Make Some Green By Going Green

Friday, March 21, 2008


Some believe that greening our economy is not plausible because it would be too costly and that it would harm our economy. That ideology is insupportable due to the amount of research and data proving that making our economy slightly more environmentally friendly would, in fact, benefit our economy.If we voluntary changed our individual lifestyles and if the government implemented mandatory greenhouse gas emission caps, our society would have a more sustainable economy and we would inevitably save money. Those that fear a greener economy tend to believe that by moving away from fossil fuels and decreasing our dependence on oil will hurt the job market and lead to a recession. Oil companies hope that our dependence on oil will continue because of the profit they make from drilling and selling the resource. Also, some fear that with the transition to renewable resources, the auto industry will suffer a decrease in jobs and lose money. However, there is money to be made by investing in renewable resources with producing and selling the energy. It will in actuality expand the job market and increase the middle class. The economy would have just as many jobs while giving businesses and entrepreneurs the chance to cash in on some of the new greener opportunities.

Instead of companies processing oil and making plastic, they can build and maintain windmills. In fact, with the rapid growth in the wind industry, companies such as Enel North America Inc., which is the leading owner and operator of renewable energy projects in the US, are having trouble finding trained technicians to assemble windmills. With this growing demand, it opens up an entirely new job market with new financial opportunities.

The exotic technology of a hybrid vehicle is gradually improving and the popularity of alternative energy transportation is on the rise. It would be economically feasible to invest in renewable technology production and would secure the US’s position as an energy leader.

We are running out of nonrenewable energy. It’s a fact that fossil fuels will not be in supply forever. The glory days of cheap oil are coming to a fast end and the need for mass production of renewable energy is inevitable.
