What do you think about utilizing alternate resources for energy resources?

Back in the day, I remember hearing about when they seemed to have used water as an energy type of source. They have used coal and nuclear power for the production of energy. Some people use wood burning as a useful heat source, but I'm kind of about utilizing resources that won't cause degradation of our natural resources. Reuse of methane gas for instance, is a recycling type of energy source sometimes used at sewer plants to power the plants. Now, they have come up with Wind Mill type of power sources and solar panels. Of course some people personally cannot afford to switch over to some of these non-degradation types of resources, which I can understand. But, some of your well established big companies that can afford it should learn to make the switch, in order to make an impact on the improvement of our natural resources. I started reading an article, on the solar alternative, and evidently you may be able to lease or take out loans on these types of upgrades. But I would be careful not to be spending more than you are paying in the first place for the monthly bill. Especially if you don't own your own home. There is also the possibility, that as time goes by, they will create better and cheaper ones.

IGoverments should give a bonus to those that change to sources of energy that donĀ“t hurt the planet.

I think in some places they may give a tax write off or something along that line. Or maybe a refund type of deal. But, I think unfortunately, many people can not afford to make that sacrifice out of their own pocketbook unfortunately.

@His_chariot I know. But those less affluent people use less energy than the rich.

I love that many companies are switching over to more enviornmentally friendly options! I hope in the future they will offer rebates or reduced cost pricing to switch over to energy saving options.

I think that may already be an option in some places. Thanks for sharing.

Wind power would be a lot cheaper or even solar power.

I like that as well. We the people need to think of ways to stop destroying our precious environment.

I am all for it. But as usual what might be the cost? That's where th implementation might be a problem.

@His_chariot That is so , but large business / factories are what is polluting and killing our environment. They love the quick profits. what makes you think they will be willing to sacrifice that? Can they see long term?

That is a problem for many folks, unfortunately. But, you know, like I said, some of these large successful organizations, should be able to accommodate this type of energy saving resources, and save on their financial end as well. At least in the long run they should be able to. If in fact they use a large amount of power for their business, I would think they could save in the first year, and it could be worth it immediately.

I would like my home to be powered by solar panels...but that isn't a option here yet.

Well, maybe there is a way...... Could be expensive though, whereas in the long run it could be an asset due to all the money it would save you to be generating your own power.
