It is really sad that the people all around the world have been suffering because of tainted drinking water, and all of the other natural resources being destroyed. He explains how the politicians all around the world have been creating stimulous packages so they could save their own economies. But, I think that they are overlooking the different forms of energy that could be used instead of electricity, water, and air. Maybe they overlooked how people can take energy from many different places, such as plants and other animals. I remember seeing some people in cartoons, that I saw when I was young, using hamsters running on hamster wheels with giant pieces of steak attached to the tops of the wheel in order to generate power for their community. I know it is only a cartoon, but maybe people could use those kinds of ideas to solve the problem of energy in our country.
