How on earth will adding 30% to someone’s cost of living allow them to buy a newer car or install solar panels on their house? If they could afford either of these they would have them now. If you REALLY want a green alternative for vehicles, why not the ‘air powered’ autos? The ONLY reason we don’t have a green economy is that the politicians know they can’t rip enough of our money from our pockets by doing so. When the feds get tax money for each and every gallon of fuel, how fast are they going to move on better fuel economy or non-fossil based fuels? BOTH parties benefit greatly from the oil companies putting money into their coffers. There are already many many solutions that are buried by our bureaucratic system. Innovations which have led to autos getting tremendous mileage. Such as a Prius that got 107mph or a 1996 Saturn V6 that got 54mph. Each of these vehicles was outfitted with less than $1000. worth of mods. The plans were given to the auto makers as as you can see, nothing was done. Wake up people. GO GREEN!!! RECYCLE WASHINGTON!!! All of them!

Thinking outside the box can save money, create new jobs, and help the environment.

Gas prices have far too low for far too long. If prices had been higher 30 years ago, Reagan would never have torn the solar panels off the White House. And we would have a completely renewable energy economy by now.
