New Energy

With all the hustle and bustle of Mt. Redoubt errupting, you think we could turn this eventful occurance into something positive. Mt. Redoubt did remind me of all the possible renewable sources of energy that we could attain from such a huge natural deposit of energy. Geothermal energy could be a potentially huge source of energy to the world if it was harvested. Not to mention it does not contribute a largescale amount of harmful gas emmisions to the atmosphere such as cars, buildings, and factories do. It amazes me that there are so many pollutants dispersed into the world's airstream just because we have no other methods to decrease that dispersion. Or rathere, we are not using those other methods. There are renewable energy sources around us everyday. Wind, water, solar, and geothermal are all types of energy that are not harvested in large quantities and used to their potential. Instead, the people of this world are stuck in a routine of using pollutants to power their cars. It is astronaumical the amount of pollutants and greenhouse gases that get dumped into the atmosphere every day that could be prevented. Just some food for thought.
