It is sad to think that the US will not be a leader in clean-energy technology - and will, in fact, probably be a laggard in that technologty.

In the Westchester IL area about 25-30 years ago there was a land fill that was closed up - their was talk about getting methane gas off it but the "not in my back yard" prevented it. We talk about alternate energy, and we talk about it. The sad thing is that there are some low cost things we can DO, (drive slower) (turn off the lights that light the reflective road direction signs) but we don't do them. What a shame. Did I say we talk about it?

With all the BS that congress puts out, we should be able to power half the nation with all that gas.

If they do not have the foresight and wisdom and sense of responsibilty to do it on their own, then make them.
