Comment on The Limits to (Green) Growth by Trotter Oberrender

I never thought of the damage that wind turbines inflict on the environment around them. Like many people I have the naive view that only focuses on the “green” aspects of the energy producing turbines. This view is shared by many other Americans and I believe it is a major reason that major investments into new environmental friendly technologies have not been executed. Our demand for energy is not only effecting the atmosphere. It seriously effects the nearby species and ultimately its local environment. We as a population need to realize that the problem is not solely in our technology, but more importantly in our increasing demand.

After all that has happened in the past between the United States and Native Americans, you would think that we would have learned something or at least gained some respect for their culture and beliefs. It astounds me that even after all the US has taken from them during the growth and expansion of our country, we continue to take what is sacred to them. The only difference now is that our reason for doing so has weakened all the way to recreation. The addition of extra slopes to the Arizona Snowbowl will not effect many, but the destruction of these sacred peaks will effect the Hopi, Navajo, and Havasupai Nations greatly in a very negative way.
