Ninfa Asby: Electricity's the best, because you don't need any special processes with enzymes or screwing up food prices, or government subsidies.
Phillip Modafferi: Also depends whether you live in a subdivision and the contracts that you sign about the land. If so, then it's most likely the subdivisions..
Darwin Ecton: It depends on the laws where you live. In the US the owner of land has the mineral rights, too.
Herma Ellebrecht: Lets say i have a land and i find oil there, will it be my oil or the govrements oil. Just wondering . The best answer will earn 10 points. Thanks.
Stanton Valdivia: Most alternative fuels have their pros and consFor example electric cars have a very short range, and yeah you'll save a boatload on gas but remember that your electric bill will skyrocket. Also all that electricity probably comes from oil burning power plants.Hydrogen Cars suffer because there are very little hydrogen stations in the country. The hydrog! en what we use to power those cars we get from natural gas which is not a renewable resource.Cars that run on E85 Ethanol have engines that are more costly to produce than regular gas engines. Besides it requires a lot of land and water to grow corn to provide the country with the millions of gallons of gas that we use.Not to mention, all of these alternative fuel vehicles are much more expensive than conventional gas cars....Show more
Morris Olexy: Compressed air. short range though.
Corey Rohleder: As far as you owe your land to the bank, is not yours. But if you paid off your land is yours...
Vern Serratos: Bio diesel - smells like french fries...mmmm...french fries....Actually a cousin of mine converted his dad's old diesel Volvo to bio-fuel and drove it across the US last year. He ran a bit short on oil to burn a couple times but otherwise did fine - and yes it really did smell like french fries....mmmm...frenchfries
Marquetta Gimm: It depends ! if you have the mineral rights.
Dorine Nurre: pao d hist! orianHydrogen is a great option for the concept of free energy. I built my first hydrogen cell about 5 years ago. Have converted over 50 vehicles in the last 10 years (gydrogen and EV) and now currently run 2 trucks (and another EV), my home hot water heater, home stove and home generator on hydrogen for free with caught rain water and the help of a $10 solar panel. I offer a step by step DIY guide to walk anyone interested threw the process. You can find it at www agua-luna com or you can email me.There are basically 3 safe ways to make and use it... chemically, electrically and molecularly, the first 2 being easier so I'll only discuss them here. The fallowing steps were taking directly out of a DIY guide I offer to those who would like to run their vehicles or home on hydrogen safely. The entire guide is available at www agua-luna com On demand h2 generators are a bit different from the Hollywood versions like seen Chain Reaction with Keanu Reeves, that tend to e! xplode violently every time a film is being made. However when used in an on-demand system there is no storage of hydrogen and oxygen in its gas form, only liquid (water) and is only transformed into gas “on-demand†in small cylinder size amounts. It’s actually safer then gasoline as it doesn’t evaporate, creating explosive fumes in the tank like gas. Chemically 1. You’ll need a 6inch x 1ft schedule 40 pvc pipe. With pvc cement glue a cap on the bottom and use a screw on cap for the top. Drill a small hole (1/4inch or so) in the side close to the top, screwing in a small copper shut off valve. Place a few feet of stranded (food grade is good) flex hose to the valve and into the air intake of your engine (carburetor or fuel injections). 2. Now crunch up a couple aluminum cans (beer cans, soda cans etc) and drop them into the pvc pipe, along with a couple cups of lye (Red Devil drain opener has lye in it, some Clorox and Drano’s do to). 3. Then simply ! add water, screw on the top and wait a few minutes. What happens in ! simplicity is that aluminum and lye don’t really get along so they battle, and as always the innocent civilians (water H2O) that the most casualties, by giving up its hydrogen and oxygen. This then builds up in the void of the pipe and is ready to be vented into your engine, by opening the valve. You may need to start your engine on gas then switch it off after the hydrogen starts burning. Electrical is a bit easier then Chemically. 1. Simply take a small solar panel 1.5 amps is what I use ($9 at harborfreight.com), connect the 2 wires from the panel +- to 2 conductors (carbon cores of batteries work well, just be careful removing it from the jacket), but any conductive material will work ie. Copper, aluminum, steel, etc. 2. Drop the wires into a water tank (I use 55gal drums), make sure they don’t touch each other. 3. Drill a small hole (1/4inch or so) in the side close to the top, screwing in a small copper shut off valve. Place a few feet of stranded (foo! d grade is good) flex hose to the valve and into the air intake of your engine (carburetor or fuel injections). 4. Then simply add water, screw on the top cap and wait. After a few hours tiny bubbles will form and rise off one conductor (that’s hydrogen) and even smaller bubbles that just looks like foam will rise off the other (oxygen). I don’t remember which likes the positive and which likes the neg hydrogen or the oxygen. The third method is more complicated and is what I use for my vehicles. It’s just a modified Joe’s Cell, there’s a step by step DIY guide available to walk you threw the process here www agua-luna comIt also covers the other 2 methods described in more detail.www agua-luna comHope this helped, feel free to contact me personally if you have any questions if you’d like assistance in making your first self sufficient steps, I’m willing to walk you step by step threw the process. I’ve written several how-to DIY guides available at ! www agua-luna com on the subject.

