This article is about how energy can impact our environment over the next few decades. People who support business and the environment stumble upon the topic of climate change. However, a speaker for a symposium in Missoula, MT says that energy will become a major industry in the future. Although energy consumption is expected to grow tremendously in the next 30 to 40 years, it will also produce more pollution. Mike Philips, a state legislator from Bozeman, MT, believes that we need to factor enviromental costs into an energy policy to making the environment safer.

In my opinion, I believe our country needs to be more concerned about conserving energy. Pollution has destroyed many of our ecosystems. Energy is useful, but it's wasted just like water. The government needs to take a stand in order to protect this country. The only problem is, it's all about business and the benefit of it.
