Why couldn't power plants be replaced with "people power", people peddling bicycles for energy or something similar?
I mean, if it could provide a decent amount of electicity, wouldn't it create jobs too?
I want to know the physics behind this. Why isn't it doable?

The word "dominion" in the Book of Genesis could be updated to "lominion," the Loving Dominion we really want, by those asking for divine intervention (not just in Georgia) in our bad habits as poor caretakers of the environment.

Just to get away from the debating for a little bit, I think it would be fun to list some suggestions for small changes we can make to lessen our impact. I'm not talking about major things (or seriously debatable!) things like buying a Hybrid or living off the grid. Just simple every day things that we can easily do. It all adds up.

I'll start..

Bring a reusable mug with you when you get coffee.
Use a water filter instead of buying bottled water.
Line or rack dry clothes instead of using a dryer.
Switch from chemical cleaners to earth friendly products.
Use cloth instead of paper towels and napkins.

is it refer to structure of alkyl esters having only one alkyl group?
or it means that the resulting ester is made only of one alkyl esters

then, which statement is correct"

1. mixture of methyl ester and ethyl esters cannot be considered biodiesel because it is poly-alkyl esters

or

I am a water system distribution operator in the Atlanta, GA area. As most of the country knows...the south is in a severe drought and as a result, all outdoor watering in my area has been banned. I never realized how much water was being used for lawns, car washing, etc. (non-human consumption) until the ban went into effect. I find the following information a little shocking and sad at the same time...Before the outside water ban, the facility where I work was treating and pumping out about 18 million gallons a day and then AFTER the ban was implemented, we are only treating and pumping out between 7-9 million gallons a day!!! So that means more than HALF the water was being used for things other than human consumption / need!!! I find that amazing and disturbing at the same time. More water is being used for pretty lawns and clean cars? Our water use can not be much different than the rest of the country...mostly for non-human consumption if it is like our facility. Interesting???

Would we still have to import any oil or would our domestic production be enough to cover our non-gasoline oil needs.

Is this something that is a natural occurrence, over 100,000 years that we cannot track, or is it something we cause? Many claims have been struck out over and over again saying something else is causing it. Everyday I hear something different is causing it. Is the earth tilting getting ready to flip the magnetic poles causing this? What are your thoughts?

I know global warming exists, but I want to have a deeper knowledge. Some people say "The cause of global warming is not humans." I want to be able to prove that they're wrong.
I need reliable sources and names of scientists. If you help me, I'll really appreciate that.

Do Cell Phone Towers and the communication waves they produce really screw up bee's navigation systems? If so will this cause a global catastrophy if the bee's become exstinct because of their confusion and inability to hunt for food and bring it back to the hive? Are other animals such as birds or butterflies affected by Cell Phone Towers? If in fact Cell phone towers are causing the global extinction of bee's, a valuable part of our planet, should we limit or outlaw cell phone towers in protected areas around the world or simply band cell phones and the distructive towers like the use and production of nuclear arsonals?

I know it does not produce green house gases.
But it does produce nuclear waste. And after 40 years of producing nuclear waste we still do not have a place to store it for the next 40,000 years that it will take to degrade into something non-toxic. Lets get real here.

"Building a Toyota Prius causes more environmental damage than a Hummer that is on the road for three times longer than a Prius. As already noted, the Prius is partly driven by a battery which contains nickel. The nickel is mined and smelted at a plant in Sudbury, Ontario. This plant has caused so much environmental damage to the surrounding environment that NASA has used the ‘dead zone’ around the plant to test moon rovers. The area around the plant is devoid of any life for miles...
All of this would be bad enough in and of itself; however, the journey to make a hybrid doesn’t end there. The nickel produced by this disastrous plant is shipped via massive container ship to the largest nickel refinery in Europe. From there, the nickel hops over to China to produce ‘nickel foam.’ From there, it goes to Japan. Finally, the completed batteries are shipped to the United States, finalizing the around-the-world trip required to produce a single Prius battery."

Inconvenient Truth!

A simple 'Yes' or 'No' will suffice.
