Ask energy

Don't know the difference between a joule or a jewel and want to find out? Then ask energy. We will endeavour to answer your questions or at least point you in the right direction.

However, the main purpose of ask energy is to provide answers to energy related questions that would not easily be answered by internet searches. We do this by passing your question on to our network of experienced energy professionals. For some topics there is no "right answer" and for these questions we will try to get a diversity of opinions.

Examples of the type of questions we can help you with would be:

1. Can fusion power every be applied on a commercial scale?
2. Should Australia commit to building nuclear power stations to generate electricity?
3. Why isn't solar power more widely used in Australia?
4. What is cogeneration and why is it being promoted for new developments?
5. Does NSW really need more baseload coal fired power stations?
6. What are the advantages of plug-in hybrid cars compared to the normal hybrid car?
7. Are biofuels, like ethanol, really carbon neutral?
8. Why is water needed for generating electricity and what is the relationship between power generation and water consumption for different fuels?

The most interesting and topical questions and answers will be published on Energy Today as an online reference.

To ask energy please submit your question using the contact form.

Questions should be clear and succinct and they must be energy related.
