Let's talk about Green Energy Again

  Talking about “green” energy and how we should be using it in every facet of our lifestyle has been done to the point no one really cares anymore. Every radio and TV show out there has done a segment on it. We all know that currently it is not possible to make any type of “green” car that is practical. Prices are about 40% higher than oil powered cars, and houses are catch fire when charging up these “slot cars”. Required charging stations are not in places that would need them the most, for instance in rural America.             Environmental people say that we should start using these “green” fuels right away. What are we to do in the meantime? We still need to get around in a short amount of time, deliveries still need to be made, planes need to fly etc. Bicycles won’t be able to reliably replace any type of public transportation. The economy would get worse due to the increase cost and time that it would take to deliver products.  Overnight delivery would be a thing of the past. Getting to the hospital for an emergency would also be hindered Why can’t we just make a compromise so that we start doing in-depth research into making the “green” fuels practical and keep using the fossil fuels? This would allow our way of life to continue and evolve while starting to replace fossil fuels with alternative types of energy. Environment groups don’t go for this because their mantra is just say no to anything that they do not agree with. I’m sorry forest people but we have gotten use to our way of life. We like our cars, boats and getting across the country in less than 2 weeks. We do not purposely go around and destroy the planet. Until the human ewoks decide to make some type of compromise, this battle will continue on as long as man (and womyn) are on this planet.
