What if it Happened Here?


Imagine a world for our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren, one or two hundred years from now. Will it be a place of new found prosperity and wealth, or will it be a wasteland devoid of suitable living conditions for almost any form of life? That question can be answered today by answering a different question. How much longer are we as a planet going to depend on energy created through the use of archaic methods like burning oil, coal and natural gas? The use of fossil fuels has been rapidly changing and harming the world we live in, and the process becomes faster and more violent every day as we pump more and more dangerous chemicals and waste byproducts into the environment. If we don’t start doing more to invest in alternative energies now, we may not have a future. As a leader in the global community, we need to look at ourselves first before we can expect much from the rest of the world. The United States must lead by example, by implementing several new energy policies, which delimit the use of fossil fuels in our country and look towards mass scale employment of clean sources of energy, specifically focused on one of the most promising and realistic sources, nuclear energy, for any hope of a brighter tomorrow.
