We need a multi-tiered approach to energy usage...
1. Solar panels should be mandatory on all new construction. Solar panels coupled with small windmills on single family dwellings will save vast amounts of energy. Its not new tech, but it will work and on a big scale it will not be cost prohibitive.
2. Geothermal heating.... works everywhere else. Why not here?
3. Nuclear power.... the big hot button! Time to revisit nuclear power with a fresh set of eyes and new technology. The only thing we have to do is standardize the powerplants to reduce startup costs....
4. Hybrid vehicles... the technology is there!
