  2. Cleaner air, living longer, less energy costs, better economy.

    This is the only known planet that we as humans can survive in. If you want to live you should go green.

  3. Clean drinking water, clean air and no trash laying around. Clearly benefits.

    However, it how we get there.

    Unlike JulieD, I don't need smart people telling me what to do and how to live my life.

    The future will bring more efficient solar panels, the possible use of under water turbines using ocean and river currents and other technologies to generate electricity.

    Electric cars will become more feasible with longer travel distances. More energy efficient electrical appliances. More thermal efficient contruction practices.

    But, the plain and simple truth is that these technologies are not affordable to the masses today. There is no guarantee they will ever come to the masses.

    Today, Frace gets 80% of it's electrical power from nuclear power plants. The US can not build a nuclear power plant, because our "green" community will not allow it. Either the ground being used to build on is sacred because some animal or plant lives there or (name you excuse). There is always a reason.

    Solar may never be an option on a mass scale. The amount of solar panels need to generate electricity on a large scale will take away from the farm land used to grow food. I don't know how well plants will grow under a solar panel, but I imagine it will not work well.

    There are only a few places on Earth that have sustained winds strong enough to make wind turbines a viable option.

    Today the US faces an energy crisis. We have viable clean options avaible to us. However, for thirty to forty years or elected politicians have screwed us into the situation we have today.

    Today, an electrical company that wants to build a power plant with suffer through about 3 - 7 years of red tap to be allowed to "start" building. 3-7 years of RED TAPE. Getting permission from the federal, state and local government. Doing eviromental impact studies to please the tree huggers and in turn the democrat party that stands in the way of every single energy plan to generate more power in this country.

    Unfortunately, fossil fuels are the short term solution. The resources of coal for clean coal power plants are viable today. The US has the largest natural gas supply in the world - today. The US has the highest supply of oil in our shale deposits in the world - TODAY. We have more oil in shale than every Middle Eastern country country that exports oil combined. TODAY we have these sources. We have never had a nuclear accident from nuclear power plant in this country. We have nuclear power technology TODAY.

    Had our energy policy be different for the past thirty years, the US could be ENERGY INDEPENDENT - TODAY.

    Instead we face ten year construction times frames to even build these facilities. 10 Years. Ten years to build a new nuclear power plant. Ten years to build a new oil refinery or drilling facility. Ten years to build a clean coal power plant. Ten years to build. That's after the 3-7 years to study the enviromental impact of the facility.

    We are the stupidest people on the planet. China is building 17 coal fired power plant a way. Not clean coal power plants. But, circa 1700's Industrial Revolution coal fired power plants. 17 coal plants a day belching acid rain generating fog into the air.

    The US can't build a single clean coal power plant in less than ten years.

    On top of that we have a guy running for president who's energy policy consists of waiting around twiddling our thumbs until some sort of "alternative energy" becomes available and taxing carbon output on the current producers of our energy. The alternative might be fifty years away, but he doesn't care. His voter block likes the idea of paying carbon taxes and walking to work to offices without A/C.

  4. I like the word "sustainable".  That means we can keep doing what we are doing and how we are living forever without running out of any limiting resource such as energy, food, space, water, air, etc.  It is probably only theoretical in concept since we can never predict the future 100% but it is attainable to a fairly close degree if we have smart people studying the situation and listen to them.
