Oggy Boggy asked:


Wouldn’t it make more sense to call it “green,” “clean,” or “renewable” energy? Just what exactly is green energy an alternative to? Is it an alternative to global warming, dependency on fossil fuels, deforestation, depletion of the earth’s resources, extinction of several species, and acid rain? Is it an alternative to fighting wars over oil, oil lobbyists trying to run the show, and large corporations getting tax breaks and large subsidies? It doesn’t sound like an alternative to me; it sounds like a solution. What do you think?

I recently read that it might be possible to drill a hole down into the earth to a depth where the rock is naturally very hot, pump water into the drill hole and then power a turbine with the steam that is created to generate energy. (It’s like a DIY version of electricity generated from natural geysers). It’s clean and can be done almost anywhere. Has anyone heard of this? Is this a viable alternative energy?

Why did Jindal say we need more alternative energy, but then criticize the stimulus package’s contents of hyrbid cars for government workers and a magnetic rail line from Las Vegas to Disneyland? Maglev technology was just one more technology we lost to the Japanese and Chinese and could be a focus of our transportation needs.
So he is not for government spending on alternative energy either then? That’s not the impression I got from his speech.
