Bill Gates is calling on the world’s technology community to find a way to turn spent nuclear fuel into cheap, clean fuel. I could not agree more with Mr. Gates. Alternative Energy, or Green Energy is what the United States needs in this time of economic turmoil. Not only will Alternative Energy help stop climate change it will provide a much needed boost to the U.S. economy. Alternative Energy sounds like a win, win situation for all involved.
Alternative Energy seems like a good solution to the current energy and economic crisis facing the United States and the world. An important factor in the switch to Alternative Energy is going to be the technology. The cost of producing Alternative Energy needs to become cheaper than the current methods already being used. It also has to be dependable and easy for people to use in their everyday life. There has been success in other countries such as Germany and France in Alternative Energy use.
Alternative Energy is facing a lot of opposition from coal and big oil. These industries not only have great financial resources but they also employ a great number of people as well. It is hard to convince people of the benefits of something when there are powerful forces working against Alternative Energy. I really do hope that Alternative Energy can overcome all the forces working against it and becomes common place in the United States. Michigan especially can benefit from all the new jobs that could be created by this new industry. Maybe now that a billionaire is asking for a solution, one will be found.

The computer industry as a whole is probably as far from being green as you can get. Nearly every component in a computer is somehow hazardous to the environment - and many components can kill you of the chemicals inside of them somehow get inside of you. Good times, really.
ReplyDeleteJoe, it sounds like you've ingested a computer part or two in your time.
ReplyDeleteI think that eventually alternative energy will take over whether oil and coal giants want it to or not. The economy demands it, along with eccentric earth friendly people.
The thing that I about this alternative energy is it going to create lots of jobs. I think its funny that a billionaire had to start this movement. At the same time it doesn't surprise me, for he didn't become a billionaire because he was stupid.

ReplyDeletethink green energy is necessary. Global warming is real because Al Gore said so. Pluse in these tough economic times America needs to be innovative and the green industry will be a big future market.
ReplyDeleteIf you have studied history then the fact it took a billionaire to start this movement shouldn't have been a shock to you. The bandwagon folks have often hung on the words of the rich because they are looking for a leader to point them in a direction.
