Alte ative Energy for a Changing Climate
Why are alte ative energy sources, to our current reliance of "fossil fuels", so important? If we as a society are to solve the problem of putting extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere then we need to find another way to power our cars, heat and produce electricity for our homes and business, and produce much of our food. Our society relies so heavily on the combustion of fossil fuels that there probably isn't one magic bullet - but probably a combination of approaches that will need to be employed.

Fracking and Tar Sands
Fracking Fracking is not a good thing if we're trying to reduce global warming causes and impacts. I provide a background on hydraulic fracturing and environmental impacts. What is Hydraulic Fracturing or "Fracking"? Hydraulic fracturing is the process of creating fractures in rock with the purpose of releasing a fluid under pressure. This "fluid" is usually gas or petroleum as far as the fossil fuel industry is conce ed. These fractures also occur naturally as in the case of "veins" or "dikes", where magma from deep within the earth flowed towards the surface.
