Do you think there will be any problems with this alternative energy that is extracted from algae?

Will the costs of these oil extracted from the algae be a lot more than the costs of nonrenewable sources, if so, how will that impact our economy?

Will this alternative energy from algae eventually solve our problems?

My questions are:

1.  How would the wind farm benefit the future of Cleveland and Cleveland's reputation?

2.    In your opinion, is constructing the wind farm worth the money?

3.    Besides making turbines tolerant of the icy weather, can you think of any other possible issues that arise with the construction of the offshore wind farm? 

4. What do you think are other steps Cleveland can make to become a "greener" city?

1. Why, in spite of significant evidence and possible consequences to the global climate, do people continue to ignore Global Warning as a threat?


2. Will our society ever begin to understand and make efforts to try to stop Global Warming. Why or why don't you think so?


3. What do you you think would be a big first step in slowing Global Warming and the global climate change it would bring about?

Does this mean we should stick to using coal over natural gas?

Should there be more studies done on the chance of methane leakage?

Does this mean we have to spend more time looking for different solutions because neither of these seems to work?

Do you think the survey/results are fair?

Why do you think people are more inclined to favor economy over environment?

Which do you believe is more important?

Do you think that these floating islands will help bring back or boost the economy in Cleveland?

What are the possible effects these islands could have have on the Cuyahoga River?

After the Cuyahoga River caught on fire, no fish or aquatic organisms have been able to survive. Do you think that these small stretches of islands can bring back the fish population and bring life back to the Cuyahoga River? Or should scientists be looking for a different method altogether?
