The sun provides thousands more times energy every day than the entire planet consumes. If we could only get the government to truelly subsidize alternative energy we could drop the price of oil power and everythign else in turn all the while saving the planet and air. If we all merely replaced our water heaters with more efficient units and used batterys charged by solar panels for our tv's fridges and other or all devices our exspenses on power could be eliminated. Imagine pay for power once and you have it the rest of your life. No more $500 suprise power bills. No more 10% rate increases every single [edited] year. This would all be right now if it weren't for the corrupt politicians beign paid by power companies not to incourage use or even make alternative power affordable. After all what 70yrold cares about 30years from now. They wont be here.
