Gulf Oil spill Underlines the need for Renewable Energy Including Biofuels, Solar and Wind
MANLIUS, Ill. – June 8, 2010 – Keith Bolin, President of the American Corn Growers Association (ACGA) stated today that after 50 days of oil spilling in the Gulf of Mexico since the British Petroleum disaster, it is becoming even more apparent that a new, cleaner source of renewable energy must take the place of fossil fuels such as oil. “Solar Energy is what originally produced fossil fuels in vast quantities and solar energy is now the answer. It has only been in recent history that oil consumption has overshadowed use of other, more renewable energy sources as the industrial age began. Through this time we have wasted vast quantities of solar energy that could have replaced this stored energy source to a great degree and with much less chance of environmental disaster such as we now face in the Gulf of Mexico” he stated. |
