This comic from xkcd.com puts the issue lightly, presenting it in a humorous way. But I feel that it symbolizes the opinion of the general public when it comes to alternative energy. We still don't trust any of the alternative energy sources that are out there enough to let them replace or current fossil and natural gas fuels. However at some point we will need to face up to reality. With energy demand expected to rise through 2030, we need to get serious before we exhaust our already depleted supply of natural resources. If alternative energy is going to work anywhere, it needs to work on a small scale first, and a college campus like FGCU, is the perfect place to start an alternative energy revolution.