Dick Ovdenk: Changing where the electricity comes from would be an excellent place to start. So would going to alternative fuel sources for cars. Most cars can be easily converted to run on alternative fuels without having to buy a hybrid. However, getting the power company to rework their plants is difficult. Almost as difficult as getting the car manufactures to put together the car fuel conversion kits and the Fuel Companies to switch to! alternative fuels.Until we can get these companies to "go green," the logical alternative is to do what we can to "go green" and make them pay attention. By practicing conservation where we can, we not only do a small part to help the environment, we also help to support a movement to get these companies to listen to us and "go green."It really takes little effort if you look at things logically. If you do not like turning off the lights you aren't using, then switch to lightbulbs that last longer, burn cooler and then you won't be wasting as much by leaving them on. If you don't want to buy new energy efficient appliances, then plan their usuage better. With a little careful planning, you can keep what you have and still "go green."In the end, you will find that for a little effort on your part, you will save money and enjoy a healthier way of life.But I do agree with you that if the power company would simply switch to an alternative fuel source for electricity, it w! ould make things much simpler....Show more
Phillip Modafferi: I h! ear milk is good.
Russ Kiernan: Best: Battery-electric with lithium-ion or preferably nickel metal-hydride batteries.Most preferred: This biodiesel / ethanol bullshit.Most hyped by big car companies to distract from the truth: Hydrogen.Most actually sold and driven by ppl who think they're making a difference but really are not much: Hybrids....Show more
Toby Women: If there is a oil vein under your property it might spread over a large area so an oil company might purchase a plot a land adjacent to your property. If it is just cheaper for them to do so. However, if you own all the property over the vein you could make a small fortune. Think of it is way, You are standing a puddle you are your piece of land and the puddle represents the vein oil below you. Meaning unless you are a HUGE man then the company can just buy the land around you and have access to the vein of oil....Show more
Seema Hosfeld: its easy to start: buy things in bulk, think of the ! amount of packaging, using reusable shopping bags, join a local group like freecycle instead of automatically buying more things. change your lightbulbs. drive at 55mph (driving at 65mph and over uses at least 15% more gas), turn off lights and things you arent using.
Isaias Badgley: Not unless you own the mineral rights, and most likely you do not.
Bryant Pillitteri: I had to laugh when I read your details. Turn off all the lights? But of course! I turn off lights in rooms I'm not using. I turn off any radio I'm not listening to or TV I'm not watching. Why would I run up my own electric bill? Green or not, I'm the one who pays the energy bill, so I strive to keep it low. You know you can't please everyone. The ones who want to harvest lumber are up against the ones who want to protect the spotted owl, The ones who want wind power are up against the protectors of migratory birds. The ones who want to drill for oil in the Alaskan wilderness are up against...well! , you get the idea. Until we can become of one mind, not much progess ! will be made. What will it take?...Show more
Clay Lipira: WVO.Cheaper at $1.00 a gallon.
Debora Soliani: I prefer Diesel. Next would be Electric. I drive long distances and don't have a lot of money, so the electric is out of question for me.
Lawanna Livsey: I could Actually use person who makes use of much less gasoline it does no longer subject how a lot it holds there may be such factor as a gasoline station peeps!Anyways that also is helping the atmosphere!! LOL
Torri Tippey: I think people need to start slow, don't go out & buy a new appliance when the one you have is fine. Stop being a slave to consumerism & that would be a good start.
