When one plans to extract 20 Gigawatts (or any other huge amount of energy) from an ecosystem, one should ask, what role was that energy playing before? In the case of a waterfall that is turned into a hydroelectric plant, that energy might have simply been eroding the soil hit by the water and therefore transforming it into a power house has negligible consequences on the surrounding ecosystem. But in the case of wind farms, are we 100% sure we are not changing wind patterns in an unsafe way?

what sort of work or public service would be best suited for it be a resounding act.

Ok, I do know that it took thousands of years for the dead trees and shoots to get converted into oil and coal, but just thinknig can't something be done artificially in labs to speeden up the process...with so much technological advancement we keep talking about.

environment issue, in your opinion. There seems to be so many problems, but which one do you think we should work on first?

Is global warming just scar mungering by the green welly army.

I just read about solar blankets for swimming pool heating...can't there be solar blankets for home too...to cover our homes in such a way that they remain heated and we can save on the electricity..

teaching about global warming and on environmental issues now? They weren't when I was in school, but that was the DARK AGES, lol.
