There is growing issue in this world today and it is not going to go away unless we do something now. I am talking about global warming, and the future of our planet is at stake. We must begin to phase out older methods of energy like coal and oil and move forward into a new clean energy source. There are so many issues here to discuss that I could go on forever, but I'll talk about a few of them to give you an idea of what I mean.
From the gulf oil spill disaster to the constant threat of toxic coal ash all across our country, this problem is continuing to grow and the EPA seems to do little about it. The recent oil spill in the gulf has caused damage that will be felt for many years to come. This is one of the biggest disasters in history; the effects are evident, our oceans, marine life, beaches, plant life, and air all suffered from this disaster. When are we going to wake up and realize what our pursuit of oil as a major energy source is doing to our planet? It is time to pursue new cleaner sources of energy. Along with oil our use of coal for energy is causing many issues for concern as well. Each year coal fired use of energy creates 140 million tons of coal ash in our country. The problem is that there are no federal standards in place to regulate the disposal of the coal ash. This toxic ash contains many deadly toxic elements that are dangerous to our heath. There are 137 sites in 34 states throughout the United States where coal ash affects our water supply and public health. The EPA has held eight hearings on this problem with the last one being in Knoxville Tennessee where the people there really made their voices heard loudly.
We need to speak out about these on growing issues much like they did in Knoxville. This is a moral issue that affects our planet along with every living creature that walks. Our government has a moral obligation to protect all living things from physical, mental, and psychological harm. It is just morally wrong to continue the methods in which we provide fuel and energy to our planet, it's slowly killing everything we have worked so hard to build and preserve. Our local communities are suffering everyday, look at the communities surrounding the gulf oil spill, many of the businesses have had to shut down and their way of life has been taken away from them. Look at the communities surrounding the coal ash problems, their health, water supply, and natural well being is at risk everyday. So yes, I do think this is a big moral issue that must be addressed now. This problem is not going to go away, it's going to take all of us, the people, government, everyone must really get serious and recognize the problem for what it is, and start doing something to save our planet starting today.
