Is this my future?

Question

Cheney wants to build 130,000 more power plants wich will lower co2 emissions but also raises the risk for an "accident" like chernobyl. its funny how we blame our people for not changing but honestly i believe its our government. we have been lied to for many years and that puts us in the hole even more because its my generation who knows nothing .. im 15 most of my friends know nothing about global warming. how can we change the world if we dont even know the truth?

its my generations world that is being altered and we are the ones who will see the up rise or the fall. But when your 15 16 or 17 global warming prob. isnt on the like list for topics to talk about. but it needs to be it is important that we know and it needs to be understood that all this is going on. most people and kids dont even know the dien out of honey bees which will lose us 1/3 of fruits and pollunated goods. is it my future that will have "fake" fruits. what about my american land. if our poles are melting which they are and water moves in will my house be swept under water? because i live on the coast it will. where will i go? and even worse i live within 20miles of TWO power plants. if there is an "accident" that they forget to tell us again what will happen to me? will i lose everything as i know it? most likely. its a scary thought but it is the truth.
