Ward, what about wind, solar, and water produced energy? Here in Houston, for example, there are a couple companies that offer consumers the choice of getting wind produced (only) energy. Better for the environment.
Another option is ethanol. I was just talking with a family friend in the oil industry. He was in Brazil recently, and a good number of cars there run on ethanol - corn oil. They have pump stations all around, etc. I think he said even Houston has 3 stations that have ethanol. He said it cost like $10 bucks to drive an SUV like 200 miles!! He said it burns cleaner too, so less toxic gasses in the environment.
