See http://gregable.com/2007/09/apartment-solar-what-is.html

I want to buy a solar panel and some other device X that will let me smoothly power appliances from X. X will use power from the solar panel first, and then from the grid if there isn't enough. I don't want a battery system due to the costs, if there is too much power from solar, I'll just waste it in this system. What is X that I would need to buy or how would I build X?

If someone were to install severall wind turbines on the hood of a carm and just used a little bit of fuel to get it started, thw turbines would spin supplying endless energy to a car. Wouldn't that work?

Hi, Well I have a family of four and month after month we notice that the power bill amount keeps getting higher but we are still using the same amount of power. So my question is: I was wondering if anyone knows a good solar-system company in Miami that sells solar-systems that I can use to power my aircondioting and house. But the most important thing is that I want it to power my airconditioning because I noticed that my airco's use alot of power.
And also it would help if the company exports the solar-system if you buy it.

I remember reading about a new technology that uses the energy imparted by pedestrians on a sidewalk to power the overhead lights. How much energy can really be harnessed from human activity? for example, Could one man turn a crank for a few hours to power a battery of somesort that can be used for practical power?

Mainly, I want to know things like:
Do I have to buy/make an extra fuel tank/ engine conversion? How much will that cost?
Are there engines that can run two of the above or all three?
What steps do I have to take to obtain the fuel (I live in Sacramento)? How much will the fuel cost? Will I be saving money, or just the environment?
How much pollution do any of these fuels create?

Think about all the two-sided print papers we use everyday, and how we always only use one side, so how about all those other sides that never gets used?? they just go to waste, so we really should support the use of one sided papers!!! Go buy one-sided papers in your local store today, and save the environment.
