Solutions: Energy
The current methods of energy generation are burning of fossil fuels and nuclear power plants.
Nuclear Fusion is still experimental and yet another method which requires a large organization to run.
Fusion would be tomorrow's version of nuclear power plants.
These need to be replaced with more sustainable methods.
There are many solutions for the question of sustainable energy.
Here are the most accessible ones:
Solar Water Heating
This technique has been used successfully for decades in Israel and around the Mediterranean. Home construction regulations in Israel require solar water heating installation. Water is heated by the sun, reducing demands for electrical power. This is a very simple, yet very effective way to reduce demands for electrical power.
Solar Electricity Generation
The Sun, the central body in our Solar System, is a Star ~ a huge ball of fusing hydrogen & helium. Unimaginably great waves of energy are continually radiated outward. Scientists have estimated that the Sunshine that falls on the Earth in a small portion of a single day actually carries enough energy to power our world-wide civilization for an entire year, if we knew how to use it efficiently. Solar panels are improving each year, producing more electricity with lower levels of sunlight. Each home could have solar panels on the roof, producing electricity and contributing to the grid. This would lower the electric bill dramatically.
Windmill Electricity Generation
An electric windmill generates electricity, contributing it to the grid. This reduces the demand on the utility. This has the potential to produce electricity for an entire community. Even though sometimes the wind is still, one electric windmill can produce enough electricity to power hundreds of homes.
Ocean Wave Electricity Generation
Vote for installation of ocean wave generation. Florida is a peninsula with plenty of energy in the water all around us.
Home Improvements
Install a solar water heater on your roof!
Install solar panels on your roof!
Install a small windmill to generate electricity!
Together with electrically powered transportation, solar panels, electrical windmills and solar water heating are the easiest, simplest ways to prevent global warming.

GeoThermal Energy
Are you a Snowbird? In Northern latitudes in the winter, cellars remain above freezing, while in the summer cellars are cooler than the surrounding air.
This simple fact is the basis for geo-thermal energy utilization and power generation.
The difference in temperature can be used to make electricity, and to warm homes in winter and cool homes in summer, reducing demands for electrical power for air-conditioning.
