the economic impact of renewable energy

As the sting of our quickly diminishing economy starts to hit home with many of us, we look at what is causing much of what we as Arapahoe students are experiencing. While there are very few at our school who are truly suffering we still are literally paying the price for the increase in price of gasoline. And as the costs of filling our tanks go up, so does the cost of our lunches. Our foreign relations do not seem to be fixing themselves very quickly and so we must look progressively at what might be a solution for our problems. One way to kick-start an improvement in our economy would be to lessen our dependency on foreign oil and gasoline. If we look toward different energy sources in the future, we could also see a better economy in the future.

Below is a link to an article discussing the benefits of renewable energy in Pennsylvania, imagine what could happen to Colorado and its image if we were to create some initiative in this field.
