Conserving energy, shaping tomorrow's future?

Question

I have to write an essay about conserving energy and how that will affect the future. i would appreciate any links, facts, information etc. on this subject. thanks!

Answer 1

Please check out the world's cleanest car.  It runs on compressed air.  It's rumored to cost a lot less than the hydrogen car.  

NASA did a "Clean Air Plant Study" and that's worth looking into.

You might not think about soil management, worms and vermacast to clean our environment but here's another idea to look into.  Most organic farms are going this route because the chemical fertilizers may have long range side effects.

Hope this helps.

Answer 2

Possibly look into magazines such as Mother Earth News and Scientific American. Mother Earth News focuses a lot on different designs for homes such as straw and sandbag homes. Scientific American is big on renewable energies (mother earth is too but the latter gives an approach to fix it).

I'd focus on cars as well--because America is driven by oil.

I'd focus on scientific facts about the ice melting and what that might do to cities on the cost lines and I'd focus on American energy habbits verses other global nations power bill. I hoped that helped a little.
