There are plenty of other options for clean energy. <br /><br>Here in Alabama, we use a lot of hydro-electric facilities, and about 30% of the electricity here is from nuclear. Although nuclear isn't the cleanest source of energy, it is quite powerful, and much cleaner than coal.</p><br><br><p>Vote with your dollar, let your representatives know how you feel, and be as green as you can and encourage others to do the same. Economics speak louder than legislation. Green is profitable, and will soon take over the current business models of do it cheap and look the other way.</p>JohnMon, 16 Jul 2007 08:18:27 -0000
