In the U.S., fossil fuels produce up to 80% of all energy that we consume. Our current level of dependence on fossil fuels puts us on track for a rapid depletion of these finite materials. Meaning, if we’re not careful, we will run out of our precious, non-renewable resources. That means no more oil, natural gas, and even coal. Burning fossil fuels in power plants is hard also on the environment. We’re talking about everything from ocean and air pollution...

But whether or not you believe picking up that penny will bring you luck, one thing it definitely won’t bring you is wealth.
