somebody

Somebody who uses their head gets to speak up at least. Hopefully consumers will demand lower power products and all these other technologies will be put together to help with everything. Solar wind geothermal housing. Though in the U.S. you won't get much help from drivers in many areas. I wonder what the energy saving is on work-at-home versus driving to work and working.

How About...

... a Special *Development Fund* and *Tax Incentives* to encourage energy savings from "work-at-home versus driving to work and working".

Questions concerning alternative energy

I have 4 questions concerning alternative energy:
1. How much U.S. oil is actually purchased from the Middle East,
South America, and the U.S.?
2. Is economically forcing U.S. citizens to lower fuel
consumption feasable?
3. How much money is "enough" money to spend on research
and development of alternative energy?
4. Will forcing companies to lower gas prices boost the overall
economy or put them out of business?
