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.

I think that it is clear that people are trading in their SUVs and Trucks for more fuel efficient cars, but do you think that a majority of those people who make the switch are really concerned with conserving fuel, or just want to save money? Since our economy has had everyone's pockets pinched, I think that the switch to a Toyota is more for the individual factor of controlling finances, rather than helping the environment.
ReplyDeleteSo, i guess what I'm asking is: Do you believe that the economy is a factor in how large of a role renewable energy is allowed to play in our future?
I personally bought a new car mostly to save money on gas and was actually a big selling point for me. I believe that it may be a deciding factor for most other people as well as companies, it's nice to save money. I guess we'll have to see.
