What these guys ignore is what I said before, that relieving energy dependency is an incremental solution. one million baby steps; there is no magic transforming technology. You do what you can, where you can. Right now there is no leadership in that direction. John, I think people have problems with the "one million steps". They want a solution......ONE solution......that takes care of the problem in one fell swoop. Its frustrating because that's how we become dependent on fuels like oil. And another thing that is interesting is how rarely conservation is brought up. No one ever wants to think in terms of cutting back. And the irony is that its not that hard to do. In CA, there was a drought in the early '90s and in some CA cities, there was mandatory rationing. Water saving devices became the rage and water consumption dropped by 30% in most parts of the state. Interestingly enough, consumption did not go back up after the drought was over. Bottom line: we consume with such wanton 'grace', its not all that hard to cut back. BTW I had no idea FLA had so much passive solar development. I don't think that's true in CA. ted
