Late in October the Obama administration and the Senate began efforts to address the problem of global warming and spur the innovation and implementation of new energy sources. Senators Kerry and Boxer introduced a bill that would institute a cap on carbon emissions and promote businesses who employ clean energy.
The government also announced that it will be giving billions of dollars in subsidies to improve the country’s power grid and fund more energy research. Currently, over half of the nation’s energy comes from coal and petroleum, both of which have been proven to have an adverse affect on the environment. There are many alternative energy sources being researched to be a replacement.
