Not a very good fix, I think! Why not go back to: using paper bags in the grocery stores [a renewable resource], mandating that packaging actually is sized properly to the products inside them, and other such practical measures? 35 percent of all oil is used in the manufacture of plastics - a large percentage of which is largely unneeded. Or, even get rid of emission control devices [which decreases fuel mileage by over 30 percent on modern cars], eliminate Toll Plazas [with their attendant massive traffic jams]? With today's cleaner burning engines and additives, emission devices are overkill at a great cost to fuel efficiency and just idling at Toll Plazas burn millions of barrels of oil each day. Just properly synchronizing traffic lights nationwide would result in even more substantial savings on oil. These a only a few of my ideas - which don't involve socking it to the poorest among us. Before America takes another damn dime from the poor, why don't they consider using "Common Sense?" It worked for our ancestors and believe it or not it would for us to if we'd try it!

The only drawback is waste disposal and I already have the cheapest and most reliable solution figured out. However, nobody wants to hear "Common Sense Ideas" anymore... just impractical, cost prohibitive, and/or stupid ones. Go figure?

Nuclear power makes a lot of sense but Democrats aren't interested in this technology. Thanks for your comment. Nuclear power makes a lot of sense but Democrats aren’t interested in this technology.

Duke Power is one of the cheapest suppliers in the nation, very well maintained, highly profitable, and pays its employees very well statewide. They haven't had any accidents yet - to my own personal knowledge - and I have never caught a three-headed fish in any of our lakes or rivers.... What can I say... there [honestly] aren't too many rivers left to damn up around here and we already have plenty of recreational lakes?

By the time it becomes glaringly obvious that "alternative" energy is a joke we'll all be living in mud huts unable to afford anything. You are correct.
