Since you are working in the turbo or related energy areas, 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……. And can we preserve valuable animal dung in its natural, live form that nourishes soil-restoring microbes and earth worms, to be applied to the earth (as in organic gardening and agriculture)? This methodology has existed ever since animal life appeared above and on land……

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, plus endanger our bees… Great caution is indicated.

Hi,
You are with your great & best idea.You deserve My Vote. My all best wishes with you. A great idea shows your active intellectual part, would more useful for our lovely planet. Please check my idea and your remarks and queries are welcome. I would happy to see your remarks and support on my idea at - http://challenge.ecomagination.com/ct/ct_a_view_idea.bix?c=ideas&idea_id=6196F5FE-5D7A-4196-8238-99E6D4B2D636 .
We all together can change the way we live, Thanks and Regards

Hi,

Great idea! Your idea will surely ameliorate the global energy situation. You are a genius. I have voted for your idea. Take a look at my idea on “off-grid photovoltaic arrays.”

Wishing you all the best.

You got my vote! Because I believe that all ideas big or small can help solve global problems! Hope you will vote also our entry ideas! Our 2 submitted ideas at GE: Ecomagination Challenge (EL-POWER & VENPAR FLAT IRON) are all about saving energy and hopefully saving our planet Earth! Ours is all about new breakthrough devices/apparatus/machines that we have innovated and in the process for full development and hopefully in the stage of perfections, once full supports of all who will believe that there’s as such device/apparatus that can save our planet earth in the biggest problems we are facing ‘the ”GLOBAL WARMING”! Our submitted ideas are not just a dream perfect machine, we have already our innovated scientific theories, formulas, and principles that will backed up our intensive research which we have done since 1984!Although does not tally with principles of OHMS Law and not passes the principles of electrolysis still as seen in our link video the output is power/energy!The following are additional ideas being conceptualized brought about by our innovated scientific research and continous explorations in sciences:
• A machine/apparatus that absorb toxic waste/deadly chemicals and can be converted into a product that will helpful to mankind and other livings things?,[this one is great idea and safe for us}
• machine that regulates the flow of air, wind, water and sunlight to produce power and energy?{ no one,human being,can regulate the nature air flow and steady the sunlight,but we can make a machine with regulated and constant output power.}
• machine that could make rains to a country that has no rain for a long time; a machine that can be modified and regulates climate changes ?;
• machine that could sustain food requirements of all forms of life on earth?no more starvations,!
We need your negative comments!It will be our motivating factors so we can refined, explore, modified and developed more our submitted ideas!
We Dreamed this Powered Knowledge Machines! But we don’t only dreams, for many years we explore, continuously sourcing out the knowledges in science that give us the powers to innovate !
We wish that in a year or two! We are we going to welcome a new generation we call “ A POWERIZED FUTURISTIC GENERATIONS! “

Good idea!
Congratulations!
You have my vote!
Could you vote for my project?

Hi, Thanks for entering this competition. You have my vote and my support. If we applied only half of these ideas, Americans would be the most self sufficient and least CO2 emitting people in the world. Good luck with your idea. My idea is a totally Green generator that produces Zero Emissions and can work in any environment. So for example if the day is windy, sunny or hot this same generator can harness electricity, store it and maximise its potential. It can be made small enough to carry in your backpack or big enough to help power a city. Please visit my page and have a look. Kind regards, AntPower

Congratulation, take a look of mine! Hope to have your support! I patented an idea about charging your mobile by just walking; I hope all the useful ideas awarded by GE,
http://challenge.ecomagination.com/ct/ct_a_view_idea.bix?c=12EB3117-EA0C-41EB-B657-5A60BD78BD2A&idea_id={9D3A9C54-CEAF-4EA5-AAC7-DA121343E1DD}

It takes courage, belief and love of our environment to have entered this Ecomagination Challenge. I sincerely hope all ideas here are given the opportunity to be professionally prototyped. Our children, grandchildren and great grand-children will thank us & GE for sure. "Good Luck"

THIS IS AN AWESOME IDEA!!! you have my support! wish u the best!!!
Take a look of my idea! hope to have your vote! ;) best regards!
