to help the environment in general as it was for civilians to grow there own food at home, recycle, ration and switch there entire companies over to making items for the war effort during World War II just without the fanfair and organized efforts at doing so because a degrading and collapsing environment and climate is as big a threat to the american way of life as the axis was and helping keep the climate stable and the environment healthy helps the war effort and the peace effort meaning everyone can feel patriotic doing this because it happens to be actually true no matter what your position on any currently contested issues?

  1. I believe this whole man made global warming thing and climate change is just c**p.

    That being said, I think it's a noble goal to reduce one's energy use of fossil fuels and switch to clean energy technologies.  There is more than this bogus climate change at stake.  

    Coal fired power plants dump all kinds of nasty stuff into the air, as well as the ash and slag left over.  More radioactivity comes from burning coal, like thorium, than comes from the entire nuclear power industry.  

    You would also be contributing to our country's energy independence from the regions of the world that despise us, and that we fund through our oil purchases.

    I cannot retrofit my home, due to condo HOA regulations, but I signed up for my municipal utility's green power program.  They charge me extra every month, and use that money to buy power from renewable sources and use it to build new ones.  

    Unfortunately, I also botched it recently by buying a car that was not nearly as fuel efficient as I had believed.
