Concho is right. There is no need to debate if global warming is caused by humans. It’s happening.
There’s real demand for clean industries/technologies. As a country, we need to position ourselves as the leader in the field. Look at Ford and GM. They got fat and happy on gas gluzzlers. They are now going bankrupt and will eventually need a taxpayer bailout. Toyota and Honda are a generation ahead in terms of technology.
I would retrofit my house with solar panels if the technology were cost effective. That would be an investment in our future well-being. Wouldn’t your children be happy to inherit a house that came with no utility bills?
If anything, green technologies will provide us a clean, pleasant environment to live in.
Remember the acid rain and smog alerts of the 1970s and 1980s? If it weren’t for the environmental movement, those problem would still be with us today. Thanks to environmental regulations, we have fairly clean cars and industries today. The problem that we need to tackle now is the CO2.
