The Beginning of a New Beginning

"Our generation must be the one that says, 'we must halt global warming.' Our generation must be the one that says 'yes' to renewable fuels and ends forever our dependence on foreign oil. And our generation must be the one that builds the new energy economy. It won't be easy, but it is time to ask the American people to be patriotic about something other than war." – John Edwards

These are bold words coming from Democratic Candidate John Edwards on the future of Americas fuel dependency, and its change towards the future of alternative energy sources.

Is he right though? Thats the question. Many people in America would agree that Global Warming is an issue that needs to be addressed as quickly as possible, but the question is "When?"

Is now the right time to do something about this issue?

In my own personal opinion I say yes. With the increasing threat of Global Warming, America just can't stand by and watch it happen in front of its eyes anymore. Surely there are other more pressing issues currently, but I think that this one is one that needs not to be overlooked.

However, as I have looked upon many of the Presidential Candidates stances on the issue, I see that they agree with me...for the most part.
