Financing & cultural challenges to getting more green energy adoption?

October 7th, 2009 1 Comment »
Jason M asked:


I’m curious to hear what some of the financing & cultural challenges are to getting traditional energy companies to adopt green technologies? In particular, I know that many green energy sources require significant up-front investment today to capture the benefits of potentially grid-parity kwh production in the future.

How does financing work in the energy industry today around the world and is it possible that the way energy production is financed might hinder large investments?

Also, what some of the cultural challenges to green adoption? For example, are $/Watt and $/kwh even the right metrics to use when thinking about the economics of adopting green technologies?

socialized energy production grids.
yet keeping the power and control over the energy sector in the very hands of the people who’s hands it not be in anyway.

Tesla was right guys. As was Edison.

Independent renewable energy production systems would halt this koyannisqatsi.

Take power away from those who use it against us and put it in the hands of the people.

I.E. Give it to the people?

Ever feel as if you’re one of the most misunderstood people on the face of the planet? LOL. ;)
Oh well.

So much for true freedom and independence i guess.

Is a green energy credit the same thing as a carbon credit?

riotsoup asked:


I know how carbon credits are used but I noticed that some companies claim that they “buy green energy credits” as though it’s a positive thing. Don’t companies want to advertise that they sell credits because they don’t use all theirs up?
