Welcome to Eco Tech Planet!

Hello Everyone,
    
     I am starting this site http://www.ecotechplanet.com/ in order to provide an overview of not only environmental conditions and the effects they are having on our planet, but also new innovative technological advancements, especially in the field of transportation. As most people have begun to realize, our planet is truly suffering from our careless actions. As citizens of the world, it is our duty to help and protect the planet, in order to preserve earth for future generations. Therefore, we need to stop bickering when it comes to taking action to preserve the environment. Legislative bodies worldwide need to create bipartisan climate legislation so we can finally steer down the right path. We can only hope that world leaders will make more substantial progress at the 2010 United Nations Climate Conference in Cancún, Mexico, (Nov. 29- Dec.10) than was made last year in Copenhagen. For those who remain skeptical, if we can at least encourage them to take care of the environment by not wasting, polluting, or conducting other actions that harm the environment, then we will be on the right track. After all, just because one person is skeptical about climate change doesn't mean they disagree with protecting the planet.

     The twenty-first century is an era full of amazing new technological advancements. These advancements will likely prove to be highly beneficial in helping solving the climate crisis and protecting the environment. The downside is, in order to make these new technological developments a reality, frequently extensive production is required which can have a counteractive negative effect on the original purpose. When it comes to transportation technology, there are many new methods of creating low, if not zero emissions vehicles. Within the next five years we will begin to see an influx of additional hybrids and most importantly electric and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles. Yet we must ask ourselves, by owning an electric vehicle we have to charge our car to power the vehicle, but where is this additional energy being created? If this energy that is being used to charge our electric vehicle is simply originating from fossil fuels, then how great are the benefits of owning an electric car? Therefore, we need to create a cyclical grid in which all the electricity is coming from renewable energy. If the electric that is being used to power our electric car is coming from renewable energy such as wind or solar, then owning an electric car provides us with great benefits (compared to driving a traditional gas burning vehicle). Citizens of the planet have a lot they need to accomplish within the next few decades in order to significantly protect the environment, for time is ticking, and fast.... I hope to create an informative and interesting site for the general public to follow for more information about both environmental issues and technological advancements. I am still working on fully developing the site, so please be patient as I add new content as soon as possible! Thanks!
