by 10 to 20 percent without using any additional fuel Michaud theorizes.

By his reasoning the total energy potential of convection from the bottom of the atmosphere upward is 52000 terawatts.

Michaud argues that his method of energy generation is actually safer than most other electricity-generating methods like coal-fired power plants which are contributing to global warming

and hopes to just get enough to prove the technology's worth to larger companies in the energy sector.

Michaud answered that he would be able to increase the amount of energy available per person worldwide an accomplishment that could ultimately improve living standards and fight poverty.

More carbon use by humans (access to cheap energy) is correlated directly to decreasing poverty and sickness. ppardee here's some more ammo for you.

It hurts most everyone else especially those in developing nations who are told they can only use green (inefficient) energy sources

They measured the black carbon's radiative forcing âÂ#Âa metric for how much extra energy the Earth

@mike13323 Solar panels pay back there energy usage in two years but last 40+years. About 85%of the oxygen comes from the oceans.

There is also the large energy debt they come with. As far as AGW proponents are concerned that means extra carbon burned

in order to produce this non-carbon energy source. After 30+years of this stuff the solar panels are just starting to break even on that front.

I want the our energy to be cleaner and safer for the environment however until technology catches up with fossil fuels it's prudent to scale back slowly and responsibly.

#Over Time, Nuclear power Would Kill Fewer People Than Petroleumusing nuclear power for energy instead of coal has prevented almost 2 million pollution-related deaths around the world

The same holds for nuclear power vs. other energy sources. The*real*risk of a nuclear power disaster is far less than the*(mis) perceived*risk.

--and that includes Anyclon who refuses to believe that nuclear power is less risky than most other sources of energy.

far surpassing any deaths that could be caused by any other energy. That is why nuclear energy is rightly known as the most dangerous energy in the world.

Here is the link to the Symposium: www. totalwebcasting. com/view/?/id=hcf@Listenup 1. Coal Ash Is More Radioactive than Nuclear Waste http://www. scientificamerican. com/article. cfm?

I do agree we shall go for clean renewable energy however their efficiency is not high enough yet.

I think nuclear fission energy will be suitable as a transitional substitution mean while. 3. Let's hope we can have feasible nuclear fusion energy soon.

Why can't they take nuclear fuel rods into space and drop them to burn up in reentry to atmosphere?

Solar and amazing energy storage technologies are advancing exponentially. By the time one more nuclear plant is built the materials based energy revolution will change the face of energy production foreverchernobyl may have caused almost 1 million deaths according to a recent study.

Fukushima is expected by Dr. Helen Caldicott M d. to cause at least 1 million deaths by cancer due to radioactivity already released.

and business was energy independent how much stronger free-er society would be in the USA

people what you need to take a look at is energy density. Yes you could replace every watt of energy production with wind and solar...

but you would destroy cover and disrupt 100's millions of acres of forest deserts plains lands mountains beachesetc.

Americans Want More Energy From Wind Solar Gasno fewer than two in three Americans want the U s. to put more emphasis on producing domestic energy using solar power (76%)wind (71%)and natural gas (65%.

As for the Gallup poll Listenup it says nothing about what forms of energy Americans want to prioritize.

It simply shows that Americans want the country to produce more energy from all of the sources named.

56%In other words generally speaking Americans want to become energy independent through ALL THE resources at our disposal. http://www. gallup. com/file/poll/161525/Energy sources 130327. pdfthis is absolutely true

First of all I would like to point out that without fossil fuels I would think none of us would ever need to question energy production.

if anything is to happen with nuclear stuff China might be in the news. People need to consider our world realities when thinking about alternate energies.

but in one other story that was discussing future concepts of skyscrapers one was harnessing noise pollution to create energy another was using volcanos
