Three huge wind turbines spin in the cool, seemingly endless winter winds in Alaska. Alaska is one of America's toughest places for being green, yet it can - and is - going Green. People have started to notice our need for green energy and Alaska is testing new ideas for renewable energy sources. Alaska is going green, not to help stop global warming, but to save money. This is a good reason for Alaskans because the diesel to power generators costs more than 5$/gallon to be shipped so using renewable sources is in the competition - and winning. Alaska produces more oil than any other state except Texas but most of it is shipped out of the state. The high prices for shipment still keep fuel prices high, but I think that it is cool that Alaska is going green!
