1. Start conserving more whereever possible

2. Tax large SUV's

3. If Brazil can do it, so can we

4. Get every house in the US that uses oil for heat/air to change to electricity

1. Tax credits for purchasing fuel-efficient automobiles...

Reversing George "I want to do something about global warming" Bush's tax credits of up to $100,000 on gas-guzzling SUVs and Hummers...

2. you hit big ones; a couple of top of my head

Water conservation - lots of energy goes into treatment of water before and after use.

Local food - generally better on energy though not always. I was baffled in the grocery store the other day by conventional apple juice from China, and organic from Turkey. How on earth can those be economically feasible, much less environmentally reasonable (I live in upstate NY - apple country!)

Research and investment into solar panel technology, subsidies, something...

3. One trillion dollars a year to get us off oil altogether, as soon as fucking possible.

Petroleum is going to kill us all.


Edit for:

SOLAR NOW! SOLAR NOW! SOLAR NOW!

4. Incentives to switch to geothermal home HVAC Systems

Tax breaks to start seeing economies of scale in personal Solar Electric hardware

Reform Oil Markets

Invade Venezuela, Iran, Canada, Saudi Arabia and Norway, especially Norway......

No gas for vehicles still having "W" bumper stickers

5. Read Al Gore's books on the environment and on Bush and follow

his lead. Gore has really sussed this out over 20+ years.

6. Home, business, and civic solar arrays and wind power;

electricity is lost in transmission over distance.
I'm sick of this too expensive crap; my solar array cost half of what my car cost.

7. nationalisation of all oil companies

followed by all profits going to alternative fuel production and research.
thus creating reliable clean energy and reliable steady jobs.
