Check out this post at Treehugger.com about celebrities going veggie. Lovecraft Biofuels is the company from which I bought my car. In my 9 month experience, they do great work and stand behind it.

The USA had over 30 years to become energy independent following the Arab Oil Embargo of the 1970's.
In response to this threat to the long term economic health of America, Jimmy Carter implemented a far-reaching, long-term energy policydesigned to help make the USA energy independent.
Jimmy Carter's hopes to secure a second term in office were sunk by multiple factors including the Iranian Revolution and the seizure of the US embassy and prolonged kidnapping of US hostages in Iran. At the same time, the US economy was also strained by the devastating effects of "stagflation" (inflation coupled with a stagnant economy). A major source of this economic crisis was the OPEC oil embargoes that lead to almost instantaneous shortages of foreign oil.
Unfortunately, Carter's long-term plan for energy independence was discarded by first the Reagan, then Bush1, next Clinton, & now Bush2. The short term thinking of four successive presidential administrations has failed to prepare and execute long-term plans to make America energy independent. We should be leading the world in this area if we hadn't taken our eyes off the ball. Maybe Jimmy Carter should be given more credit?
Back in the present day, Brazil is now kicking our global ass in the area of energy independence! "A three-decade-long alternative energy campaign has outfitted Brazilian filling stations with fuel pumps that offer pure ethanol, a blend of gasoline and 20% ethanol called gasohol, or even natural gas. This year, Brazil will achieve energy independence -- a goal the United States has been chasing without success since the energy crises of the 1970s.- USA Today
Well, for "We the People" the choice seems rather clear to me. We can adapt and respond by electing & supporting people who have positive visions for the future or our country or stay stuck in the mud with the bums who have rolled up record deficits. Will America Lead?
