Energy Bill: Truth or Bust
by On the adverse effects of pollution due to oil and uranium usage, and some newer alternatives which may benefit our future.
- Bio energy: biomass, such as plant matter and animal waste, can yield power, heat, steam, and fuel.
- Geothermal: renewable heat energy can be harnessed from deep within the earth.
- Wind: turbines turning in the air convert kinetic energy in the wind into electricity.
- Solar: the suns energy can be captured and used to produce heat and electricity.
- Hydrogen: if produced by renewable sources, it can power fuel cells to convert chemical energy directly into electricity, with useful heat and water as the only byproducts.
- Tidal: using the movement of the ocean to power turbines and generate electricity.
Many more sustainable resources could be found and current resources improved if better technology were available and if the government and utilities actively promoted their development.
The fact is that our own reserve has become overwhelmed by greed and power stemming from non profitable sources such as petroleum and uranium use. In other words the demands of industry have surpassed our Federal Reserve income rates. In reality the only thing stopping us from conversion is changing a way of life, but for a better future all the way around. Of course change has to be for everybody and benefit everybody. Changing our way of life may be one of the hardest struggles we will ever face, but may keep us free from one day compromising with our lives.
