US can produce 100% of green energy from 1.6 million wind turbines from GE.

 The US has a huge wind power potential because of its large territory. The potential of offshore wind power in the United States to generate electricity is at least four times as great as the nation's total electric generating capacity from all sources in 2008, finds a new assessment by the National Renewable Energy Laboratory.  If US targets investments in wind energy  this can create 10 million new jobs in 10 years.

About 1.6 million advanced technology 2.5 series wind turbines from GE can produce 100 per cent of US energy.
The cost for 2.5 MW wind turbine is about 7 Million dollars installed .

The United States has aapproximately 140 million households . Electricity consumption in 2012 is expected  4000 billion Kilowatthours (kWh)  or  4 million gigawatts. Electricity consumption totaled nearly 3856 billion Kilowatthours (kWh) in 2011

 The electricity consumption in U.S. residential house is 33 kilowatthours (kWh) per day, 1000 kWh a month. The United States added more than 6.8 GW in 2011, enough to power almost 2 million American homes, bringing total wind power capacity to almost 47 GW. GE will supply Triventus with 10 wind turbines of STI 2.75-103. A 27.5MW wind farm project  wind farm will generate enough renewable electricity to power the equivalent of 7.500 houses in Sweden

GE’s (NYSE: GE) advanced technology 2.5 series wind turbines have surpassed 2 gigawatts of installed capacity worldwide, enough clean electricity to power approximately 500,000  American households. By the end of the 2012 more than 2,000 GE wind turbines with a 100+ meter rotor will be operating in 15 countries worldwide, including 12 in Europe. Nearly 1,000 of these turbines will be multi-megawatt 2.5 series machines.

The 2.5 technology has been selected for two of the world’s largest wind projects: the 845-megawatt Shepherds Flat wind farm in Oregon, the first use of the 2.5 technology in the United States; and CEZ Romania’s 600-megawatt Fantanele wind farm, Europe’s largest onshore wind project.

An evolutionary product, the 2.5 series includes the 2.3-94, 2.5-88, 2.5-100, 2.75-100 and 2.75-103 models, offering high efficiency and reliability for a broad range of wind conditions. The 2.5 family is built on the proven performance of GE’s 1.5 wind turbine, the most widely deployed machine in the wind industry with more than 16,500 units installed worldwide.

Obama has the world's highest carbon footprint and energy consumption

 Sahit Muja: New York

Sahit Muja: Obama has the world's highest carbon footprint and energy consumption.

President Obama consumes gas, oil and energy more than any leader, king or person on the planet earth. Now his campaign slogan need to read:  "Just do as I say, don't do as I do".
Lets be fair to President Obama and give him credit for what he does about energy and carbon foot print which has nothing to do with what he lectures us on.

Flying Air Force one plus entire security detail plus transports for gas guzzling limos across the country to take in a fund-raising, vacations, play golf and basketball games.
Flying air force one plus security detail plus staffers to campaign.  President Obama has the biggest gas guzzling fleet in the world's history, more vacations than any President in the history.
Michele Obama has to travel separately plus her security detail plus limos for vacations.
President Obama himself lecturing about higher gas prices helping to reduce consumption, that is consumption for everybody else except him.

President Obama, the regulation king who never met a business restricting law he did not like, muses about why energy prices are high.
My short list: The inflation, over regulation, devaluation of the dollar, EPA going beyond it's mandate, manipulation of oil prices, denying or red typing the permitting process for oil, natural gas and coal.
Government botches everything it touches. Yet  President Obama and his worshipers think they can manage energy better than the free market and manage the entire auto and health care industries better....etc, delusional. They are runaway ideologues, and they have to be stopped.

Who is preventing exploration and production oil, natural gas and coal on all federal lands?
Who closed all offshore areas of the U.S. to oil exploration? Who refuses to consider an opening of oil exploration in Anwr ?. Who reduced oil production on federal lands by 30 percent?
Who refuses  American oil exploration and oil production in the Gulf ?. Who took U.S. taxpayer dollars in the billions of dollars and funded Brazil and Mexican oil exploration and oil production while denying Americans access?.  
Who allowed the EPA to force the closure of 200+ coal-fired power generation plants, without any viable replacements?

Who allowed  an Energy Secretary who boasts about wanting gas prices like Europe who doesn't drive or own a car?.
Who stopped the XL Keystone pipeline project, along with the 20,000 direct construction jobs and the 80,000 ancillary jobs that would have been created in support of the construction, just to buy the eco  votes?.
Who is constantly claiming credit for increased oil production, which is actually ONLY on private and state lands and is the result of the actions of President George W. Bush while he was in office?.

The answer is President Obama.
Lets be fair to President Obama and give him credit for what he does about energy

The planning of the energy generation around one or two resources is a short-sighted vision.This is the classic sickness of the politicians who only think in four years with a bargain mentality.
As a nation we have to project investments in all the resources available oil, natural gas, coal, nuclear and also developing advanced technologies to improve the capture and use of solar and wind energies in long terms.

About the nuclear-power, I know that there are a lot of controversies, but I don’t like to see in the near future all our nuclear plants as “cemeteries” of concrete and machines without use.
Of course, the nuclear plants require more strict controls and politicians and administrators who don’t cheat when choose contractors and approve budgets.

