I have read a lot about the Feed-in Tariff and it seems to be working in Germany. I do not completely understand the economics behind it. I'm sure there are pros and cons but can this work quickly because that is what we need? I am a Geosystems Engineering student at the University of Texas at Austin and I continually hear that we need to be heading to a clean energy future. I have been to guest lectures where scientists that are on the IPCC say that dangerous climate change will occur if temperatures rise between 2 and 3 degrees Fahrenheit. Now, new timelines have emerged and we have even less time than they thought. We need a fast solution to avoid this calamity. T. Boone Pickens proposes that we use wind to replace the electricity produced by natural gas and use that natural gas toward relieving the transportation sector from foreign imports. Although I believe he is looking in the right direction, I do not believe another carbon based fuel source is the answer. What do you think? I would like to support the "we can solve it campaign" but I do not know what I need to do. We as Americans can solve this problem but I just don't know where to start. Any Ideas?
