Rather than arguing about the actual state of the environment, wouldn’t it just be better to say that no matter what your political preference, energy independence would be a good thing if it can be achieved in a cost effective manner?
Wouldn’t it be better if you could buy your energy production rather than rent it?
The key to bringing renewable energy to suburban America is to communicate the concept of how progressive technology combined with innovative architectural design can provide a lower monthly cost of ownership. For example, most people finance their home through a mortgage. If you design a house that will reduce your monthly utility bills by $150 while only increasing your monthly mortgage payment by $50 dollars, you will save money from the day you move in, although your home actually costs more. It’s all about combining the best design practices with sound financial strategies. Check out zeroenergy.com

I wish you'd run for president or something. I couldn't agree more. One thing I'm going to pursue (because the government and oil companies are so awful) is putting solar panels on my southern exposed roof. I'm hoping to sell the energy back to the power company. It's one little thing I, as an individual with little power, can do. At least I hope so.

however i allow my electric company to do it even if they added a 10 dollar a months surcharge on my electric bill if they would lock my bill to the current per watt fee

America is reactive. What you say is right, but the modern opinionated citizen doesn't fix anything until it breaks. We're real good at ignoring.
