DannyTN's 6 point energy plan.

1. Build nuclear and more hydroelectric.
2. Replace as much demand for LP with cheap nuclear or hydroelectic power as possible. Thus freeing LP for use as an alternative vehicle fuel.
3. Instead of the Frist $100 rebate, send coupons for 3 4-packs (12 bulbs)of florescent bulbs to every household in America. (est cost $30 per household if coupons are redeemed).
4. If the newly developed Vanderbilt University lightbulb technology is currently viable and cost effective, build mass production plants ASAP.
5. Identify the worst gas mileage performing vehicles still on the U.S. roads and provide some financing incentives to replace and retire those vehicles.
6. Use thermal imaging to systematically scan both residential and commercial buildings and identify poorly insulated houses in major metropolitan areas and provide financing to improve insulation.

While I agree that something must be done about our current energy "crisis," I don't believe that government intervention (as you point out in points 3, 5, and 6) is the best answer. While they are good ideas, getting the government involved will only muddy the waters...my idea: get the goverment the hell out of the energy market (and all other markets for that matter) and let those who can do the work, do so freely and without any intervention on the part of Washington.

all your points seem fine except 5. government should not tell us what we can and can't drive.
you want a real energy plan? disband the EPA. nuclear power and oil and natural gas drilling/ refinery will pop up in a hurry. *BAM* no more energy problems.
