 "We begin with accomplished actress and environmentalist Daryl Hannah, who champions the benefits of biodiesel as an alternative fuel already available on the market today. L. Hunter Lovins, president of Natural Capitalist, discusses the unsustainable nature of our current energy consumption paradigm. Philippe Cousteau, president of EarrhEcho, reveals how harnessing the ever-present power of the wind, tides, and waves can meet the world's energy needs many times over—while keeping the planet safe for future generations. We finish with popular actor and activist, Ed Begley, Jr."- David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.) "We wouldn't expect a movie star to hold such strong convicrions, so naturally we asked what "drove" her to use such an alternative fuel choice. Daryl was direct. "Obviously, we have limited fossil fuel supplies. That's not even negotiable. Why rely on fossil fuels when we have sustainable energy technology and bio-fuels? Plus, bio-fuels are made from oil seed crops like soy, canola, rapeseed, and mustard, so using biodiesel is a way to support American farmers who grow those crops—and support our economy." - David H. Rippe, Jared Rosen, The Flip: Turn Your World Around (Get the book.) |
 "Whether it is preservation of our resources, the call for alternative fuel sources, animal protection or climate control, there are numerous opportunities for your voice to be heard and your heart to transform.
Speak up for causes and issues that are meaningful to you. Write letters to your local newspaper and TV station. Find others who share your views and vision.
Make sure, however, you speak from a position of building a better future, not tearing down what exists. Use your positive energy to call for the future you want, don't focus on what you don't want."- Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.) "Global warming is a thing of the past, solved through worldwide corporate and government cooperation. alternative fuel solutions are in use everywhere. Everyone practices energy and resource conservation. People of all ages are kind and polite to each other, thoughtful and considerate. Everyone feels safe at home, the office, and when traveling since crime and terrorism have dwindled away. Clearly this is not the world we live in today. It could be! Our world today is a world we and our ancestors created, a world that has been driven by our most primitive fear ?" - Jackie Lapin, The Art of Conscious Creation: How You Can Transform the World (Get the book.) |
 "The term energy cycle refers to the amount of total energy used to produce any given object, and it is the prime consideration in our search for alternative fuel sources. The goal is simple: net gain. Just as it is in our best interest to eat foods with a high net gain in order to gain maximum energy, the production of food should adhere to the rules of efficiency—more energy should be drawn from the fuel than was used to produce it. This is logical, yet the processing of fuel sources is a tremendous energy draw, so much have experienced a net loss, not making them a viable alternative."- Brendan Brazier, The Thrive Diet: The Whole Food Way to Lose Weight, Reduce Stress, and Stay Healthy for Life (Get the book.) |
 "Wright, who left in November 2005, to be replaced by Nancy Gioia, was responsible for all present and future hybrid, fuel cell, and alternative fuel technology development. Wright had assumed her position only in April 2004 and reported jointly to Product Creation and Research and Advanced Engineering.)
She told me at the LOHAS conference that Bill Ford was totally behind her efforts. The company was one of the first to produce a green sustainability report, she added. "I give the credit to Bill Ford. In the late 1990s, we were riding high, selling SUVs by the trainload."- David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) "Virgin is the first airline to get serious about alternative fuel sources. In November 2005, Virgin Chairman Richard Branson revealed, "We are going to start building cellulosic ethanol plants (to make) fuel that is derived from the waste product of the plant."62 Branson admits that they are still in the very early stages of development, but stated that he believes cellulosic ethanol will be the future of fuel, and over the next twenty to thirty years should replace traditional fuels." - David Steinman, Safe Trip to Eden: Ten Steps to Save Planet Earth from the Global Warming Meltdown (Get the book.) |
 "The Hydrogen Economy is the best primer out there on the coming oil crisis and the new economy that is poised to emerge from the harnessing of hydrogen as a a alternative fuel source. In the book's final chapter Rifkin delves into the thorny questions of who will end up controlling this future fuel, and the potential implications of this new economy on our sociological frameworks: "Hydrogen, because of its universality, offers the prospect: that we might be able, at long last, to democratize energy and empower every human being on Earth."- Alex Steffen, Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century (Get the book.) |
 "As the level of ketones rise in our bloodstream, the brain accepts ketones as an alternative fuel. In this manner, we conserve muscle and increase survival during periods of food deprivation, such as fasting. For those interested in more information about the biochemistry of fasting and its effect on human health, I recommend my book Fasting and Eating for Health, A Medical Doctor's Guide for Conquering Disease.
Atkins's dietary recommendations prey on this survival mechanism. When we restrict carbohydrates so markedly, the body thinks we are calorically deprived and ketosis results."- Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat to Live: The Revolutionary Formula for Fast and Sustained Weight Loss (Get the book.) |
 "When this runs out, your body metabolizes fat and protein from your muscles and forces the cells of the body to run on ketones—a type of alternative fuel. This process causes you to lose weight, much of it water, but the diet is unsustainable. Because it's excessively high in animal protein and fat, it eventually becomes unpalatable and dull—you'll kill for a bagel or even a piece of fruit. Thus, sooner or later, you'll drop the diet. Then you'll attempt to restrict calories again, which leads to chronic hunger, which leads to binges, and the whole tedious cycle starts all over again."- Bradley J. Willcox, M.D., D.

 "And we are no closer to accomplishing it than we were thirty years ago, during the first OPEC oil crisis, when fusion was one of many alternative fuel miracles promised for the post-petroleum future. A related process called "cold fusion" has been pursued in laboratories sedulously for decades, as methods for turning lead into gold were doggedly pursued by alchemists centuries ago—and so far with similar results."- James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.) "But like other alternative fuel schemes, it raises issues of economy and scalability. Can the infrastructure of the United States, as presently configured, be run on these things? No way; not even a tiny fraction of it. The wind power inquiry eventually would lead back to the same place as the one on solar power: Can these technologies be detached from the fossil fuel platform supporting them? Sure, it is possible to generate electricity using wind turbines. Yes, European nations have made major investments in "wind farms." - James Howard Kunstler, The Long Emergency: Surviving the End of Oil, Climate Change, and Other Converging Catastrophes of the Twenty-First Century (Get the book.) |
