If the USA was really serious about getting us off the carbon addiction, there'd be grants or at least low interest loans to homeowners right now to help millions of households become the solution to this problem for America.

The solution ONLY requires political WILL.

As yet, we still don't have it.

It's coming though, of that I am certain.

Maine is the state in the union which is most heavily dependent on heating with oil.

People gonna freeze here this year if the price is $5+ a gallon.

Oh, some of us will switch to burning wood, but that causes terrible local air pollution when too many people are burning it, too. We're already the state with a very high incidence of childhood asthma probably because of wood heat.

We need alternative sustainaable and non-polluting source of energy, and we need them STAT.

That means solar, wind, geo thermal, tidal and hydopower energy sources.

There's plenty of energy out there if we build the machines to capture it.

They're coming, though, mark my words, they're coming.

Big money is crunching the numbers right now.

mavericks like Pickens are nobody's fools.

They see opportunity.
