Who says Green Jobs is too expensive? Well apparently Germany has come up with a way to make things easier when it comes to green energy. The very cheap energy source now being used there at a power plant which is also a waste facility. Yes, the energy is sewage and although gross seems like the perfect source to slowly wheen ourselves off expensive sources of energy or even leave it as is. Why the expensive energy sources?

i think its a cop out honestly.. yeah it might be expensive to start the change to green jobs but i think once set up things would break even and the long term affects are worth the pain in the butt changes now.. but eh no one wants to do extra now or spend extra now so we have a good future it seems

Can you imagine the amount of money that will be lost from the oil industry it's self if we can just change the use of that only pollutant. You read that we can get this energy replaced by the use of corn or other renewable gains, what you never hear is how much the processing of such replacements contributes to world pollution. Wind is a good source of energy, but the manufacturing of the equipment used in this is also very polluting. Solar is the one thing that seems to have a great deal of attention being given to find a green way to collect it. If this becomes possible it could be cheap and provide many manufacturing jobs as this energy becomes more popular, but the ones loosing money will fight this any way they can.

for me the protection of the earth is more important than money. also it seems like i' hear of different sources of alternative energy on a regular basis. theres just so many other sources to use energy. examples are getting evergy from ocean waves and some guy actually came up with a way to make energy from the air it self. the guy was on fox news but that the only thing i've heard about such a thing. another great example is a plamas converter a guy has been working on over 20 years. the plama converter that can turn just about anything into energy you feed it such as garbage. just thing of all the garbage laying around polluting the earth that the plasma converter can turn into energy instead of just disposing it in landfields. thanks for responding.
