I’ve read reports that by 2030, 115 million barrels of oil need to be produced to the meet the increase needs of China and India.
This particular author advocated highly for alternative energies.
However, I read another source, where the argument was that alternative energies were just as harmful to the environment.
It is clear that the stifling need of fuels from over-populated India and China pose a large challenge, but is alternative energy the answer? Is there really enough oil to last us at least a century as some sources suggest? It’s difficult to get the truth from so many differing biases on our economy and fuel-usage.
Alternative Energy?

Top 5 Green Energy Companies From 2008
February 25th, 2010
Thousands of organizations and businesses are going the extra mile and spending the extra dollar to buy utility-scale energy from renewable resources. So much so that the United States E.P.A. (Environmental Protection Agency) compiles a quarterly list of the top green power companies from their Green Power Partnership program which came out in July 2008.
Some businesses take diminutive steps towards a green campaign, but these companies are proving their allegiance to a greener environment by voluntarily spending millions of dollars on clean energy.
Intel purchased 1.3 billion kilowatt hours of electricity in January 2008. This compensates for 47 percent of the companies overall energy use.
PepsiCo purchased 1.1 billion kilowatt hours of electricity in 2007, the equivalent of powering 90,000 homes for an entire year. This accounts for 100 percent of their annual energy use. PepsiCo was named Green Power Partner of the Year in 2007 by the E.P.A.
U.S. Air Force has already purchasd 9 million kilowatt hours of electricity this year as of July 2008. They have invested in a number of biogas, biomass, geothermal, solar and wind energy providers.
Wells Fargo has purchased 5.5 million kilowatt hours of electricity from wind energy providers thus far in 2008. They are also a Green Power Partner of the Year in 2007. More than green energy, Wells Fargo has made a number of other commitments to their green campaign including LEED certifying their buildings and offering online account statements.
Whole Foods Market, the past two years has purchased enough green energy to compensate for 100 percent of their energy use, totalling to over 5 million kilowatt hours annually. The company is also investing in multiple other efforts to reduce their carbon footprint on the environment.
Other organizations ranking high on the E.P.A.’s list are Starbucks, Johnson & Johnson and the University of Pennsylvania.

Effective Marketing For a Better World: How Renewable Energy Companies Should Pump it Up
February 19th, 2010
Anything that is consumable is marketable. Those who are on top of the biz know how to sell all sorts of items and renewable energy is not an exception.
To boost sales of these renewable energy companies, they really have to sell it. It is not enough to say that renewable energy can sustain human life for future generation. Not all are conscious of the future and what awaits the generations to come. Going green really should sell everything they got!
1. Better education is better profit
The world’s condition is already at its alerting stage. More and more people are seeking alternative energy providers to sustain their daily living. Renewable energy marketing is a perfect opportunity to increase the level of awareness of the people and make use of the chance to permeate the consumer’s will to purchase.
Since renewable energy does not come cheap consumer are doubtful in purchasing such equipments. It is timely and tiring to constantly promote renewable energy and at the same time address environmental issues that can be solved with the use of renewable energy. But be rest assured that efforts are not left in vain.
2. Positive renewable energy marketing is additional cookie points
No matter how much people doubt products, always remember that it is the same for almost every product in the market. A good company would like to sell their product in accordance to how they would like the product is perceived by the market. However, a better company would inform the consumers of how they could benefit from clean renewable energy.
3. Proper marketing is favorable to the recommendation of experts
Experts are the best back-up for a renewable energy company. People would listen better to experts using renewable energy rather than celebrities endorsing it without even vouching in for what they say. Expert opinions matter, not only in marketing but in improving quality of renewable energy products simultaneously with sales.
4. Total customer satisfaction should be met with a smileTo meet up with the expectations of consumers is practically what a renewable energy company should be focusing on. It must continuously reinvent itself so that it would constantly offer something fresh to the public.
It would build up company character and confidence in the long run. To live up to expectations and to surpass it as a main objective would build a stronger renewable energy company.
5. Renewable energy marketing can win the heart of the government
The government is one of the biggest consumers in the country to win the favor of the government means better investment, more jobs and of course a wider horizon for the company. To end this, it is better to stay true to what a renewable energy company advocate, a better world.
It is more than enough to say that the usage of renewable energy will sustain future generation. However, no matter how noble the advocacy may be, without proper marketing, these innovations might be as won’t gather much attention
