1. There is no alternative fuel. That is a myth. There isn't any non carbon based fuels that can actually meet our energy needs.
2. Green energy savings is a mostly a myth. Buy a green washer or dryer, it will save you 9 dollars a month but you pay $300 more to purchase it. It takes almost three years to break even and by that time your warrenty is already done. Any repairs or replacement and you end up paying more. Vllad
So this is why Toyota cant make enough Prius's to meet the demand right? Because theres no such thing as alternative energy.
So this is why the government is so concerned there will be fuel efficient cars that they are thinking about a miles driven tax to replace the gasoline tax, right?
THe problem is the government is too big and has too much influence, which increases the effect of lobbiests exponentially. Without industry lobbys stomping out competition via alternatives, there would be much better choices than we have right now.
Green energy is not a magic bullet, 1 size fits all replacement energy. Its a combination of common sense and creative solutions to replace a signifcant portion of energy demand.
