The movement towards alternative energy is extremely encouraged and provides new opportunities for technology, ideas, and labor. The fossil fuel family has been used throughout history and has provided a very effective role in North America during the Industrial Revolution, and the expansion of America. The use of coal in the United States is mainly due to its central location and access points in the US, the ample amounts, and the opportunity and efficiency to immediately ship the resource by rail or ship. Alternative sources of energy can create this sort of economic boom in the US in a much safer and environmentally friendly way!
