If energy issues are ignored the future is quite dark. Our access to oil and natural gas reserves will be exhausted, nuclear waste will pile up ignored, and the environment will continue to become more and more polluted. With a little bit of work and though on the public bleak future will can be brightened.
If we keep doing what we are doing CO2 levels will keep rising just from people burning fossil fuels. Currently, nuclear waste is just stored in facilities on site at plants. Nuclear waste will build up and this could lead to easier nuclear proliferation. Coal burning power plants will continue to spread sulfur into the environment which creates acid rain.
We should deal with our energy issues as quickly as we can. Otherwise, we will fall down our slippery slope.

I think those who don't act do so because they think their efforts are too small to influence the whole environment. People tend to be free riders on this issue because they will enjoy the same benefit even if they do nothing. However, if nobody does anything. We'll all be affected by the polluted environment. I'm glad there are people who still care about these issues. And I think every one of us should take part into this action
Why is no one doing anything about the nuclear waste buildup in plants? I would have thought people would take care of this quickly!
You are right Voltair, something has to be done, but what do you propose that us as individuals can do to help?
margaret, Its the old parabal over how once a topic difficulty is observed the viewer gives up. Fixing the environment is like if the world had cancer. We could all give up and let it consume us, or we could fight back, and little by little win.
petra, Part of the reason not a lot is being done about these issues if they are'nt prevalent in the news. Plans for Yucca Mountain are scheduled in 2012, but still more should be done.
