Mayor Bloomberg of New York City just announced that they are going to use these Microturbines for apartment buildings. They can run on natural gas, waste gas, biogas, as well as liquid fuels. They require no oil or lubrication to run.

First of all this is a paid advertisement. Did that escape your attention,. Secondly, New York has many tall buildings which are required for this type of technology.(wind turbines) Thirdly, you need a fairly steady supply of wind energy to make this feasible. A study of Cache Valley has found that there are no suitable siites for wind turbines. Fourthly, this technology is expensive and would take years to recap our intial investment. You mention several sources of fuel, all of which produce CO2 when combusted (so what would this accomplish exactly) which is what supposedly causes global warming. Why is it that eco freaks seem to live in the ozone? If you do a cost analysis, the only feasible way to reduce our dependence on foreign oil is to open up banned areas for production and increased use of coal and nuclear energy. The greens oppose these all.
