Food, fuel and energy efficency

We are drowning in our dependence on foreign oil. The high cost of fuel affects every sector of our economy. Jobless rates have skyrocketed along with an unprecedented foreclosure rate that seems to grow even higher every month. Electric bills have been raised to meet the increased cost to the electric companies. By the time the average family gets done gassing up the family vehicle and paying more for every consumer item there is nothing left over to save or invest. In fact most have had to hit up their savings just to get by as of late. We need to devote attention to how to extricate ourselves from the grip of foreign oil. We need to harness natural sources of energy such as wind and solar and integrate them with the modern technologies of hybrid, plug in cars, v2g, and others. We need to be in this for the long haul. We have long been an overindulgent and wasteful society with tunnel vision. it's time to look at the big picture. We need to take a good look at ourselves and this situation as a society and work towards a permanent solution. There is a boldly informative new book being released soon called The Manhattan Project of 2009 by Jeff Wilson.
