With the way we are burning through it, energy just might be too cheap. But what can you really do about it? If there is a cheap option people will take it just too save money, and with the way the economy is, the government can’t just step in and start raising pricing, a good chunk of the country can barely survive as it is. Any major change would have to be a slow a tedious infrastructure overhaul and that may just be what we need. With that being said, is it possible to get everyone on the same page? Big business has their own agenda, especially the petroleum/oil companies which are pretty much needed for everything. All of the renewable energy sources have an upside depending on the area you are in. Solar panels in Michigan might be a bad idea.
Too reduce my energy footprint I can do many things:
• Turn off water while brushing teeth and lathering in the shower
• Turn off lights when not in room
• Buy local food
• Drive as little as possible
• Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
• Reusable water bottle
• Energy efficient appliances
