Why Wont We Just Convert


Our environment will one day be irreversibly damaged by our conscious by neglect of our planet. Our nation and most of the world is suffering from a grand shortage of energy and will continue to suffer shortages if no fine plan to arranged. We are all guilty of destroying our planet. we have all contributed to our world's energy crisis by not taking the innitiative to completely break our dependance on other for energy. 
It is not impossible for people to live of cleaner energy. the problem is that this form of energy would require a great deal of money. 

It would be nice to direct our the world towards a future where communities take control and invest completely in alternative energy. This dream of mine is not impossible. There are several stories in circulation of brave people that have taken the risk and invested some allowance into alternative energy and have only looked foward since then. solar power seems to be the most experiment source; people have built houses that solely (or almost soley) run on the power of the sun. There have even been reports of how successful solar energy can be that communities have been known to buy energy from "alternative home owners". 

This begs me to ask the question, if money is the problem should, our communities not seek comfort in the fact that in the long run alternative energy will pay for itself? 

It is not worth it to allow our atmosphere to fill up with hazardous fumes when we can do something about it by wasting less energy and helping to educate our communities about the hazards of conventional energy sources like oil and coal.

dude i agree-there is no reason why we shouldn't be shifting our ways to alternative energy sources. Man with our economy the way it is, the saving of our planet almost seems to take a back seat to it-which is a mistake. Our planet is already really damaged and the only way we can keep it from getting worse is to switch.

Adding to what o bro said, our economy is struggling, but if we don't find alternative sources of energy, there is a major possibility that economy could fall even more than it already has.

O-Bro and Swidge I agree that making the switch to alternative energy even if only gradually will in the long run help our economy. Thanks
