本期話題:你使用過什麼再生能源？
Hi, my name is Chris. I'm from the US and my question is whatrenewable energiesdo I use?
Currently I probably don't use many, other than something likerechargeable batteriesbut I do think that the area of renewable energy is a very exciting one and I think that once the cost of some of these renewable energies goes down, it will be much easier for ordinary people totake advantage ofthem.Solar power, wind power, biofuelsand things like that.
I was excited to find out about the new Nissan Leaf which is, as I understand it, the first fully electric car for the average consumer.
So I hope things like this continue to expand and that with a lot of research and a little help and stimulation through the government that the technology can eventually reduce the costs and make it morecompetitive withfossil fuels so that wayhopefullythese things will replace fossil fuels in the near future.
