It makes me ill to know how closed-minded the government in this area can be. I believe the utilization of renewable resources is imperative to the preservation of life on this planet. The enviromental costs of using oil, gas, and coal are far greater than costs to replace those with renewable resources. If more people had replaced fossil fuels with renewable energy (solar, wind, ect.) twenty years ago, Katrina may not have been as powerful and destructive as it was. I firmly believe in the link between our carbon footprint and the changing weather patterns we are experiencing today. I live in the southeast, Mississippi to be exact.
