Message: Alternative Energy Simplified  



OK complicate it. Keep playing the blame game, plenty of blame to go around, including you and I.
Or come up with new ideas and let's start a group to keep in contact, think expedentially thats 1, 2, 4, 8, 32, 645, 7000, 650000, 3000000 on rather than 1, 2 3 to 30.

I reside in Central America, the developing world, in 1995 there were a few thousand cell phones costing $125 average, today there are 6.1 million and some sell for $15/20 and work better than the 1995 models, same situation in Africa I've heard.

If we all wait for government grants and corporate sponsorship we'll still be depending on fossil fuels for a long long time...we've entered a new age...not complicated, just different.

The renewed interest in this field of study comes from the undesirable effects of pollution (as witnessed today) both from burning fossil fuels and from nuclear waste byproducts. Fortunately there are many means of harnessing energy which have less damaging impacts on our environment. Here are some possible alternatives:
