Wake up to the truth!

I think it is important to look at the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and ask yourself, "Would I encourage the world to continue using these crude oils that can do so much harm to our environment without much effort by us. This poll that I found on Gallup.com, http://www.gallup.com/poll/1615/Environment.aspx, actually scared me.

The poll asking whether or not citizens believe the seriousness of global warming was either generally exaggerated, generally correct, or generally underestimated. The percentage of people who believed it was generally exaggerated went up from 35%to 48% in less than two years which is interesting because I would expect to to the opposite with the continued evidence of global warming environmental effects.

Conservation

What I would like to emphasize about renewable energy is the fact that it is RENEWABLE. The current system we have has a specific limit then will never be able to be used again. It is not a phony issue that was created by genius politicians trying to scare the public into blind obedience. It is an actual inevitable crisis that should be confronted with extreme caution. In the past few years it has become evident that we need to start thinking about conserving fuel and switching to a more sustainable solution. http://www.gallup.com/poll/2167/Energy.aspx In this link you can see that since early 2007 the belief that the more conservation of fuels among people has dropped from 64% to 52% by early 2010. The belief that we should use more fossil fuels has risen from 26% in early 2007 to 36% in early 2010.

ME!!!!

Hi everybody! My name is Tom Radochonski. I am in my senior year at Illinois State University and am a Political Science major still searching for my calling in life. I try to take advantage of the time we have on Earth here life seems too short and precious to take for granted. I am a person of balanced morals and a good perspective on life. I want to strive to get the best out of life that I can. I chose energy to oversee this semester because I believe in what it is trying to change. A suffocating necessity for non-renewable resources.
