. After speaking to others on the web, I found the answer. It is a moral obligation to do what they know is right. Consumers guide business by where they spend their money. Using alternative energy sources reduces dependence on fossil fuels. Shifting the sources of power were possible will allow fossil deposits to last longer for the products that there are no practical alternative sources.

I guess what I mean is, what would the effects be if we use it to extremes. People talk about saving energy a lot by doing things such as unplugging lamps/chargers etc that you're not using, turning of lights, using blackle. . But I can honestly say that I'm not 100% sure why I do these things. Thanks for any answers. Have a good day . I was happy to learn… OK, for every watt that is running continuously in your home, you are spending roughly a dollar per year. For every item with a clock and transformer plugged into the wall you are using about 3 to 30 watts of power even when the thing is switched off. If you have dozens of these things around your home you can spend several hundred dollars a year for nothing. On top of that fumes from Gas, Coal or Oil are probably released into the atmosphere when the power is generated and choke mainly younger, very old or more susceptible people who have difficulty breathing. Many people die of respiratory illness aggravated by BAD AIR. If you used Solar power for everything in your home and so did everyone else, and all cars were electric ( and planes were powered without Jet Fuel) the Sky's would turn blue, the pale smog which permeates cities would vanish (providing we got rid of Industrial gas release) the air would be so good to breath that people would simply live much longer. And perhaps the ocean water would turn blue as well. (we need to work on sewage also) I’magine what the air and water were like in America 700 years ago. Now the opposite of that would be if everyone wasted as much energy as possible, many more people would die faster from respiratory illness and we all would spend money for absolutely nothing.

I have a feeling that as alternative energy becomes a bigger deal, existing gasoline stations will be retrofitted with solar panels, capacitor and battery banks, natural gas tanks, and hydrogen fuels. This is a much more efficient alternative to building brand new fueling stations. What companies are prepared to do the retrofitting. Essentially — Sticking with the rules of Yahoo Answers, I am not going to name the company. . but my company does just that. We build and maintain service stations. Over the last decade we have had to venture into new areas to keep up with the changing times. We sell and service natural gas / LP fueling equipment. We have also gotten into the ethanol based fuel equipment industry. Many of your medium to large c-store chains are already exploiting and providing these two alternates. We have just invested in the development of solar powered "charging stations" for the battery systems you find in hybrids and full electric cars. The auto industry is heading to a direction that these batteries will be removable and interchangeable, meaning that you will not have to stop your trip to recharge your batteries. . just pull into a service station and exchange yours for a freshly charged battery. In the late 90's the development of hydrogen fuel powered autos really slowed down. There are many reasons that I have been told, but I still believe that this was due to the "big oil" lobbyists working hard against it.
