current event for 11/5

I came across this video when I was looking on the National Geographic Daily News website.





We have talked about purchasing renewable energy in class and for the most part it doesn't seem to have an immediate benefit which is what people are looking for. PSE offers a renewable energy option but that does not mean that you will be actually using that renewable energy as well as paying extra for something that should be cheaper to produce. Purchasing a wind turbine for those areas that can produce cheaper energy for others is a great alternative! If I owned a house that was in an area with lots of wind, I would definitely spend the couple thousand in order to produce my own energy! In the end, my ecological footprint would be greatly reduced without significantly changing my everyday habits.
