What should congress do to cut energy usuage?
Suggestions:
1. Fast track all energy related patents
2. Under power of Patriot Act, search all patents for 50 years looking for the 60 mpg carburator, or alternative energy devices. Issue a “use or lose” option to all patent holders and corporations that control them.
3. Do not consider energy savings from non-sustainable resouces. Use solar, atomic, hydro, or geothermal power.
4. Issue major tax credits to corps who make and persons who buy vehicles and devices that conserve energy.
If congress wanted to cut energy usage they should start a war on energy conservation. It will be as successful as the other government wars: the war on drugs, the war on poverty, the war on terror, the war in Serbia on the side of Osama bin Laden, Vietnam, the war in Afghanistan where the US govt supported the Taliban, WW1 which led to the rise of Hitler in Germany, WW2 which gave rise to USSR as a superpower and gave half of Europe to the communists, prohibition (aka the war on alcohol), etc.
The govt fails at everything it does, so going to war against energy conservation should drastically cut energy consumption.
