[QUOTE="susiedriver, post: 56903"] wkmac, I've followed this thread, but am not up to speed in a lot of areas. I understand that the ruling party is trying to get legislation passed under the guise of 'Katrina Relief' that will eliminate all federal funding for energy conservation, the "Energy Star" program, energy efficient vehicles, hydrogen vehicles, high-speed rail, light rail and all federal loans to grad students, among other programs. You're in Georgia, aren't you? What do you and your neighbors think of the fuel holidays for schools? My friends in GA think it is absurd. You may be right, electric may be the way to go for most vehicles. With the price of oil nearing $70/barrel, coal (which provides a lot of our electricity) is becoming a viable alternative fuel. Wind power for electric generation is now also competitive with $70 oil. Solar may become a choice for some areas in the near future. ASU is doing some fantastic work in that area. Electric cars can be wicked fast too! In the meantime, ask , no tell your congress person to oppose any emergency aid that increases our dependence on foriegn oil by lessening incentives for alternative energy sources. [/QUOTE]
