Colleges and MTV Promote Alternatives

Washington D.C.-based Energy Action Coalition in association with MTV is launching a competition to encourage U.S. university students to demand their schools get more energy from renewable energy sources.

Students at several colleges have already pushed through fees of about $30 per student that allow schools to buy power from clean energy sources such as solar and wind farms.

A spokeperson said students are energized to fight global warming because they're worried about the threats of heat waves and flooding from melting glaciers on the habitats of people and endangered species.

Students also appear to recognize the inherent economic opportunities associated with the development of alternative energy technologies.
