alternative energy. I want to be informed, where do I start?

[Cade]

I want to be a supporter for the alternative energy movement but not sure where to start. There are a few sites I came across myself but instead they use the subject to promote political means. Is there a site or book or something that can give me the facts as a beginner?

What are some good podcasts, YouTube channels, twitter/Facebook pages and other medusa? I want to be as immersed and informed as possible. Local resources where I live are a joke, which is why I ask for those above. Thanks

really the best thing you could do is take an environmental science class at a junior college. dont take anything specific, such as strictly renewable energy sources and derivatives.

but my local community college has a green living course which teaches you things about water conservation etc.

what would you like to learn? i took an advanced environmental science class and it was more about things such as how harmful mining is and carbon emissions etc.

one fact i still remember from that class is, if we all started converting to living 100% green it would take 70 years for everyone to be green and for it to take full effect.

but yeah id recommend taking a college course or something of the sort instead of relying on online information as it is backed up with sources. glad to see someone wanting to look into it though.

really the best thing we can do for the environment is educate the people that are unaware of the harm they are doing to the environment, you dont have to become a hippy, but become aware of what you are doing
