Response #11 to "Forum on State Money for Alternative Energy Draws More Than 100 to HACC"

This article is significant because of what it symbolizes. Around America, people and local governments and business are beginning to delve into the large amounts of money set aside by the stimulus package for alternative energy. Everyday people are finally realizing how important alternative energy is to both America's economy and the worlds climate. As I mentioned in a previous post, when there is money to be made, people will pay attention, and because there is now support pouring in from the government I think people will feel safer about investing into the alternative energy sector. This forum shows that local communities are beginning to become interested in the prospects that alternative energy offers. This kind of community driven effort to get alternative energy more widespread is exactly what is needed for the world to tackle the problem of climate change.
