Green Green Business

Is it possible that the planet is not really suffering from the green house effect rather the sun’s solar energy is increasing in temperature. The longer a fire burns, the hotter it’s temperature…I remember studying in school that stars eventually burn out…is "our" sun just going through cycles which we can’t really control and the "green" efforts on our part will not stop the green house effect - regardless??

Ethanol has caused world hunger and is a net .02 loss per gallon. It takes 1 gallon of gasoline to create 1.23 gallons of Ethanol, but Ethanol only get 75% of the same energy. Your car goes 20 mpg with Gas and only 15mpg with Ethanol. So do the math and you get .98 energy per 1 unit of energy. Corn ethanol is a net loss in energy and is causing world hunger as supplies are used in our cars and not in the third world stomachs.

Hydrogen is retrieved from Natural Gas causing a release of Green house gases.

A mass produced viable electric car is not being produced.

All in all it will take decades to transform our economy from oil to alternatives. So we need to drill now, drill here and get the energy our economy and our cars need now. Ethanol from corn and food crops needs to be abandon, only sugar is able to get a 6 gallons per gallon of gas ratio. Guess what senators are against sugar and for corn???
The Democrats in 1981 prohibited offshore drilling in all except western Gulf of Mexico. The Democrats last year add prohibition on drilling "shale oil" on federal lands. This is years of building walls to stop the nations oil exploration and expansion. This didn’t come in the last 7 years.

About two years ago I was at Penn State University (Fayette Campus!) and I watched a program via satellite from the United Kingdom. The theme of this wonderful program was energy conservation, preventing global warming, and the like. I remember many posh accents, a very cool rock star that lived in the most eco-friendly house (to save water, he said, he’d "shower with the ladies.") I also remember that the original program was set up for a bunch of British students in uniform.

Does anyone know what program this is? Or even if you know of any British rockstars with green houses and golden toilets, it would be nice if you informed me. I have been searching for this program and this rocker for a while, but obviously I am out of luck since I hardly remember the important details of it.

Oh, I do remember that the rockstar looked a lot like Protazoa from the Disney Zenon movies. That’s an embarassing fact; but if it helps I’m glad.

Vegetable plants in biodegradable pots,t-shirts partailly made with recycled plastic, Green Works to clean with,cold water Tide,( you can forget all that your grandmother told you about how well warm water washes clothes) and G.E."energy smart" bulbs just to name a few .Did Al Gore just buy tons of stock in Walmart?

Anyone with a home of over 10,000 square feet must modify the home to be powered solely on solar power or wind power.

After all, every little bit helps, and people who live in 10,000 plus square foot houses have huge carbon footprints due to their heating and power requirements. If every house over that size was powered by green energy, it would definitely reduce pollution, dependence on oil/coal, etc.

If you support efforts to reduce carbon emissions, do you also support this suggestion? If not, why not?
I’m not suggesting that we allow carbon offsets. I’m suggesting that if Global Warming is real, then Al Gore and Sheryl Crow and others who live in giant homes should have no issue with modifying them to be completely green. No credits available.
smcgilli….. you must have missed my point.

The people clamoring for us to use one sheet of toilet paper, and turn the heat down to 67 degrees, live in 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000 square foot mansions. My suggestion is, if they are right and global warming is going to kill the planet, then they should have no objection to turning their luxury homes completely green. Right? Wanna bet how fast they’d sidestep this….?
sarge — you missed the point too…. you’re talking about what’s "fair." What would be "fair" is if Sheryl Crow and Al Gore HAD THE SAME CARBON FOOTPRINT AS YOU AND ME. People in 10,000 square foot homes in Malibu, and private villas, and airports in their front yards, are telling you and me that WE have to spend money greening out homes, but they don’t green theirs. WE have to drive hybrid cars and bio-diesel, they say - but they fly in jets 100 times per year — WE have to use one square of toilet paper, and THEY make sure their entourages and themselves are bathed in luxuries while on "tour" and making movies (which are pure luxuries - and major pollution sources).

I need some PowerPoint templates with a "going green" theme. anyone know where i could find any?

computer will not power up all of a sudden and I heard a "ticking" sound that came from the back from a little green light blinking under the power connector. What does this indicate? thanks
It is not internet, in fact nothing is connected and this light is the size of a pencil eraser as it is round.

Hi, I just purchased a replacement power supply for my HP Pavilion 8655C, but the new power supply is missing a 3-prong inline female connector (black/green/black) that plugs into the motherboard, and I'm wondering if I need it or not. Can anyone tell me what it's for? Thanks.
It says "PS FAN" on the motherboard. But I'm confused by that, since I hear the Power Supply Fan running without anything plugged into this spot. Also, my processor doesn't even have its own fan. This is a mystery to me!

For a school project (AP environmental), we have to design and construct a model of a "green"/energy-efficient house. we need 60 (yes, sixty!) eco-friendly/green/energy-efficient components in the house.
ANY IDEAS??? thank you lots!! so far i have:
-adobe walls (control temp, cheap, eco-friendly)
-solar panels
-rainwater collection
-greywater recycling
-rain garden
-xeriscaping
