Kitman and Moore

Jamie Kitman and Patrick Moore are both supporters of protecting the environment. Kitman is the New York bureau chief for Automobile Magazine and writes about Hybrid cars not being as environmentally friendly as everyone assumes. The battery, if not recycled properly, is a big issue to the environment according to Kitman. Also, the Hybird SUV's are worse on gas mileage than regular cars. People still purchase them for better parking passes, use of special lanes of traffic, and tax breaks. The Hybrid cars are more efficient around town but when taken to the interstate, other cars get much better gas mileage.
Patrick Moore's piece discusses another way of energy for cars, nuclear energy. He states that nuclear energy is the only alternative to fading fossil fuels and the only way to save the planet from drastic climate changes. The ability to construct massive nuclear weapons from nuclear energy is a set back to this being done. Although, there are precautions are trying to be maintained or created to keep this from happening. In Japan, to make it more difficult to sell this nuclear energy in civilian materials, the Japanese have made a system where the plutonium is never separated from the uranium.
In my opinion, when a writer has experienced their topic it definitely makes me consider the opinion because it comes from knowledge and understanding. Not from estimated guesses.
