Biomass for alternative energy does not have to lay with just huge corporations and huge plants. It can be available to everyday people like you and me. Gasification takes biomass and burns it into a gas which can then power homes, cars, emergency power systems, backup solar systems or an altogether replacement of solar panels. Gasification is the “other solar power” as coined on victorygasworks.com an online community on gasification if anyone is interested. They have the best information on gasification and in video format as well for free. Gasification is what is giving electricity and new freedoms to rural areas in third world countries but the technology has been held by major corporations until “Woody” (gasifier about $2,000) came along. It’s the only real machine for home scale gasification that is making it possible for regular people to get off the grid. Information on that is available at http://www.woodygasifier.com

Hope this information helps expand on what is possible and how we can become energy independent, live off the grid and green. This technology can also offer “green jobs” since a smart entrepreneur could set up accounts and service all of those units etc… etc… Pretty cool huh?

Hi Duvar, Let’s see if Google translator works for you. I think Google has some tools that may help you.

Best, Stephanie

An absolute waste of money. If you want new energy, put the money in basic research. There’s no point in building these farms if they cost that much. If the energy costs double what energy typically costs then it’s the opposite of being environmentall friendly. Think about it. The money you spent here could be used to do truly environmentally friendly things.

If you think the politicians and policy makers can make better decisions than the energy companies, you are kidding yourselves…they don’t have to worry about what really works because their neck isn’t on the line – what’s likely to happen is that the industy with the biggest lobby will get the money, not the industry with the best promise. Also by skewing the market through subsidisation, you’re going to have problems of allocation and other unintended consequences — just look at ethanol. You think a central figure should have the power to override the will of millions of consumers? It’s silly and inevitably leads to problems. There is no one smart enough who deserves that kind of authority.

Get real people.

Hi chachi506, thank you for letting us know about the University of New Hampshire’s green practices! It certainly sounds like a smart thing to do, using gasses released from a landfill to create electrical power.

Hi India Travel, I agree! I am hoping that we will see even more biomass plants, solar and wind projects under Obama’s administration. Thanks for stopping by.
