About alternative energy generated from falling water, wave motion, tides, and geothermal. Numerous studies have established our reliance of fossil fuels ( oil, natural gas, coal, gasoline) is polluting and non sustainable practice with serious long term repercussions (acidification of the oceans, rising sea levels, more powerful and frequent storms) of the planet earth ( Surfrider Foundation’s article on Global Warming for more details). These are changes will be felt most likely and stronger along our coasts. Breaking our fossil fuels reliance and requiring more development from a number of alternative energy sources that are renewable and non polluting.

The action title permit by rule for small renewable energy projects like from falling water, wave motion, tides, and geothermical and the regulatory actions for development of the Permits by Rule, the PBRs, and so that the water related or combustion is based renewabless in which that is a must to have and the right thing to do, beneficial in so many ways and expecially for the future of energy as we know it.

Alternative energy is typically used as a description of the sustainable means for generating electrical power without involving the burning of fossil fuels. Alternative energy sources like solar, wind, waves, tides and geothermal energy. There are proposals to utilize ocean currents as the Gulf Stream and utilize the temperature differential between warm surface water and cold water deeper in the ocean to produce energy. Research these areas has they have been going on for decades now. It has been over 30 years, that the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii has been hardly conducting a research of ocean thermal energy conversion,  the OTEC process and its related technologies.

If we can save energy

fine

But then it must be very effective

People should be aware about the community sorroundings them. This could avoid a friction among the members.

Energy options should not affect the productivity and quality in commercial sectors.

I would object to being required to pull a permit in order to install a microhydro turbine on my own property for residential, off-grid use. I think the permits should come in at the point which the power is either A: Being sold back to the power company or in any way sent back into the power grid, or B: Is sold to a third party and thus becomes commercial and not residential or personal-use.

To make someone's choice to experiment with clean, renewable energy more difficult is only going to benefit the power companies; not the people.
