Energy...yikes. Where to begin?? The Energy crisis has been a huge topic of discussion in the past few years. Fossil fuels are running out and polluting the environment at the same time. We desperately need to find new sources of energy. Solar, wind, and hydroelectric energy are on the forefront of discussions, however, little has been done to implement these sources of energy. On January 8, President Obama took a huge step and distributed $2.3 billion for clean new-tech manufacturing jobs. This is good for the environment and provides many unemployed people with jobs. This is a great, yet bold, step in the right direction.
