Why Renewable Energies?

• Our energy needs continue to grow as exemplified by the California energy crisis
• Fossil fuel energy supplys are running out
• Burning of fossil fuels is the main contributor to global warming and air pollution
• Dependency on fossil fuels makes the U.S. dependent on OPEC price controls
• Since most of the world’s supplies of fossil fuel are located in the Middle East, it forces the U.S. to be enbroiled in the politics and defense of this area
• Renewables are just that, renewable, with a never ending supply
• Renewables are non-polluting
• Renewables like solar, wind, and geothermal, once installed, do not have the continual cost of adding fuel
• Renewables are now affordable, especially with government rebates up to 50%+
