Arrr! Ye be thinkin' that clean energy be a mere fancy tale, but it'll be preservin' the snowpack, matey!

Arr! Avast ye, me hearties! As if we be needin' another reason to swiftly abandon them foul fossil fuels: the snow be lingerin' longer when it be cleaner, aye!
Arrr, me hearties! Gather round and listen well, for I bring ye tidings o' great importance. Aye, as if we scurvy dogs needed another reason to swiftly abandon them foul fossil fuels, I be tellin' ye this: the snow, she be meltin' much slower when she be cleaner.Ah, me fellow pirates, imagine ye be standin' on a mountain peak after a mighty snowfall. The snow, she be pure, untouched by the filth o' man and his blackened coal. The sun's rays, they be glintin' off the pristine white, reflectin' back into the heavens. And what be the result, ye ask? Slower meltin', me hearties!
Now, ye may be wonderin', why be this so, ye scurvy knaves? Well, let me enlighten ye. When snow be unsoiled by the noxious gases and pollutants that accompany fossil fuel burnin', she be reflectin' more sunlight back into the sky than dirty snow. Aye, 'tis a phenomenon known as the albedo effect, me mateys. The cleaner the snow, the higher her albedo, and the slower she be meltin'. It be a blessin' in disguise, if ye ask me.
So, me shipmates, let this be a lesson to ye all. We pirates be known for our love o' the sea, but we must also treasure the land and the snow that adorns it. If we be forsakin' the foul fossil fuels and embracin' cleaner, greener alternatives, we be protectin' the purity o' the snow. And who knows, me hearties, maybe we be able to plunder snowball fights for a wee bit longer! Arrr!
