Why is NASA not at work trying to solve America’s energy needs?

Seems to me that some of the world’s most accomplished scientists are under-employed now that Manned Space Flight has been suspended.
Could those guys not be put to work developing the technology to provide clean and sustainable energy to the world?
Seems like the Patent royalties might help with out tax burden.

How do I feed generated power back into the electric grid?

This is for a school project. I’m going to build and install green/sustainable energy harvesters (solar, wind) for my house. I was wondering how I could feed the energy i get from these appliances back into my house and turn my electric meter backward. Any help would be appreciated!

how come my electric bill went up due to the raising cost of oil/gas if I use a renewable energy tarrif?

UK: I got a letter saying that my electric bill went up due to the raising cost of wholesale oil and gas. But I’m on a renewable energy tarrif. surely gas and oil are’nt renewable energy sources and should’nt affect my bill. I think I’m being lied to or something. screwed maybe?

Would you be slightly uneasy if I told you we subsidize oil and gas companies in the amount of 41 billion?

In comparison to the precocious renewable energy industry’s 6 billion?

This comes from Doug Koplow of the energy consulting firm “Earth Track”.

In the words of Rep. Joe Barton, not offering these subsidies would be “disincentives”.

He’s saying we have to pay them for the privilege of paying them.

Where is this logic, exactly?
