ith the acid rain problem are as follows. First, is energy worth more than the safety of our earth? Second, do we really need to use this much energy if it is harming our environment. Third, shouldnt we try to minimize the effects of acid rain if it is harmful.In conclusion, I have to say I feel that acid rain is a monster of our own creation. We obviously wouldnt have the need for so much energy if we could cut down the unneeded use of electricity. I also feel that at the current time we cannot afford to stop using these acid rain producing processes. I really wish we could. As a son of a coal miner, I know how coal mining put food on my plate. If coal mining was cut out it would drastically hurt our countrys economy. It might not hurt the economy all over the US but it will definitely hurt areas heavily populated by coal miners. I also think this about agriculture processes producing chemicals. It would be hard to think of an Earth without farming. That is an impossibility, our species could not survive without agriculture. Overall I believe that our current level of sophistication holds us back from bettering the Earth. I know it is bad to say but, our people our too busy worrying about whether our music is loud enough or our houses are lit at all times of the day. These things are ridiculous and petty to worry about. Until our society can mature enough to conserve energy and then hopefully someday we will be able to do without these chemicals....
