 * Safe Energies **


 * Sponsors **: TFlynn (Nebraska-independent) & CFriedler (Oregon- independent)


 * Purpose: ** Safe Energies are a plan to help in the long run. It Implies a source of energy that won't harm us or the environment. Coal & oil harm are environment like all fossil fuels. Wind, solar, geothermal, & small scale hydro are what we should turn to. They have an infinite supply unlike fossil fuels and do not harm the environment. Changing to one of these renewable sources will help keep the environment clean and still give us just as large of an energy source. It will befit all including the environment by reducing the pollution rate.


 * Eligibility: ** Safe Energies should effect the whole planet. It will benefit humans and animals alike.


 * Terms and Benefits: ** The benefits are that it will help keep are air cleaner longer and will provide more electricity in the long run. When this plan is put into effect we hope it will last longer then the age of the fossil fuels.


 * Fiscal Impact: ** Depending on the route we take is what depends on the cost. If we went with solar panels it would cost 92.50 for a cheap single panel that is a 50watt panel.(50watts per hour). If we went with geothermal it would cost $1500-$3000 for a one ton geothermal unit or you could spend $300,000 for a wind turbine that would produce 300 kilo watts of electricity per hour.
