Climate Change

Mention global warming and you will hear passionate opinions on all sides. As more facts are gathered, it becomes clear that action is more important than debate.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change — consisting of hundreds of scientists and representatives of 113 governments — said global observations of air and ocean temperatures, widespread melting of ice sheets, rises in sea level as well as regional changes in precipitation, wind patterns and extreme weather all point to a shift in the world's climate.

A top U.S. government scientist, Susan Solomon, who participated in the above study, said "there can be no question that the increase in greenhouse gases are dominated by human activities.""But the severity of these changes is still in our hands to control", said John Fyfe, who is also a research scientist at Environment Canada's climate modeling center.

Even if someone does not believe in global warming, it is hard not to see the advantages of clean renewable energy over “dirty” energy and foreign oil dependence.

Do You Want To RUN YOUR CAR ON WATER?

Your goal in fighting climate change is not to be “opinionated,” but to begin informing yourself about alternative energy sources. Whether you're concerned about saving money, foreign oil, national security, or pollution…the important thing is that you TAKE ACTION NOW!

Climate change is not just an environmental issue. It has already begun to affect our economy, our public health and our national security. Have you tried to buy coastal insurance lately?

American Energy Vision

If there was ever a time when a major shift in the U.S. energy economy was possible, it is now. Three decades of pioneering research and development by both the government and the private sector have yielded a host of promising new technologies that turn abundant domestic energy sources—including solar, wind, geothermal, hydro, biomass, and ocean energy—into transportation fuels, electricity, and heat.

Today, renewable resources provide just over 6 percent of total U.S. energy, but that figure could increase rapidly in the years ahead.

Many of the new technologies that harness renewables are, or soonwill be, economically competitive with the fossil fuels that meet 85 percent of U.S. energy needs. With oil prices soaring, the security risks of petroleum dependence growing, and the environmental costs of today’s fuels becoming more apparent, the country faces compelling reasons to put these technologies to use on a large scale.

Energy transitions take time, and no single technology will solve our energy problems. But renewable energy technologies, combined with substantial improvements in energy efficiency, have the potential to gradually transform the U.S. energy system in ways that will benefit all Americans.

The transition is easier to envision if you look at the way the oil age emerged rapidly and unexpectedly in the first two decades of the 20th century, propelled by technologies such as refineries and internal combustion engines and driven by the efforts of entrepreneurs such as John D. Rockefeller.

Addressing this compelling issue is a matter of survival for everyone on the planet and the most urgent threat facing humanity today.
