<< Myth: Responding to global warming costs too much in dollars and jobs.
Reality: A new study shows that adoption of practices and technologies that
would reduce US emissions of carbon dioxide -- like energy efficiency,
renewable energy sources, and clean transportation -- would save billions of
dollars and generate hundreds of thousands of jobs.
Energy Innovations, a recently released study, shows that if the United
States turns away from fossil fuels and takes the path toward efficient use
of energy from renewable sources, net savings nationwide will reach $58
billion by the year 2010, which is about $530 per household. In addition, in
2010, the oil import bill would be $21 billion less than if the country
continues on the current energy path.
Both of these savings would contribute to expanded employment, with the
creation by 2010 of nearly 800,000 additional jobs. In addition, the study
shows the renewable energy path resulting in a small increase of $14 billion
in wage and salary income and a slightly higher gross domestic product (up
about $3 billion) than would occur on the current path. >>
Renewable energy needs to be the way of the future. Unfortunately
people like Bush discourage if not sabotage efforts to bring this about since
they are big in the oil industry. If we spent as much money supporting
research and development in alternative energy sources as we have spent
supporting oil companies ... the world could be much cleaner, especially in
large cities.
You can do something about this yourself by making your own devices to
heat water and provide heat for your home. It is much more simple that you
think. It can also pay for itself in two years or less if you go thermal,
photovoltaic is more expensive but easier ... you can even use an old Atari
computer to control your system. If you have an interest in this go to
alt.solar.photovoltaic or
alt.solar.thermal. The people there are very helpful and have good knowledge
about how to plan your system so you get it right the first time.
