There's also the view that conservation is the best "alternate energy strategy". There are combinations of things that individuals can do to help their own bottom line. We can't wait for the government and big business to turn this mess around. We have to start now and on our own! This can be done by studying up and tinkering at home!

Oil is going to run out, and if it doesn't cause all kinds of problems. Corn based ethanol has its issues. And now this. I hope we start figuring out some things fast!
