Alternative Energy and the Coastal Environment
- "Numerous studies have established that our reliance on fossil fuels (coal, oil, natural gas, gasoline) is a polluting and non-sustainable practice that has serious long-term repercussions (rising sea levels, acidification of the oceans, stronger and more frequent storms) for the earth (see Surfrider Foundations article on global warming for more details). These changes are likely to be felt most strongly along our coasts. Breaking our reliance on fossil fuels will require development of a number of alternative sources of energy that are renewable and non-polluting." - excerpt from Surfrider Foundation's newly published article on alternative energy.
