Possibly not the total answer, but combined with conservation, could win our energy independence. All electricity does not come from coal. If we would push our legislators to pass laws, subsidies etc. favoring solar instead of oil, we could all have panels on our roofs to charge our cars. The vast majority of the population lives within the existing range of those electric cars. If you have to take a longer trip, you can rent a car. Again, lots of energy being put into excuses, instead of productive IDEAS to make this work.
For heavens sake, at least use the info from the following post and buy only domestically produced product. Every good idea destributed and followed, is going to produce positive results.
Please lets just all put our heads together, and put forth some effort to make some positive changes.
