I'm a firm believer in putting power in people's hands, both political and electrical. We've all heard stories about houses covered with solar panels being able to make their electric meters run backwards. We should strive to make personal power production combined with a national electric Smart Grid a priority. Imagine city rooftops covered in photocells and shorelines dotted with windmills and tidal generators Use interstate mediums. There's a lot of wasted space there. Maybe some wind turbines(powered by traffic wind!) or more solar panels that can help supply The Smart Grid or at least provide highway lighting. Go even more Green by leasing space to companies to grow biodiesel plants in the medium. Use abandoned mines as storage for compressed air that can be used to run air-powered generators. At some point everyone who needs light, heat/air conditioning, and power to cook will have it, cleanly, for free or next to nothing. Think about all the Jobs all these projects could provide. Think about escaping the stranglehold the utility companies have on America. Maybe someday every home will produce ALL of it's own energy and businesses will pay US to use the extra!
