Albert N. Gore on Energy & Oil

 


Explore solar and wind; petroleum is not renewable

Q: How can the United States become more energy independent?

A: First, we must really understand the natural resources we have and find better ways to make these resources generate energy. This country has a vast network of underground and surface water and all it would take would be one great disaster to ruin our water supply or halt navigation and transportation of goods and services. We need to explore solar and wind power to develop energy efficient buildings, vehicles and manufacturing plants. Petroleum and coal are not renewable resources. Neither is water due to climate change. As the earth becomes more arid, we need to find ways of creating energy that would supply our national needs and perhaps help replenish water and air.
