Long Burning Fossil Fuels Fossils

More From John M. McHugh

All scientists who've looked at it know we have to phase away from burning fossil fuels. that means we've got to put a lot of effort into alternate energy technologies, but we're still subsidizing fossil fuels and not subsidizing most of the alternatives. it's not going to be an easy transition.
Mean Technology Effort
The true cost of the pollution that is being dumped into the atmosphere and manifests itself in our sick children dealing with asthma or older folks dealing with heart and lung disease from the pollutions created by the burning of these fossil fuels, may not be reflected in the prices of fossil fuels, but that does not mean we aren't paying a high price for them.
Children Heart Mean
The issue of climate change is one that we ignore at our own peril. there may still be disputes about exactly how much we're contributing to the warming of the earth's atmosphere and how much is naturally occurring, but what we can be scientifically certain of is that our continued use of fossil fuels is pushing us to a point of no return. and unless we free ourselves from a dependence on these fossil fuels and chart a new course on energy in this country, we are condemning future generations to global catastrophe.
Country Ignorance Issues
If we want energy security, then we have to reduce our appetite for fossil fuels. there's no other way. other issues may crowd the headlines, but this is our fundamental challenge. big challenges require bold action and leadership. to get the united states off fossil fuels in this uneasy national climate of terrorism and conflict in the persian gulf, we must treat the issue with the urgence and persistance it deserves. the measure of our success will be the condition on which we leave the world for the next generation.
Issues Challenges Way
Solar and wind are now cheaper in many places than some fossil fuels and within the next two years, three, four, five years at the most. what the exponential curve does isn't going to go away. it is totally over for fossil fuels and nuclear. nuclear's actually gone out.
Going Away Fossil Fuel
Coal, oil and gas are called fossil fuels, because they are mostly made of the fossil remains of beings from long ago. the chemical energy within them is a kind of stored sunlight originally accumulated by ancient plants. our civilization runs by burning the remains of humble creatures who inhabited the earth hundreds of millions of years before the first humans came on the scene. like some ghastly cannibal cult, we subsist on the dead bodies of our ancestors and distant relatives. - dr. carl sagan
