1) move US towards using LED light bulbs. These use a fraction of the energy of incandecent and fluorescent bulbs.

Tax incentives??

2) Increase insulation (R-values) of new and existing structures.

Buildings require energy to heat and cool. Probably more than SUV's

Tax incentives --used to in the 70's (I think) even solar panels.

3) Buy a Hybrid car or truck. US automakers are gonna get spanked on this one too. Used to have tax incentives. (honda and toyota) $3K for a hybrid --not anymore.

Thought Gore and later Kerry had an agressive energy policy but we have oil men in the white house. Uhh more refineries, ANWR...
