Why Our Energy Policies and Habits Demand Radical Change

Have you bothered to take a look out the window lately? If so, are you concerned by the oppressive smog that is likely draped over your city or town or by the oily sheen that is polluting your local waterways? These serious environmental problems are the direct result of our over dependence—suicidal dependence, some would (rightly?) argue—on conventional fossil fuels, all of which are carbon-based, limited in supply, and highly contaminating. It’s not just a problem for America, but it’s a problem for all countries across the planet whether they are developed, in the process of development, or seriously underdeveloped; similarly, it’s a problem that we are going to have to find collective solutions to.

The environmental aspect of things is what most alarms people at this point, as we increasingly realize that our failure to develop green energy solutions is going to put our children and grandchildren’s lives and livelihoods at risk. If you care at all about leaving behind hospitable and enjoyable ecosystems for future generations, much less about giving those future people the chance to see some of the species of life that we have been able to enjoy (and which occupy crucial positions within the food chains of those ecosystems), then you must come to the realization that it is time for us all to drastically change the course of our energy habits and national energy policy.

The development of more and better green energy alternatives won’t only be driven by an abstract, lofty concern for the planet and for future generations, however; it will most likely find its greatest impetus from rather selfish concerns such as our desire to be able to actually save some of our hard-earned money rather than have to waste it all on exorbitant energy prices. People are tired of getting energy bills for their home that read like they must be for an entire factory’s worth of machinery operating non-stop, and they are also tired of getting energy bills that don’t have anything to do with last month’s bill (or the following month’s bill for that matter). What people want is affordability as well as predictability when it comes to their energy prices and they want that now, which is why we all need to start pressing our politicians to at the very least offer some sort of debate on the matter.

And politics really does play a role here, not just domestically but internationally. The ugly truth that few of us want to discuss but which just about all of us (at least those that stay abreast of current affairs) know already, is that our energy supplies are ultimately coming from countries that are governed by regimes that have little love for our own country. As we pollute our air and our rivers and oceans as well as our soil, we are at the same time fattening the cash reserves of governments that, openly or not, want to undermine us in one way or another. Isn’t it time, then, that we started looking for other energy solutions like green energy a little more seriously?
