Yeah, like an investing in alternative energy to free us from foreign oil. That little diddy comes 'round every four years during election time. And each President does nothing to make good on their election year promises.

They only way this is going to change is by private sector companies finding profit in providing energy more affordably with different media. Gas is has been doing it for so long. Technology is either stagnant or the conspiracy theorist may have a point that innovation is being stifled by the puppet master owners of energy.

Someone will devise a better mousetrap and w/ the advent of the internet, it's bound to leak....the trick is finding someone talented and altruistic enough....
