Green Energy and Recycling

All energy sources have some impact on our environment. Fossil fuels-coal, oil, and natural gas-do substantially more harm than renewable energy sources by most measures, including air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife and habitat loss, water use, land use, and global warming emissions.  Renewable energy is one of the most effective tools we have in the fight against climate change, and there is every reason to believe it will succeed. A recent New York Times column seems to imply that renewable energy investments set back efforts to address climate change nothing could be further from the truth.
