Cost of trapping green power makes projects a tougher sell
During this economy, America is looking to save a few bucks rather than do the right thing. Over the last decade or so, there has been a lot of talk and opinions about trying to conserve energy and stop pollution on the earth. Unfortunately, we have taken a few steps back in terms of trying to go green. Going green sometimes means spending more green, as some of these more energy friendly companies and programs are more expensive. For example, wind farms are more expensive than natural gas, so in these times the government is not willing to let people spend more on their bills at the end of the month. There is no doubt that today, clean energy is more expensive, but looking into the future it may continue to become cheaper as fossil fuels begin to become scarce. As of now though, this country is moving forward without clean energy.
