In case you missed it: Alternative energy has been a hot topic in recent years, as it has been heavily debated in both the political and investing world. Some feel that America’s energy independence relies on the expanded use of alternative sources, while others disagree with that sentiment. " Environmental and Urban Economics is in the "General" category: "The following blogs broadly discuss the alt energy world."

Finding a viable alternative energy source to create low cost bio energy may be closer than we think. Some of these sources include energy from trash and algae as fuel for our future energy needs. Another alternative energy source, comes from a “product” usually discarded as a waste substance: urine. Read more on alternative energy ideas: Algae returns as fuel for our future.

As our energy needs rise, as our supplies of fossil fuels run out and as the state of our planet become more precarious, we increasingly need to look at alternative energy sources to meet our requirements and to allow our modern lifestyles. Solar Energy. The sun, a huge burning ball of hydrogen, outputs vast amounts of energy every second. Even the minute fraction that falls on the Earth’s surface is more than enough to supply all our energy needs.

Self-sufficiency of the alternative energy sources such as peat, waste wood and forest residue will replace the region’s current major imports of coal and fuel oil, on which the region spends “huge money”.

Wind turbines are hailed as a environmentally friendly source of renewable energy. Many bird species migrate along traditional routes, known as flyways; birds expend less energy flying where winds updraft, making longer distances more manageable. If wind-energy projects are located in sensitive habitat, the damage is magnified. And while gales will continue to blow and generate power, there are hidden costs.

You might wonder that the reverse would have better for an energy starved world. But look at it this way – alternative energy sources like solar and wind have long struggled with feasible ways to store the energy they generate during the day for use at night. Does it defeat the purpose of using greenhouse reducing alternative energy in the first place? The use of microbes negates this and gives a low cost option for efficient transfer of energy.
