Alternative Energy Mega Projects


I’m going to say it straight off the bat; I’m a greenie, I love my bike above all other modes of transport, our Earth is going to hell in a hand-basket, and it’s the rich and industrialized nations of the world that are doing it to us!

Each of the methods below has been touted both a possible solution and as an environmentally friendly one
Jobs in Alternative Energy Industries are Taking Off

The study found that the occurrence of war was in sync with times of agricultural problems due to fluctuations in global temperature. With the UN warnings that desertification could displace up to 50 million does this mean war?
