These are interesting ideas. However, before I can vote, here are my usual comments which I deem to be of GREAT IMPORTANCE, to which kindly respond:

As we embark on this global alternative-energy adventure it is important, FROM THE OUTSET, that with wind or water turbines, for instance, all wildlife (BIRDS, FISHES, and others - swimming or diving, flying and climbing etc) be protected with alarm or protection devices (even special colors, paints, fluorescents etc perhaps?) and which also be well maintained and kept in good repair ...

SOME OF YOU SCIENTISTS AND INVENTORS PLEASE INVENT SUCH METHODS OR DEVICES !!! ..... It might be the best thing you could do, and you might become famous and/or rich, even if you were not to win in this competition.

Considerable MULTIDISCIPLINARY considerations must go into ALL ENERGY PROJECTS today. This type of thinking is an ABSOLUTE MUST today, with global population size soon reaching the TEN billion (10,000,000,000) people mark at current growth rates…! JUST 200 YEARS AGO, THINGS WERE STILL DIFFERENT. Until then, global population was under ONE billion. In fact, it was less than HALF that number (1/2 billion people) throughout more than 99% of our human existence on earth...!!! The planet is overly stressed now…!

When it comes to biomass, perhaps we might ask: Can byproducts from energy conversion be utilized to replenish the earth with NATURAL nutrients from the organic fertilizers they might provide for exhausted soils, for agriculture, edible gardening, and other purposes (pastures, lawns, flower gardens, reforestation, new forests, new arable land, etc) and not just as effluents to be dumped carelessly into streams where they may not be needed or even become a nuisance.

ALSO, therefore, if we all reflect on our actions, inventions, and activities before we engage in them, and if we reduce our birth rates, put our thinking hats on instead of being indifferent, pro-create responsibly rather than mindlessly, then we can make it; our offspring can then have a future, and we can de-stress the planet, our kids, and ourselves.

WE MUST NOT continue pushing other creatures out of existence, or waste precious materials by misusing and not recycling them while we continue to pollute the waters or the air...!

ADDITIONALLY: Large numbers of SMALL WINDMILLS or SMALL WATER TURBINES that have INEFFECTIVE or NO PROTECTIVE DEVICES AT ALL could potentially HURT flying or swimming and diving wildlife even MORE than large ones…!?

Another concern I have is that in the area of biofuel, the temptation is great to genetically modify plants to GMOs to make them even more suitable or higher yielding for biofuel production. This is extremely hazardous on "edibles" (corn, soybeans, and the like, if genetically crossed with non-plant material such as bacterial DNA) and it could upset the ecological balance even for plants that are not consumed. Great caution is indicated.

Great IDEA!!
U GOT MY VOTE...

All practical ideas together can and will make a difference to the world we live in….
Let’s wish for a Greener Earth with our efforts.

My Idea is to set up Solar Power Plants @ Equatorial Regions where we have maximum exposure to sun’s untamed energy. View Idea at:

Also we can increase number of Greener Products in the market by encouraging Strict Green Ratings at Manufacturers Level. View Idea at:

Do have a look and do vote for them if u like.

Good Luck!!

Good luck with your idea. You have my support. Kind regards, AntPower www.antpower.co.uk

You have my vote
That's a good idea.
If you can vote on my ideas I'll be very happy.

In one of my projects I intend to use a stirling engine to use the gas produced in gasifier biomass and capture the carbon dioxide emitted in a chemical reaction that will produce fertilizer.
In another project I propose an inflatable solar panel that will reduce the cost and installation of heating systems.
In the last project I propose the use of wastewater treatment anaerobic sewage that has to be used in thermoelectric plants, preventing that withdraw water of good quality environment.

Welcome to GE Ecomagination Challenge - You’ve got our vote just for being here! – Just joining this Challenge lets us know that like us at Clean Legacy, you are one who is also concerned with the future of the environment and the world we must leave to our children! The Clean Legacy Group with its flagship product, the Skylight PP-CPV and its related family of alternative energy products seeks to join with others to bring our low carbon footprint products to everyone everywhere. I hope you’ll join us and visit our page and cast your vote of support for our clean, green – eco friendly alternative energy machines. To view our offering please visit the Clean Legacy vote page by clicking here. - http://challenge.ecomagination.com/ct/ct_a_view_idea.bix?c=ideas&idea_id=E2620471-DDE7-497B-9D08-7B40F2ABB9EF You can also reach us on Facebook, just friend me @ John L Coulson

Remember it’s the top five ideas that GE determines that move ahead and not the top five vote getters, so just entering the Challenge gives us all an equal chance and an excellent way to network with many others in the alternative energy field. Imagine what we could accomplish together! - Let’s talk clean energy sometime soon. IamInventing@gmail.com or www.webstarts.com/IamInventorHope to see you in November! – Regards and best of luck to everyone!

Anyone who thinks it would be "too expensive" to convert the world's energy systems to clean, inexhaustible, available everywhere, and FREE energy sources like Wind, Solar, Geothermal, free-flowing water and Hydrogen made with electricity from them should be asked 2 questions:

1) In your cost/benefit analysis, how do you value the lives of coal miners, oil-rig workers, billions of sea creatures and the millions of people who die from pollution-caused disease?

2) If we fail to restore and preserve the ONLY known natural life-support system in the Universe, how will you explain that failure to your gasping, wheezing Great-Grandchildren, and what do you think the money you save will be worth to THEM??
