Background and Context of DebateThe USA is the second-largest polluter in the world, passed in CO2 emissions last year by China. Washington has also declined to sign on to multiple international climate change agreements, most famously the Kyoto Protocol. President Bush's absence at the Johannesburg Summit on Sustainable Development is also notable. However, America is also at the cutting edge of many environmental technologies, including those related to alternative energy. Current US incentivesCommon alternative energy sources
Solor Power is the way to go for the futureYesBy switching to Solar power, the US would be able to make the enviroment a better place plus reduce US dependency on foreign oil, causing less money being spent overseas and more in US consumer's hands. [1] Solar power is abundant, clean, and renewable. And unlike oil, solar power barely produces Carbon dioxide. And also by reducing spending on foreign oil, the US becomes more independent, making it more capable of leading the world. |
