Thank you! This is a great post Joe. Alternative energy sources are just that—an alternative to more cost effective energy sources.

If alternative energy sources cost less, they would quickly become the default energy source.

@Shannon, soon that won’t be an option. Congress decided to protect us from those useful lightbulbs by banning them. Of course, they’re being phased out in a few years, so there’s no public outcry yet.

I agree! I know I would like to help the environment if it didn’t cost me more. My family’s financial condition is closer to home and more important to me than the planet’s environmental condition, which I personally can do little to improve.

Also, I bought exactly one compact fluorescent bulb, thinking it would save me money. When it burned out far FASTER than a regular bulb, I said, “Forget this — I’m going back to the cheap kind!”
