Solar Energy
President Barack Obama has recently stated that we can no longer wait to implement new technologies to combat climate change. During a visit to a Wal-Mart store in California, Obama stated that solar energy is getting cheaper and easier to use. This statement came about the same week that the administration released a report warning that the climate change is affecting Americans with weather and environmental impacts. Some Republicans are arguing that focusing on an environmental overhaul would cause too many Americans to lose their jobs. The White House is also announcing new private and public partnerships which are designed to reduce pollution and increase energy efficiency. I think this is a great idea because if we continue to ignore all of the climate warnings without doing anything then our world will continue to be destroyed. It may cost us a lot now, but in the long run it will help our world immensely. What do you think about Obama's plan and the Republican's opinions?

I'm surprised that you actually support the conservation of the environment.
ReplyDeletewhy are you surprised?
DeleteI think this is a step in the right direction. The sooner we start initiatives to become a clean energy country, the sooner we will be ahead of other industrialized nations. The way we're abusing our natural resources and our environment, the Earth will be unsustainable sooner than we realize. We need to do this for future generations.
