Alternative Energy Prices Coming Down

I just returned to Denver to look at property but it is in interesting to me that the state of Hawaii has become a national leader in the field of alternative energy. I think the plan to power much of Honolulu from wind farms on outer islands connected by underwater cables is one of the progressive such programs around. It sure beats oil and natural gas. In my home state of New Jersey, for example, the utilities companies are all about the natural gas. Some international locations depend less on fossil fuels. italy for example is largely hydroelectric companies. I needed my international calls from cell phone when I was there and luckily I had Skype downloaded on my internet phone so for me the international calls from cell phone were actually free, which is really cool. Speaking of that, Do you ever wonder what we could have accomplished in the way of making ourselves independent of foreign oil and natural gas and at the same time having a cleaner environment if alternative energy had the same subsidies as the oil companies? I do, especially after seeing the michigan natural gas prices during my last visit back home to michigan a couple of years ago.
All in all, it is actually quite depressing when you think of the stranglehold that industry has had, but their party won’t last forever, unless they themselves lead the way in this alternative energy arena, which i think they probably will, anfd that will benefit all of us as a matter of fact.
An exciting article written by Marc Roca for Bloomberg News was posted November 11, 2010, under the headline, “Alternative energy costs keep falling; Solar power and biofuels to challenge gasoline by 2020.”
Roca cites a report out by Boston Consulting Group Inc which says advanced biofuels and solar-thermal power are getting less expensive to generate and could become competitive by 2020. I think they would do wind farms in Denver except property is so expensive there, a finite amount of land. I know because my friend is a property manager in Denverand he told me the scoop about it. All in all I would hoep that this company has a good Denver trademark attorney and copywrite lawyer because these days everyone should have a corporate business, patent, contract and trademark attorney overall.
According to the report, Ethanol made from sugar-rich grasses and other non-edible substances may challenge gasoline by the end of the decade. Costs of solar-thermal projects that use sunlight to heat fluids that in turn run turbine, could see a 50% reduction in price.
Roca quotes Balu Balagopal, Petros Paranikas and Justin Rose, the authors of the report, as saying, "Technologies in some alternative energy sectors are approaching inflection points
