Congress does need to do something. The bottom line is that alternative energy vehicles are not available, nor will they be for some time and when they are I assume the price will be well beyond my means...

So us carbon based fuel users have no choice but to use what we have to get to work to feed our kids.... and lets make sure we have those priorities straight 1. feed my kids, 2. worry about the planet. So no matter how green I wish I could be I am a slave to oil. Call on congress to release my shackles and set me free.

1. call on congress to pass legislation to help low income families afford gasoline and heating oil through a measure of gas stamps i.e. food stamps for gas.

2. Call on congress to pass legislation to tax oil companies windfall profits to pay for #1.

3. Call on congress to pass legislation making combustible fuel automobiles oboselete as of certain date that should get govt and private enterprise on the ball to develope real alternatives to gasoline engines.

4. Institute a series of tax incentives, and aid to help low income familys afford alternative energy vehicles, i.e., electric, hydorgen etc. additionally help us make our homes renewable energy, green energy capable.
