There is real power in the internet and as such we should harness it in the pursuit of educating the world on the dangers of living without/or abandoning the goal of renewable energy.
In this day and age most people respond to visual stimuli such as videos and other images as well as auditory stimulation. With the use of technology you can upload videos to your renewable energy website in order to get your message across to your audience that renewable energy is the only way forward.
Douglas Healy believes that through the use of film, we can reach a wider audience and foster a concern for the alarming issue of fossil fuel depletion. As such Doug has put together a list of videos he feels would be best suited to your renewable energy website all of which are available on YouTube and other websites.
Videos that question the validity of renewable energy in the fight to save the planet
In order to understand the argument as to the positives for renewable energy, you have to look at the pros, as well as the cons. As such the following is a list of videos that argue against, or at least question the validity of fossil fuels. These are the exact titles of the films, and they are all sourced from YouTube.

There are many film options for your website, but so long as your information is fair and balanced then your website will attract a following and be seen as an authority. With a powerful and provocative website, you can help open up a dialogue between all interested parties and perhaps even change a few peoples minds about the need and validity for the switch to renewable energy sources.
Douglas Healy likes to see in a vision through it and the use of the internet. Doug is encouraged and excited by people who want to sit up renewable energy websites to educate the public end private corporations or those in the fossil fuel industry who may be concerned about their livelihood and the end of an era for fossil fuel production. How is it is the hope that with such educational websites, these companies will see how they can join in on the fight to save the planet and maybe still make a buck or two. Much of their equipment can be modified to service the new forms of energy production and manufacturing in the coming dawn of the new era
