    Alex welcomes back to the show Christopher Monckton, the 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley, British politician, business consultant, policy adviser, writer, columnist, inventor and ardent critic of the bogus scientific consensus on climate change. Climate scam guru Al Gore has for years refused to accept Monckton’s repeated challenge to a public debate on global warming. Monckton has warned the proposed UN Climate Change Treaty Obama is expected to sign along with other world leaders in Copenhagen will cede US sovereignity to the UN. scienceandpublicpolicy.org prisonplanet.tv

    Question by Mr J: How is alternative energy not “cost effective”?


    One of my friends was dismissing alternative energy sources, like solar panels on houses, because he said they were not “cost effective”. Hmm…

    Best answer:

    Answer by Jacky Xiao
    the amount of carbon is takes to make a solar panel creates approx. the same amount of pollution as normal energy usage

    As world leaders gather for the UN General Assembly and G20 summits climate change has been high on the international agenda. In a special programme Counting the Cost looks at the economics of going green and reports on pioneering policies to combat climate change, what still needs to be done and the costs involved.

    Question by aplpie: Solar Panel cost and how to pick the right ones?


    I am planning on putting solar panels on the roof of my house since i live in phoenix, AZ. We get a lot of sun and it only seems sensible to buy solar panels. A lot of poeple say that it costs like 15-20k to install them.

    I was wondering if someone knew if thats true, and how much would it cost and which ones should i install. I am very confused and it seems with the investment i will have to put in it, i should learn more about it.

    Thanks to everyone.

    I would contact a couple of local solar installers (both for PV and for hot water) and ask them. They’ll have a really good idea of what size systems you need, what the cost would be, and how long it would take to pay for itself. Plus, its a good way to start to interview contractors.

    Obviously, you can put as little or as much solar energy as you want on your house. To offset a large portion of your electricity use, though, a price of $ 15,000 to $ 20,000 doesn’t seem out of line. You can also look into solar water heating, which costs much less but only reduces your water heating energy.

    I’ve put a link below that I like for finding solar vendors.

    Good luck.

    HappyHandyman.net Pat Barber asks, “HOW MUCH DOES IT COST” to convert a car into an Electric-Gas-Hydrogen hybrid? Don’t wait for Toyota. 120+ mpg is here now. Pat, Dr. Steve Eaton and Ian Wickson talk how-to, safety, investment return and financing issues for Alternative Fuel Car Conversions. http REVConversions.com Ian’s Jeep CJ-7 has an Electric motor and a lead battery bank that can get 50 miles on a charge. What if you found a way to STAY PLUGGED IN? REV and Dr. Eaton have done just that with a gas electric generator on a trailer that keeps the Jeep’s battery pack topped off, fully charged. Then they went a step further and added a pair of water fuel cells that add hydrogen gas to the gas generator motor making the setup a electric-gas-water hybrid. What does that mean? Instead of getting only 50 miles of range from a charge and then having to stop for 4-8 hours and re-charge, you add 10 gallons of gas extend the range to over 1200 miles, netting over 120 mpg!

    Question by Mankan: Is it possible to create biofuel without the environmental cost of carbon emission and green house gas?

    Best answer:

    Answer by CT
    Biofuel is still a hydrocarbon fuel… it releases emissions when burned for energy. But the idea is that carbon released by biofuels is “new carbon”… carbon that was “recently” removed from the atmosphere by photosynthesis.

    This is in comparison to fossil fuels, which are the product of ancient accumulated plant material. When you burn a fossil fuel, you release carbon into the atmosphere that was naturally being stored and thus having no effect on climate.

    It isn’t a perfect solution, but it is a cleaner alternative. One of the “extra” problems with biofuels is that you need space, viable land, water, and energy to grow it. These are resources that could be used for actual food production.

    Question by ???????: Which is worse? The high cost of gasoline or the high cost of grains for biofuel?


    Either way not only do we have to struggle with the need of having fuel but also the struggle of groceries?

    Best answer:

    Answer by Helper
    High cost of grains – of course.

    If gasoline was high enough, we can car pool or conserve by bunching up few trips together.

    But if food prices are too high, then we can’t share a meal, bunch up few meal in to one meal, etc.

    Good Luck…

    Question by taren toomey: How much money would it cost if we used solar energy and kinetic energy to supply the united states?


    I need to know how much money it would cost to supply the entire united states with kinetic, wind, solar, and hydro-electric energy THANKS!!!! :)

    Best answer:

    Answer by candelaria
    Concentrating solar energy collectors with liquid salt heat storage for nights and cloudy days would need to cover about a 100 mile square area in a desert location to power the entire US including transportation. The total estimate for that to be built is around 10-12 trillion $ $ . If you figure we buy 100 billion $ $ worth of oil each year from foreign countries, spent upwards of $ 1 trillion on a useless war in a region rich in oil (don’t tell me oil had nothing to do with our being there, I don’t believe that) and will spend another $ 1 trillion paying for the health care of those wounded in that war, made enough enemies so we will have to spend another $ 1 trillion over the next few years fighting the muslims in the mideast and destroying our environment while making millions sick at a huge cost to the economy by continuing to burn coal I think $ 10 trillion would be a pretty good bargain.

    I came accross a new, proven and tested home made wind power system and solar power system which eliminates our electricity bills. It was written by a Renewable energy enthusiasts Michael Harvey the diy called Earth4energy. You can get your copy to save energy and help environment while eliminating your power bills.

    Question by Husko Avoirdupois: How much does it cost to produce solar power in contrast to oil or power, per watt?


    A citation would be great if you have it. Thanks. (And please don’t just say that you like solar power or something like that, I only want to know about the cost–it’s for a paper.)

    Best answer:

    Answer by drwer2
    In place, the cost for residential scale is about $ 10/watt installed by competent company.

    DIY by a competent person is about $ 6 per watt.

    average requirement for home is 2500 watts. BUT

    The industry has decided that the minimum system should be 3000 watts. (because there isn’t enough money in it otherwise to account for thier overhead).
