I definetely agree with Ben Alcorn. I also think that we need to figure out a different healthy way to get energy. :) I don’t think that any of these choices are great.

Many of their cars have better fuel efficiencies, but they have different emission laws. Cars in America have a maximum level of fuel efficiencies that aren't in Europe.

I understand that solar and hydro and wind cost a whole lot more than nuclear and gas power. But in the long run solar, wind, and hyrdo power will be profitable and it will be quite revolutionary. We'll be a green nation, and we'll be following after Europe. Did you know that 20% of Germany's energy source comes from wind power? And France is advancing in the nuclear power field. We need to preserve what can't be renewed and start recycling to help this nation a long. I support solar, hydro, and wind power above all other types of energy.

Coal and gas are not environmently friendly and will someday run out. There needs to be another sulution regarding energy.
