One option to consider as alternative energy is windmills. But you may ask yourself “How to build a windmill?”…

I’m associated with Recycled Energy Development (RED), a company that works with heat for a living. Specifically, RED turns waste heat at manufacturing facilities into clean power and steam, thereby improving efficiency. Combined heat & power (which is mentioned above as one of Monbiot’s solutions) is a big part of what RED does. And the potential there is indeed massive: studies done for the EPA and DOE suggest there’s enough recoverable waste energy (most of which is heat) to slash US greenhouse gas emissions by 20%. Meanwhile costs would fall due to increased efficiency. We should be doing much more.
