How can we educate people on saving the environment, instead of simply increasing our taxes?

Do you think it would be a good idea to start by educating children through schools. Growing an organic garden, in which the produce is used for their school dinners. (It won’t be a great amount of food, but at least it encourages children to grow their own produce at home too), collect rain water, learn about the best ways to save electricity and recycling, so that if its natural to them they will also take this info home and encourage their parents. I feel the government should maybe encourage the big electricity companies to re invest their profits into going green and tax them if they don’t or maybe spend less on nuclear weapons and invest the money better.

How Are We Going to Colonize Space If No Country Can Own Territory?

Under international law no country can own territory in space.

So how are we going to colonize? Even if no country on Earth owns the territory the people living in space will then need to have their own country in space which would then own territory.
@ Bob

People living in one place in space naturally have different interests from people living in other places in space.
People are different and have different interests from place to place. Even if you put it under a single body it needs subdivisions. And the differences that would form culturally between us and Martians and probably even Lunar colonists would make national unity across space unsustainable. But we can look forward to possibly a common currency and to peaceful coexistence if we start out colonizing with the understanding that we are creating new countries. If we are wise we will guarantee independence to any new colonies as their own countries.

Why do Conservatives think subsidizing Oil will lower gas prices or help the USA economy?

No mater what, Oil companies will continue to raise prices, sell Oil to China and anyone who wants OIl (though China is a big manufacturer of solar panels and has better energy planning than US). Oil is a non-renewable energy source that is half depleted, and Oil corporations will squeeze buyers for ever dollar of profit we are willing to pay at the pumps. Oil companies are International firms with loyalty to stockholders, and no loyalty to any country, or citizenship such as the USA.

Could someone help me with this Solar power Advocacy speech?

Ice fishermen, What is the Ideal size for an Ice shanty?

I have a portable tent style now it is a two man but I want to build one I can leave on the ice. It has to be able to be dragged out on the ice by hand, I want to be able to stand up in it also. I fish alone mostly. 2 jigging hole access panels in the floor. I want to be able to have a bench I can lay down on with storage underneath for equipment and a small livewell for bait. a small cooking area and a spot for my “buddy heater”. I have a slick idea about building one entirely out of 3″ thick blue board (kinda like stress skin panels) so it will be super light. It will have operating gable vents for safty (Propane fumes) plexi windows two which open for cross ventalation when I am cooking (I am a builder by trade so I have this all figured out) Just need an idea of sizes. A 6×8 footprint is what I was thinking. This will give me a (minus the thickness of the walls) 3’6″x 5’6″ open floor space after the bench and counter are built. Your experience and ideas would be appreciated.

Which alternative energy storage method sounds more promising?

The four choices are:

1. Graphene Based Ultracapacitors
2. Urea as a hydrogen carrier for fuel cells or Internal Combustion Engines
3. Rechargeable Metal Air batteries
4. Other – got your own idea

It would be nice if you could also explain why you think that energy storage method is more promising than the rest.
The use of the energy storage is mobile, such as vehicles.

How do you like these green building ideas?

I think they should make new building codes that incorporate all these ideas into new building codes

solar panels
wind generators
passive ventilation
rainwater collection
super glass
geothermal heating pumps
solar heating
eaves
compact florescent bulbs

There are building codes that require all buildings to have bathrooms and fire exits. You can no longer have an outhouse and just one door. If buildings have to abide by those standards, then there is no reason why they shouldn’t abide by these in my book. What do you think?

i wanna get a grow light out in the woods where theres no outlets. is there away i can power these remotely?

i cant afford to wire a line directly from my house.
a portable generator makes sense. would i need to take it inside to charge it or would it or would it have its on battery? how long could i expect this to last? and if thee are helicoptes flying around they already know i’m growing

i need to know where i can get the best combination of a pv system and there ratings.?

i need the best;inverters,solar panels, VRLA batteries to use to get maximum result needed. please specific refrences will be appreciated.
