Our thirst for oil makes oil spills unavoidable and thats why its necessary that all oil importing countries reduce their oil consumption and find alternative engergies. Now America being the 2nd largest oil producter has other possiblities compared to oil arm countries like Germany.
The first point is energy conservation. Use less resources in a intelligent manner. Remember, Carter and his 55mph speed limit? It cost the taxpayers nothing, but saved a lot of oil per day.
Better insolation of homes, solar plates on your homes and business cuts the need for atomic energy. There is lots to do and many ideas doesnt cost any money, but demands we change our life style.
Example, many people water their lawn during the middle of the day when the sun shines the most. A waste of water. Better is either in the early morning or evening, and with a timer you dont even have to leave your TV couch. When your cleaning your teeth, turn off the water untill you actually need the water. Understand my point?
Because America wast the most energy, you are the country that can make the most improvement in energy conservation and save money at the same time. If we all thought like our grandparents during the 30s and 40s it wouldnt be difficult to save without giving up our high living standard.
For example TVs and washing machines are more effiecient than they were 5 years ago. Just buy the right appliance and you do alot for yourself and the environment.
Do americans in a large way see a need to change their ways, or are they waiting for laws forcing them to consume energy more intelligently eg cars with better gas milage?
