Alrighty Moridin, sorry I'm late in replying...
Do you think global warming should be a top priority for world governments?
Absolutely. We need to start thinking of ourselves as a global community and stop all the bullshit about national boundaries in re: global warming, pollution, biodiversity, stripmining, etc.
Have you read any news articles or heard/watched any TV programs on global warming in the past 6 months? If so, do you remember the exact topic (i.e. Kyoto treaty, fossil fuel consumption)
Multiple programs on Discovery channel, public television, the Learning Channel. Most recent was a show about global warming trends and the specific effect on the pacific northwest aquifers and marine species.
Do you recycle? (recycling reduces the amount of debris in landfills and therefore reduces methane emissions) Always. I also recycle by maintaining older vehicles rather than buying new ones. And before someone asks, I have retooled the engines to meet mid-90's emission requirements...best I could do with 30+ year old engines....
How do you feel about Nuclear power as an energy source? Against or For
If against, why?
For it with the caveat that we must make it safer and cleaner before we can use it.
How much more would you be willing to pay for a car that used an alternative power source to gasoline? Depending on the cleanliness of the power source, probably double.
Would you be willing to pay more for electricity if your power company used alternative energy sources (i.e. wind/water generation, solar power)?
In a heartbeat. we currently heat with processed wood waste and light with candles. Our two-month electric bill is about $75.00
Who do you think is the main culprit of global warming
Consumers for their unwillingness to use ‘cleaner’ products because they cost more and are less available
Yes
Automotive and Oil companies for their unwillingness to change to alternative energy
Yes
Governments for their unwillingness to introduce and enforce stricter emissions laws
Yes
As a footnote, check into the application of Chaos theory and Self-Organizing Systems theory as it applies to the current global eco-health situation. fair warning: The results are far more frightening than a Stephen King novel...
