Energizing Tournament

Here in the United States, we are being deliberately lied to regarding what the rest of the world is doing on behalf of environmental issues. The continued utilization of fossil fuels is a complicated issue, but the world is rising to meet the challenge through the use of renewable sources of energy. The amount of energy required to run the whole world is almost beyond comprehension, and growing daily.

It is interesting [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to hear some of the political leaders, and their green thinking, now that environmental problems have been exposed in the open. There are a few good signs - for example, the most recent California governor drove a hybrid Hummer. Aside from driving a hybrid, Schwarzenegger likewise got a $3,000,000,000 solar energy program passed, proving himself as green as they [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] come. The federal government, nevertheless, has been falling back far behind, particularly the Bush administration, what with their involvement with the big oil companies. Not only did they do nothing to help the green movement, they refused to even say there's a problem.

This seems to give most folks the idea that things are the same the world over, but nothing could be further from the truth. It's simply that the US refuses to participate. In Australia, for instance, they've declared that by the year 2016 they will be using renewable energy for at least 60% of their energy needs. Imagine what a great difference that would make in the United States. In Germany, they lead the world in the use both wind energy and solar energy. By 2020, at least 20% of their entire energy consumption will come from renewable sources. In Norway, they already use NO fossil oil to fill their energy requirements; rather they use 99% renewable sources of energy. It has no fossil oil imports, and exports virtually all of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] its resources in oil, making it the world's third biggest exporter.

Brazil could have fascinating political situations, but it has become South America's clean energy leader. Virtually all of [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the transportation in Brazil [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] has been converted [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to using ethanol, and the aim is [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] for [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] the whole country to run completely on ethanol. Ethanol is a biofuel that can be made from sugar cane, and it costs more or less half of a gallon made from oil. If the United States [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] did the same thing, the savings on oil would be close to 2 trillion dollars. This merely gives you an idea of the steps being made [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] throughout the rest of the world in order to clean our beautiful, green planet up.

In the US we lead other nations in the production of greenhouse gases, being the world's biggest users of petroleum. The world can continue doing their part, but without Americans doing their part, the process [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] won't be complete. As long as we keep our eyes closed [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] and go our own dirty way, the world will persist to unclean.
