the problem is to get costs down. as long as oil related energy is cheaper than alternatives it will be in demand. in pa you can elect to buy your electricity from green power. wind mills but you pay a penny more for electric rate. I do not wish to pay a cent more to a power company let them cut the dividend, salary, bonus for executives. etc. My preference would be to make power companies go back to coal and make them invest in producing clean fuel. Then pass on the investment through bonds etc over generations if necessary since we and our children will be rewarded. It will also save over 25% of natural gas being burned now that could go back to industries that require natural gas for chemical processing that now are going overseas to produce these products due to the price of natural gas and it would also reduce prices to home heating because of a drop of 25% in demand. It is not right that congress lets these power companies comply with green gases by switching fuel and passing along the cost to customers. We have no alternatives. congress should have made them correct the situation by installing sweeper in smoke stacks or other types of reprocess of the by product gases.
