president has made it clear that we must find a renewable resource, he has yet to do much on that topic. The President must implement numerous grants available for the research of renewable resource and prevention of natural cataclysms. Additionally, each college must have a certain number of graduates focusing on identifying various alternatives to coa l and s topping na tur a l catastrophe.
We can also reduce global dependency on coal by pumping out new wind turbines. According to Lester Brown, founder of the Worldwatch Institute, we could generate 3 million megawatts (40% of the world's energy needs) of wind power by 2020 if the United States
used the same industrial urgency they used to produced tanks and bombers in World War II.
In addition to reducing human- induced natural catastrophes, there seems to be a way we can foil a couple of naturally occurring disasters. In the past twenty years, scientists have figured out what t emp er a t u r e a nd p r e s s u r e disturbances in the atmosphere will divert an incoming hurricane. Floods can be prevented by the creation of flood plains and winding streams, as they provide a route for the drainage of water. By working on conserving our wetlands, we are allowing ourselves to maintain a natural drainage system.
Humans have to learn to live with natural calamities, minimizing the damage it creates. This is something we can’t avoid, and if we aren’t prepared, we’re going to pay the price of our misbehavior in the form of lives and a destabilized economy. Any person in this world can make a significant difference no matter their race, creed, or origin. A person who could be the next President of America, a quarterback in the Super Bowl, or a non-profit organization founder could perish in the series of unfortunate events. We should definitely learn to live with natural calamities for the time being; in the long term, we need solutions to these disasters that have the capacity to affect the world.
