the military to protect our national interests, and over $100 billion/year for tax credits and
subsidizing these 100 year old toxic and destructive fossil fuel industries, and countless billions
for futile environmental cleanups.
Health Aspects:
We generate 71% of our electricity by fossil fuels and in the course of doing so emit 10.3 million tons of
sulfur dioxide, 3.9 million tons of nitrogen oxides, 2.4 billion tons of carbon dioxide, and over 50 tons of
mercury every year. These emissions are toxic to human health and constitute a serious public health
problem. A recent report by Abt Associates concluded that fine particle emissions from fossil fuel
electricity generation kill around 30,000 Americans a year, a rate higher than those killed by drunk
driving or homicide.
In addition to the serious human health effects, emissions from fossil fuel electricity generation are the
single largest contributor to global warming, responsible for 36% of the country's emissions of carbon
dioxide. Global warming is the most significant environmental threat facing the world today, with
predicted effects ranging from a dramatic rise in sea levels, inundating many heavily-populated parts of
the world; habitat changes that could wipe out entire ecosystems; and increasingly severe weather
patterns that are anticipated to cost many lives and billions.
According to the DOE, 36% of CO2, the greenhouse gas emission comes from electric generation, by
burning fossil fuel.
There are lots of incentives for you to go solar.
Ask your local solar representative for more details about other local benefits and rebates.
