Energy policy

I tried to put solar panels on the roof of my home, but I couldn't afford it. It would have taken me 50years to recoup my investment but I still couldn't get the credit for the project. And, I found out that the utility companies are not buying the extra electricity like they were at first but now you have to use any credit you accumulate by the end of the year or it goes to the utility company. It doesn't seem enough just to free us up from foreign oil we have to become self sufficient. We have to become free of foreign energy and free from the energy of the utility companies. Everyone is lining up to sell America energy, foreign companies are leasing great parcels of land to develop sun energy. T Bone, Pickens is buying large parcels of land to run wind energy to sell you. And the utility companies are preventing any kind of legislation that will move us toward an alternative energy system. I propose that our party adopt a policy of individual self sustaining energy. By this I mean that I think that if the federal government would subsidize the placing of solar panels on every home in America our energy problems would be solved. By "subsidize" I mean pay for. Here's the deal. The governemt would, in a sense, lease the roof tops of all American homes. They would pay for the installation, and maintenance of solar panels on everyone's home. Each American would get solar energy for free for allowing the government to use their roofs. However, the government would then be allowed any excess electricity. The electricity would then go to a main station where it would be distributed around the country according to priority and need. Oops there goes the nuclear power plants. Oops there goes the coal burning industries. We then develop a car that runs on electricity, who's batteries are charged by... solar panels. No need for oil. Pollution is down to almost zero (we still have the cows to deal with, but if we go vegitarian, drinking no milk...). This solution is good because there is no buying of energy. Through our industry we have made our own, and through our government we can intelligently distribute it for our needs. This can be applied nationally as well as globally. Even though there may be special problems for those that live in areas with little sun. We may have to learn
