A slow implementation of these renewable energy sources across the country with the goal of replacing nonrenewable energy plants should be the long-term goal.

The same tactic needs to be handled in the way we use oil for gasoline in the automobile industry. All the current cars being produced require the use of gasoline to run. The automobile industry as a whole needs to make a move to offer different types of alternative energy vehicles. Americans are limited in their options to buy alternative energy vehicles because they are not available. Increasing availability and options of these vehicles will become a starting point to moving away from our dependence on oil.

These efforts must be a focal point for all involved in order to shift the paradigm toward conservation and clean energy. Options must be made available to move away from our reliance on nonrenewable resources, even if they still exist in an abundance that would last through the following centuries. Environmental concerns must be at the forefront in this pursuit to ensure that the planet is available to be enjoyed for generations to come. This is an effort that everyone can have a part and voice in moving forward from taking part in their local government to make a difference in their communities to using available technology to make a difference in their own homes. By working together we can use the resources available to us and ensure that they will still be available to use and enjoy in the future.
