Tell us about yourself, and why you support the renewable energy movement.: Our nation is in deep trouble with the Oil import situation. Why havent we spent more time and money on developing alternative energy sources?! We are at least 20 years behind in our efforts! I welcome any ideas that would help make our country less dependent on foreign oil! Brazil has it all figured out with their use of sugar cane to produce fuel and energy. It produces much more any per acre compared to corn (and we wouldn't have to compete with corn being used for our foods) But with an excise tax of at least .48 per gallon, our nation is totally ignoring any assistance from "more developed and intelligent" countries!

How do you contribute?: Support new solar energy system installations with EFCs, Drive fuel-efficient vehicles, Support political action, Select low carbon footprint products, Support environmentally-conscious companies, Try to reduce-reuse-recycle, Support local sustainable agriculture, Reduce my junk mail and paper products

Do you have tips on how to conserve and be more energy-efficient?: Drive less and slow down!
