A survey in August 2011 on the world wide web was conducted by the news agency CNN, and asked participants to rate the more serious problem with the United States economy, given the choices 1) the debt crisis or 2) unemployment
The majority of respondents voted unemployment as the more serious problem. Give at least one example from this chapter of how using renewable energy can help solve this problem in the United States.
