(Bill) Stevens Available View Profile Ask A Question View Past Answers	Knowledgeability 9.88 Clarity of Response 9.80 Timeliness 9.83 Politeness 9.98 Total Questions 428	I'm a professional mechanical engineer. I can explain the economic tradeoffs of making electricity from natural gas, coal, nuclear, solar, and biomass energy sources. I have a pretty good understanding of the science on global warming and can explain how these energy conversion technologies affect that process. I can tell you why we have to build more nuclear plants, keep using coal, and cut way back on using natural gas to make elctricity. I can de-mystify the concepts of efficiency and energy conservation. But, I'm not an electrician so I don't do wiring! :-)
