The Carbon Footprint Of Oil Has Just Gotten Smaller
Added: (Tue Apr 14 2009)
The Del Valle Speech and Debate Team on March 1, 2009 began a series of international debates on alternative energy with schools from over 10 countries. The first debates began with a debate with a school from Moscow.
"Beginning a little over a year and half since former Vice President Al Gore won his Nobel Peace Prize, we at Del Valle began our The People Speak debates. These debates allow our students to research, judge, and learn how students from all over the world view alternative. We are teaching them from the ground up by bringing the world to our classroom through video conferencing. This leaves a very small carbon footprint but a very large impression. Unlike Al Gore who flies around the country and the world in private plane, we are allowing our students the same concept of sharing ideas but without the large carbon footprint. Maybe it is a fact that the former Vice President missed in his current global warming campaign. Could the entire premise that we have based our alternative energy on be wrong? Is oil the real alternative? Considering the fact that oil maybe chemical in make up and not biological as has been "considered" a fact for the past two hundred years, we should give more attention to what controls our markets and how we are being controlled. The biggest footprint maybe by big oil on the backs of all the people they are stepping on."
