Re: The solutions to Global Warming include. . .
There is no single magic bullet. However there are a number of steps we can take to solve the issue.
1. Education! Clear up the misinformation about GW.
2. Compact flourescent bulbs!
Small change, yet if everyone used them (or leds) instead of incandescant bulbs it would be a huge help.
3. More efficient engines for transportation. Internat combustion engines are only 10%-25% efficient. Triple that and you are using one third the fuel (even if it remains gas).
4. Insulation and energy efficiency of homes and buildings. The operation of homes and buildings take a huge amount of energy. The more efficient those are the better off we all are.
5. Alternative energies. Use more wind, solar, geothermal, hydro and tidal power. We have all of the above in abundance.
6. Stop giving HUGE amounts of subsidies and tax breaks to oil companies. a) they don't NEED it. b) the subsidies could be much better spent on alternative fuel research. It creates an unfair competition advantage for the oil companies so we get stuck with old technology.
