Shouldn't they realize that everyone know that cars run on gas and that the concept is to make a car run on something other than fossil fuels? Are they that stupid? Do they believe that America can't develop alternative fuels? If so, doesn't that make them unAmerican?

I have read articles about wind, solar, alternative fuels, and hydro power in The Mother Earth News. Who has used these alternative resources?

I am a high school student and will be taking an independent study course next year. Essentially, I am responsible for designing and carrying out the curriculum throughout the year, with a faculty adviser checking in with me occasionally. I have decided that the subject of my independent study course will be something along the lines of alternative energy or alternative fuels.

Does anybody know of any text books or helpful resources that I could use during my independent study course? I plan to do research, perform labs and experiments, and visit local labs, refineries, and perhaps a power plant. However, a textbook on alternative energy that I could follow would be very helpful. Even better would be a book with labs or experiments in it that I could perform.

If you have any ideas on how I can put together this course and make it the best it can be, let me know! Thanks.

And take the fed gas tax and put the entire amount toward research for alternative fuels sources. That way there would be funding for research for renewable energy, and rebates for folks who actually save the environment and use less gas. Currently we have no incentive to save gas, other than the pocket book, and as soon as the price of gas goes below everyone will be buying Hummers again.
When demand goes down, so will the price....

Lawmakers only focus on these high gas prices. I think they should look into investing funds into renewable energy and alternative fuels.

This is the only way we can successfully become energy independent. And these fossil burning fuels are ruining the environment.

For example they could put _______ billion dollars into automobile companies so they could lower the cost of hybrid cars, and _____ billion in the production of these vehicles.
