Do you think global warming should be a top priority for world governments?
One of the highest. Along with preserving native forests and wild life. What will the world be like without forests? Concrete. Then again, what will the world be like if the sun is so hot you can't go outside.
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)
I can't say that I have actually
Do you recycle? (recycling reduces the amount of debris in landfills and therefore reduces methane emissions)
Yep - Paper (cardboard) and bottles.
How do you feel about Nuclear power as an energy source? Against or For
If against, why?
It seems pretty powerful. But it is also quite unstable. I would have to say against
How much more would you be willing to pay for a car that used an alternative power source to gasoline?
Hmmm, I am not sure. I think I would be willing to pay $5,000 more or so. But I think it would only work if this was the only option. Car dealers would have to put profit aside, and think about the future for this to happen though. And frankly, I can't see that happening in a hurry
Would you be willing to pay more for electricity if your power company used alternative energy sources (i.e. wind/water generation, solar power)?
That sounds reasonable enough. I think I would do it, but once again, its up to the majority
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
Automotive and Oil companies for their unwillingness to change to alternative energy
Governments for their unwillingness to introduce and enforce stricter emissions laws
I think it is a combination of a lot of different people. Firstly, all companies need to change their priorities. I know that there are a lot of changes, and efforts being made by car companies to produce cars which run on electricity, or fuel cells. Governments could do a lot more, by bringing in laws to restrict the use of certain products. This would get the majority of people going...
Unfortunately it would seem that not enough people care about this.
"Why should I do it, knowone else does" is a commonly heard attitude. It sux, the work has to start somewhere.
Anyway, thats my two sense (or was it cents?)
