U.S. Climate Change Plan Is Idea Rich, Cash Poor

This article summarizes the ideas of how to reduce the CO2 admissions by the U.S. The government has has decided to make many new provisions to reduce them, but there is one major problem. It has a high cost to change our economy so much. Many jobs will be lost and a lot of companies are still in debt from creating their companies in the first place. Instead of burning coal the U.S. government will use wind turbines, solar panels, and nuclear power because none of those put green house gases in the atmosphere. Although it will cost a lot of money it will help our planet greatly. 

I personally believe that energy reforms need to happen. It will put our country into more debt but it will solve many more problems. With different energy sources in the U.S. the reduction of the Carbon Dioxide in the air and solve many more problems then it causes. Some of these problems are that with less CO2 there will be less air pollution. That will save many people from being harmed by the harmful gases in the air. These ideas not only include new types of energy being used but also more households to become more energy efficient. More people will be inspired to turn off lights when they leave the room and turn off the water when brushing. Also it will help to inspire other countries to build environmentally friendly facilities. If a country builds a dam or windmills in another country that isn't under Kyoto they are allowed to emit more admissions in the U.S. This might cause more pollution in the U.S. but it would make another country more eco-friendly. So I believe that these reforms would not only help the U.S. but all countries around the world.
