Kilowatt Ours.... Change is Needed for Clean Energy

Sadly I am one of the many "ignorant" people who have no idea where our electricity actually comes from, I just never really thought about it.  Kilowatt Ours was a very educating video on where electricity comes from, I would recommend it to everyone to watch to educate themselves.  The largest source of energy in the United States is the use of coal.  The process to get coal stars by destroying mountains to collect the coal that lays underneath.  This alone is causing mass amounts of damage to the surrounding mountain towns including major destructive floods.  Once the coal is mined it is taken to be burned for energy.  The burning of coal to generate electricity produces extra Co2 in the air contributing to global warming.  The second largest source of energy in the United States is nuclear power.  Nuclear power is an "emission free" power source but it's polluting radioactive waste into our environment.  Neither of these options are "clean energy sources."  We need to take more advantage of the natural energy sources available that do not cause pollution or global warming or do not affect our planet in a negative way.  Sources are available such as wind turbines, solar energy, geothermal heating and so many more.  We need to take more advantage of these clean energy sources so we can live more Earth friendly and not have to worry about polluted air or dangerous, radioactive waste.
