Environment - August 2007

I checked on mapquest for stations that produce alternative fuels and I only found one station in south florida that carries biodiesel fuel. That particular station is far from where I live, so how can we get one in our area? Also, do cars need any modifications for this alternative fuel?

why didn't the "experts" figure it out when they came up with global cooling in the 70's? the samples of the earth are the same. it should show the same temperature patterns now as then.

makes you wanna say HMMMMM.....

He says some of the world's largest carbon polluters are funding a large public misinformation campaign about global warming being a non issue?

Do you believe him?

I am.

I’m willing to bet New York, LA, San Francisco, Washington DC, New Orleans, Heck any of them that Gore is a bag of hot air, how about you?

What’s the worse that could happen, a little water in the streets? Well that would put most of the co2 causing autos out of commission now wouldn’t it? See you get the best of both, less cars, and ocean front brownstones. What more could you want.

That's right, Al Gore, Aug 5 and 6 had the all-time LOWEST maximums since record-keeping began in 1877. Weather predictions based on long-term models indicate more cool weather "over the longer period." But I am sure that this doesn't count as much as someplace that has been warmer than normal does it?

It's been my experience that most people can't accurately identify 10 plants, birds, animals, etc. in their area. Doesn't increased awareness of local wildlife translate into a general awareness of environmental issues?

I live near Virginia Beach and the beach water is really warm. Is that a bad sign of global warming?

I see a lot of Solar advocates here and in the media. I looked into it and found it impossible for me because of cost. I looked at a simple 3 Kilowatt, 16 Panel system which is tied to my electric company grid so all I produce just reduces my bill. The cost installed is about $20,000.

I did some research on life of equipment, hours of sunlight, etc., and figure I can only reliably get a max. of about 20 Kilowatt-Hours (KWH) a day 70-80 percent of the time, or about 5000-6000 KWH a year. I assumed a 10 year life of the equipment.

I pay about 10 cents/ KWH for my power, so the system will save me maybe $600/year.

This is rediculous. The system cost me $3000/year (2000 depreciation and 1000 interest @ 5%). The system will never pay itself off. Even if I cut the cost in half, it will not come close to reasonable power costs.

How can anyone promote this as a viable alternative? Maybe it will when power costs on the grid quadruple or more.

Answer me if you will, the first step in working together on ANY of these supposed environmental issues, of GW, Alliterative fuels, conservation or climate change, the first step in my view, is to shut Al Gore up. To remove the moron from all public debates, issues, forums etc. As long as he is the “spokesman” for the green team, I will have no part of it. Zero tolerance of his hypocrisy is my requirement to start the debate. What say you?

I've heard that it takes 70-80 times the amount of energy to manufacture a CFL as it does a conventional light bulb. Is this true? Also, I've heard that the old CFLs in the landfills contain far more toxic matter than regular light bulbs. Is the CFL campaign just a scam?