 We can use a nuclear and coal power plants to crack water into 100% pure hydrogen and oxygen gasses. Hydrogen is an excellent energy carrier. You can use it to power something electrically via fuel cell or you can just burn it like a normal combustion engine. The byproduct of burning hydrogen gas is 100% pure water. Hydrogen is no more dangerous than gasoline in any given situation.
We can make our own fuel source from seawater.

Speculation is the main factor on skyrocketing oil prices.

 Sahit Muja: New York

Sahit Muja: Speculation is the main factor on skyrocketing oil prices.

The price of oil has been increasing from an average $45 a barrel when President Obama took office to $107 today.
The U.S. and European economies have not improve at all.

Why have the oil prices dramatically increased while the consumption has decreased on  the world tow major economies  the U.S and EU which represent more than 50 percent of worlds GDP about $30 trillion dollars? Speculation, Speculation and Speculation.

The oil companies, banks and financial institutions must love the unrest in Arab countries and the problems with Iran.

Speculation, this is where the real money is made, 20 percent profit in one month. The ownership cargo of oil changes hands many times on-route. The Chinese are not the subjected to the same amount of speculation on the oil cargoes heading for their shores.

In this case China has a big advantage over his competitors on the world's markets.
In the meantime prices will rise causing more speculation on commodities.
The U.S. could drill domestically to provide oil for home use, leaving more for the rest of the world markets. If the U.S government ban was lifted Alaska alone could be the worlds eighth largest supplier.

There is also huge reserves of oil , gas and coal across the country.
The Iran crises is yet another of the excuses the oil industry comes up with to increase the prices. There's no shortage nor will there be because of what's happening in Iran.

The oil countries can increase production at any time to cover the gap of production from Iran. Iran does not have the naval power to block the Straits of Hormuz, and its aging air force would be no match for the U.S., NATO and the Gulf Military.
They're using it as an excuse to raise oil prices, too. This is PR from oil producing countries and oil companies.

In the military event, the United States and NATO will likewise be compelled to do what is necessary to make those oil shipments to continue to go through the Strait of Hormuz-including force if that is what it takes.
 We've seen one excuse after another, even stupid ones like a pipeline leakage in Alaska, pushing prices up. How the hell has one leak in a pipe delivering maybe 0000.1% of the world's oil going to create a problem? None, absolutely none, of the reasons given in recent days for increases in oil prices have been valid.

Rises in the price of fuel have a multiplyer effect in all the world's economies.
Food prices are at the highers level and are increasing every day.
High oil prices are effecting everything, raising the costs of raw materials and goods at every stage.

Rising fuel costs therefore raises inflation exponentially. Farmers need to pay more to transport their goods to markets.They therefore charge higher prices. Grocers transporting fruit and vegetables to their warehouses and shops need to pay more in transport costs, and they add this to the farmer's mark-up.

Raising the price of oil rapidly will do no good deed to the world.
Running out of Oil? No world has so much oil feared running out of it is not valid.
In recent years thanks to new technologies, such as three-dimensional seismic imaging, horizontal drilling and the ability to drill in ever-greater water depths, the oil and natural gas industry has so far managed to raise its output.

Arctic ice is melting temperatures have risen at twice in Russia, Canada and Alaska

 Sahit Muja: Artic Ice

Arctic ice is melting temperatures have risen at twice in Russia, Canada and Alaska
Global warming, or climate change, is a subject that shows no sign of cooling down.
Here's the lowdown on why it's happening, what's causing it, and how it might change the planet.

 

• Global Warming: How Hot? How Soon?
• Global Warming Can Be Stopped, World Climate Experts Say
• Global Warming Interactive: Learn About Its Causes and Effects

Is It Happening?
Yes. Earth is already showing many signs of worldwide climate change.
• Average temperatures have climbed 1.4 degrees Fahrenheit (0.8 degree Celsius) around the world since 1880, much of this in recent decades, according to NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies.
• The rate of warming is increasing. The 20th century's last two decades were the hottest in 400 years and possibly the warmest for several millennia, according to a number of climate studies. And the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) reports that 11 of the past 12 years are among the dozen warmest since 1850.
• The Arctic is feeling the effects the most. Average temperatures in Alaska, western Canada, and eastern Russia have risen at twice the global average, according to the multinational Arctic Climate Impact Assessment report compiled between 2000 and 2004.
• Arctic ice is rapidly disappearing, and the region may have its first completely ice-free summer by 2040 or earlier. Polar bears and indigenous cultures are already suffering from the sea-ice loss.
• Glaciers and mountain snows are rapidly melting—for example, Montana's Glacier National Park now has only 27 glaciers, versus 150 in 1910. In the Northern Hemisphere, thaws also come a week earlier in spring and freezes begin a week later.
• Coral reefs, which are highly sensitive to small changes in water temperature, suffered the worst bleaching—or die-off in response to stress—ever recorded in 1998, with some areas seeing bleach rates of 70 percent. Experts expect these sorts of events to increase in frequency and intensity in the next 50 years as sea temperatures rise.
• An upsurge in the amount of extreme weather events, such as wildfires, heat waves, and strong tropical storms, is also attributed in part to climate change by some experts.Global warming, or climate change, is a subject that shows no sign of cooling down.
