Sound Bytes: The Environment

Seems to me we’re supposed to be the caretakers of the earth.  We haven’t been doing a very good job.  Let’s make certain that there’s still a planet here tomorrow.

We need to ensure that we are using the technology and tools available in intelligent ways.  We need to stop depending on finite resources and invest in our future:  solar, wind, tide, geo-thermal, etc.

We need to help ensure that we are not destroying the world through pollution and arrogance.

Interesting way to get power in case of storm outages (or if you live in an area where the power company just shuts down your power at random anyway).  A little expensive, though.

This plan for energy use in the US is so simple and smart.  The basic idea: switch cars to natural gas by replacing natural gas with wind power (for electricity generation until we can get fully electric cars).  Hopefully something comes of it.
