Jensen Bohren: Total shift to green energy sources and transportation

I also believe that encouraging green energy sources, green transportation, and green business practices will greatly benefit our economy in the long run. In addition to shifting to green energy production, our utility providers should be encouraged to become co-ops instead of companies. Sharing in the benefits of your own energy production or conservation should be encouraged and will prevent price gouging in utility bills. This will also set the foundations of a solar-powered grid.
