How and where to apply for the grant and loan money to "green" businesses?

I own and operate a small business. We offer an eco-friendly product in an industry that is known to often not green. I heard that President Obama is setting aside as much as $ 2.3 billion for green companies to obtain grants and loans. I have contacted my local congress can not get a relpy. Do you have any idea where they can access this money? Thank you.

Watch grants.gov find who qualify, there is complete instructions. This is a direct, no spam.

green companies

Do you think we can go green and the oil companies expect to be okay with this?

I have faith that they can jump on board and help us implement with this green planet. I! What color is the money???? When oil was in such abundance from the oil companies let good times. Now that more people worldwide are using is required to run and lets get real. We have a mouse and click on council meetings have …. What the hell are we still doing fuel engines?? Do not you think all things need to be upgraded too?

the the big oil companies are now moving into alternative fuels bigtime. Why, so you can monitor them as well. http://www.freep.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20080502/BUSINESS01/805020338/1014/BUSINESS01 http://www.alternative-energy-news.info/oil-companies-promote-alternative-energy/ http://www.eere.energy.gov/afdc/pdfs/epa_fischer.pdf if they also become the major alternative fuel sources, then there is no competition and still control the market and may continue to harm us. The control of alternative fuels must be removed from big oil. to create a free market competition. you can do with hydrogen that not many years ago, companies used to burn hydrogen sulfide gas in refineries. now remove sulfur from hydrogen sulfide gas and hydrogen fuel sell it as high price.

green technology

What is a green technology that you would like to see invented?

It must be green and can not exist already. You can upgrade existing technology however.

Well I forget what it is called, but cells were found in a living organism that uses sunlight to basically own fuel. These solar panels on the skin, but are so small (microscopic). We're finding a way to get their skins and billions of them to actually use it as a panel solar. If we can keep doing that (though not yet in danger of cell species, of course, because if they went extinct then it would not be able to use more) then that would be a good way to harvest energy from the sun to use to light up homes. (may not be very effective [only lighting up the house], but that it is easy to get, and if it is easy, well, let's use it more.)

Green Home Ideas – Energy Efficient Lighting, what a bright idea

Setting up a good green home starts with energy efficiency. Traditional incandescent light globes lose almost 90 per cent of their energy in generating heat – only 10 per cent of the electricity used is actually going into lighting your room. And because of their various filaments and parts, incandescent bulbs generally have a much shorter life span than their more energy efficient counter parts.

Installing energy efficient globes is one of the most cost effective and easiest options available for a good green home. Some companies had even traditionally given out energy and water saving “packs” for people to try out. Nowadays, these energy saving globes are available everywhere – so the question becomes, which light fitting is right for you?

Eco Home Tip # 36 – The lowdown on CFL – Compact Fluorescent (CFLs) are the most common energy saving fitting. CFLs use just about 20 percent of the energy required for the same amount of light from an incandescent globe and last 10 times as as long. All in all, a CFL will help reduce the cost of lighting your home by as much as 60 %.

Eco Home Tip # 37 – Keep your CFLs close, if shaded – a British study last year revealed that CFLs produced a small amount of UV radiation when used unshaded and in close proximity. Open globes were of note, which “encapsulated” globes were considered safe. So if you’re using a work lamp with a CFL, keep it shaded of opt for an encapsulated globe instead.

Eco Home Tip # 38 – Recycling your CFLs – The typical CFL contains a minute 4 mg of mercury sealed in its glass tubing. Some manufacturers have lowered its CFL mercury content to as little as 1 – 2.5 mg. Handle your CFLs with care and take advantage of recycling programs for CFLs to keep mercury from ending up in landfill.

Eco Home Tip # 39 – Leading by example with LEDs – Light emitting diodes (LEDs) are another popular energy efficient lighting option, especially to replace halogen globes and downlights in your home. The small cluster of diodes can be arranged in a number of configurations and sizes to suit your home. LEDs have been traditionally found in electronics including clocks, and have a variety of uses in terms of producing a broad spectrum of bright coloured light. LEDs are the perfect substitute to the more heat intensive halogen globes and last for over 50,000 – 60,000 hours and uses 70 percent less energy than standard halogen globes. LEDs are also mercury free.

Lighting a home can account for as much as 20 percent of a home’s energy use. Energy saving lights are simply a bright idea for your green home.
