  1. This presentation is great, especially since it is done by or with young
    people. But it has some flaws.
    1. Hydro is not a real green energy since in most cases it destroys large
    areas of land.
    2. Nucleare is much too dangerous and the long term cost of taking care of
    waste is so expensive it is totally destructive to any economy and fusion
    is not fully developed yet.
    3. And the most important flaw in this presentation is that Solar, Wind and
    Geothermal are more expensive than fossil fuels is not true. The equipment
    cost came down by a factor of 100 in the last 20 years and in most cases
    less then that for fossil fuels. Especially if it would be produced in
    larger numbers. The fuel is free for the lifetime of the equipment but the
    most important cost saving is the environmental cost created by fossil
    fuels, which are never put in to the cost equation by the fossil fuel
    industry, are almost nil.
    The main reason for the false information about the cost and feasibility of
    alternative energy is that the fossil fuel industry will lose their
    monopoly grip on the market. The economic surplus will flow to the owners
    of many small installations and not to only a few greedy people on the top.
    Alternative energy will create a real democracy to the masses and eliminate
    the capitalistic hierarchy of a few.
    The business model is community owned coops including the distribution grid
    to rise the funds for the installation costs but then redistribute the
    financial gains back to the investors, the people. Which in return will
    create buying power for this people and with this create a real healthy
    economy.

  2. Found the cheapest option for me find all about costs learn more about how
    much spending and what and how you should do..You can build your own Solar
    Panels, saving more then $1,000’s off of retail price visit
    FREEENERGYGENERATION.PIXUB.COM

  3. I was one of those who never had the courage But now that we have managed
    to build a solar panel and have advanced in knowledge and think make money
    from it not only saves It is unbelievable You can find here
    ABOUTSOLARCELLS.COMXA.COM all the tips guidance …. will learn how to
    build end help build keeping in touch with them and THOSE with EXPERIENCE
    help them find what they need and guiding is one of the best in the market
    believe me ABOUTSOLARCELLS.COMXA.COM

  4. Beautiful presentation, even though we do spend more for less in green
    energy, I think the benefit and the long term pay out should exceed the
    current expense. This looks to be a school project, but great life lessons
    to remember for you and all that watch it.
