Renewable energy in the USA was less than 10% of our total energy production at of the end of 2010. When you add up the hidden cost below of using non renewables in the USA renewable energy cost less than non renewables in dollars and human sacrifice.
What goes up into the atmosphere must come down. A through L are reasons for increasing the use of more renewable energy sources in the USA.
A. Renewable energy does not cost the American tax payers tens of billions of dollars every year in military cost.
B. Thermal solar and wind power will never have a price increase causing a recession and causing millions of people in the US to be unemployed.
C. American renewable energy sources will keep American wealth home where it belongs.
D. Thermal solar and wind power will never raise the temperature of the atmosphere we live and breathe every day.
E. Thermal solar and wind power does not use tens of billions of tons of drinking water every year and then release this water into the air we breathe in the form of water vapor.
The burning of fossil fuels and nuclear power plants also puts tens of billions of tons of water vapor into the air we breathe causing record breaking rain and snow fall to American cities.
F. Thermal solar and wind power will never be responsible for nuclear proliferation around the world.
G. Thermal solar does not cause our oceans and lakes to become acidic and not support marine life necessary to sustain human life.
H. Thermal solar and wind power will not cause mountains to disappear in rural America, and release toxic mercury into our environment.
I. Wind turbines and solar panels will never cause the evacuation of people in a 50 mile radius like Japan experience in 2011.
J. Solar thermal panels and wind turbines can be recycled and are not radioactive for thousands of years
K. Thermal solar is not responsible for tens of billions of medical dollars cost associated with the use of fossil fuels.
L. Thermal solar and wind power is not responsible for smog and elevated ozone levels in cities that adversely affect the health of millions of Americans