Sherita Gallati: actual motorcycles do like alcohol. I had an 'eighty one CB750 custom and each spring i might pour a bottle of isopropyl alcohol in the gas tank and take it for an prolonged journey. I by no skill had to have the carburetors re-worked because of the fact of gumming. I did the comparable to! a pair different motorcycles that I actual have owned.
Lu Tiner: how about making it illegal to drive or fly. everyone must ride a bike or horse.
Kenneth Thuesen: I want to go electric. Liquid fuels of any kind require carbon, and the engines are noisy and have the potential for pollution.Besides, what other "fuel" can you make with a panel on your roof, or a windmill spinning at the top of a tower?
Christy Tirabassi: Just plain fossil fuels as the plants will recycle it.
Brian Marquina: I would go with electric energy, which is efficient and can be created from a variety of sources that will never run out, or will stay for a long time.ex-wind, geothermal, hydro, solar, etc
Asa Soho: When I perform electrolysis of water, I can see bubbles of water rising.If I want to convert this gaseous hydrogen into some liquid fuel like methanol or something else, how to do it?
Particia Thorton: sounds cool, you should put your ideas to work.
Barrett Felicia: The possible alternatives are electric, biofuels, and hydrogen. Among these, electric is undoubtedly the most promising.Biofuels are good because the carbon released by burning them was taken out of the atmosphere by the plants, so in that sense there's no net emissions. However, you still have to put the energy into growing the biofuel crops. On top of that, you need to use more land for growing crops so that you have enough for biofuels and food, which means less land for grassland and forests.For this reason, a study recently found that ethanol from corn and even switchgrass will contribute more to global warming than gasoline.http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=Avwj1...There are still good biofuels - for example using waste vegetable oil or creating ethanol from garbage (as discussed in the link above), but on ! a large scale, biofuels are simply not feasible.Hydrogen could theoretically be a green fuel, but the problem is where to get the hydrogen from. Currently it mostly comes from natural gas, and the process emits as much CO2 as burning the natural gas itself for fuel, so there's no benefit. Theoretically you can get hydrogen from water by running a current through it, but with current technologies it takes far more energy to break the atomic bonds than you get by burning the hydrogen as fuel.Plus there's no infrastructure to transport and store the hydrogen at refueling stations, and such an infrastructure would cost billions of dollars to build.Electric cars are far more promising. The technology is advancing rapidly, and several reasonably affordable EVs with decent range and highway speed capabilities will be available within the next year or two (for example, the Miles Javlon, Aptera typ-1e, and ZAP Alias). On top of that, because of the efficiency of large power plan! ts and electric motors, studies have shown that even with the current U! S power grid mix (52% coal), EVs would emit less greenhouse gases than gas cars, hybrids, and even plug-in hybrids. And you can always build more renewable power plants to make the power grid greener. Plus the infrastructure (power grid) is already in place....Show more
Irvin Guiles: Most far fetched answers I've ever seen. How bout starting with an electric grid that runs off wind and using electric cars? That'll avoid having to get all new appliances, the latest hybrid, turning off all the lights...etc..
Violette Vanek: I'm in favor of Bio-methane. I know it's kind of an unheard of fuel, but one worthy of taking note of. Bascially, it's made from anything that decays. In our application here, we're capturing waste gas from the manure at a small local dairy farm. My university is currently developing a refinery that will scrub the raw methane, making it better than pipeline grade. And at the moment, environmentally friendly solutions are being develop! ed for all the by-products. Of which, there are very few.It's worth us examining this as a possibility, seeing as simply natural gas when it's finished... it could simply be piped into the current system. And after all, if it rots it'll make gas. At present, landfills are being tapped and just burned to generate electricity. Why not put all that fuel to good use driving our cars. Check it out, you just might be impressed....Show more
Margy Sandquist: Practically speaking, you can't. I would imagine you could collect it, compress it, mix it with a carbon source and pass that over some kind of catalyst at high pressure, and you'd get some kind of alcohol in low yield. But it's far easier just to collect the hydrogen and burn it as hydrogen. Look up "fuel cell" for some examples of doing that.DK...Show more
