Renewables & The Environment
Four Reasons Why Thermal Solar and Wind Power
are Better for our Environment & America’s future:
Fossil fuels each year are responsible for putting
billions of tons of carbon dioxide and other toxic chemicals into our
environment called greenhouse gases.
1. Thermal solar and wind
power does not require large oil and natural gas fields some
the size of RI or mini cities called ocean rigging platforms, dangerous coal
mines and refineries all of which consume vast amounts of fossil fuels. The
drilling for oil and natural gas and the strip mining for coal is
environmentally destructive and changes our landscape
forever.
- Natural gas has the
least amount of carbon dioxide output (when burned efficiently) of all three
major fossil fuels used in the world. It should be used to temporarily replace
all fossil fuel consumption in this country, until renewable energy has time to
grow and replace fossil fuel consumption.
2. Thermal solar and wind
power does not require: large rail cars, vast miles of pipe
lines, large trucks or ships; all of which consume vast amounts of energy to
transport fossil fuels half way around the world.
3. Thermal solar and
wind power does not require hundreds of billions of US
Taxpayers dollars each year to insure its security and safe
transportation.
4. Thermal solar and the wind power have
no toxic byproduct that pollute our ground, air, rivers and lakes and
is non radioactive after being used. Radio active waste from a nuclear power
plant although very small will remain deadly for thousands of years.
