Many prominent leaders, including President George W. Bush, have called on us to embrace new sources of energy and even to reduce our energy usage. Currently, we produce energy for our homes, factories, and vehicles by burning oil, natural gas, and coal. Continued reliance on fossil fuels is dangerous both geo-politically and environmentally:
1. Our dependence on imported energy sources, particularly oil, leaves us vulnerable in foreign policy, affects our economic prosperity, and effectively “finances both sides of the war on terror.”
2. The extraction and burning of fossil fuels contributes to global warming and other environment damaging activities.
Many others have written about these problems at length (see links at right, for just a few examples). Here, you will find a viable solution to this crisis.
