What are the best sources for someone to learn more about renewable energy? What renewable energy source do you reckon is ideal? What articles/books/podcasts/etc do you recommend on the subject? What do you reckon America’s plot should be in making a more sustainable world?

Fossil fuels is the only source that mother nature has built in a process to automatically recycle the Corbin that is in the foliage. The fossil’s is the sow foliage and the earth has been recycling it for millions of years. That is where the present source of fossil fuels came from.

The internet is an incredible tool. As mentioned previously ,Union of Concerned Scientists of which I belong. Leonardo Energy, Earth Justice, Earth First, and Fixing the Earth are all excellent resources and chocked full of information and like minded people keen to help and educate.
At present there are many renewables vying for the front seat and only the future and research monies will tell. Bio mass looks promising if we can nail down the processing expenditure. Wind and solar need a shot in the arm for efficiency. Nuclear, heaven forbid as far as I’m concerned may become a player again.
There are bounty of blogs out there where a person can glean enough useful information without leave-taking your chair. Become part of the answer and you will learn exponentially, I guarantee it.
The US needs to heed the IPCC and make some sacrifices. The upper incite system in this country is stacked with eco unfriendlies,Thanks to G.W. which makes it very hard to win environmental suitcases in this day and age. I reckon a reform is in order, the checks and balance system is out of balance. More research money and grants need to be slated for private individuals, to utilize and further the advancement of GREEN power.

Wind power,must be among the favourites. After all it is free,and i would hope with us for a long time. If the winds did go back,some units could be removed,so leave-taking more wind for persons remaining.

Here’s a cool site about renewable energy you should delight in:http://www.ucsusa.org/clean_energy/renew…
I reckon that solar and wind power are both excellent, but they will only be partial players in our energy manufacture in the future. Geothermal power and perhaps wave/tidal power could be pretty huge as they are considered base load powers, meaning there is really now down time like for solar or wind. Also nuclear power will probably have to be pretty huge in the future if we want to ween ourselves off of fossil fuel.
