  1. Ive heard its extremely expensive to produce some of these alternative sources. What are your thoughts on current events like the Solyndra scandal, and misapropriation of federal funds?

  2. Seems like you've got a good subject to write about. Your questions are exactly what I would be asking. Maybe you can add in something about how the government is handling or mishandling this issue?

  3. Interesting topic, you are going to have a lot to write about if you choose to write on all the different types. Maybe you should choose one. I also think it might be a good idea if you write about how expensive it can be but in the long term it will be paying for itself.

  5. I'm really interested in the fourth question by the way of the third, which alternative energy methods tired by which people have been successful? Of course, part of the project would be about defining success.
