17;ve even heard of about 60 mpg before. Also taking the freeway more is another way to save gas. In the home you can also buy light that don’t use as much energy as the conventional light bulb. They make those florescent bulbs that are small and fit into regular light sockets. They are a little bit more expensive but pay for them selves considering they last a lot longer.My second solution is alternative sources of energy. We could live like the Amish, not! That’s not an option for me. There are plenty of other forms of energy being discovered. Hydro-electric power is a good source if there is a river nearby. In the dessert they also use windmills for power. I have seen them for sale in the back of popular science magazine. The city could use giant solar energy stations to produce power, instead of burning a bunch of fuel which seems kind of old fashioned to me. "We have been producing electric cars for quite some time now and they are getting very efficient" (popular science magazine).My third solution is producing our own power right at home. It is possible to buy systems that can power a house by solar power and even have rechargeable batteries that can power a house for a week without the sun. The systems cost around 5,000 dollars and up but are well worth it, especially if you live in a hot place where there is a lot of sun. No worries about using to much power because it’s free once you get the system. The systems are virtually matainence free and your power won’t be knocked out by storms etc. Especially good if you live in a remote area were there is no utility anyway. If you live in the woods and happen to be near a stream then you could try the hydro-electric approach. These ideas could also be used in conjunction with normal utility systems so that the power draw would be divided between the two systems, thus shelling out less money to S.D.G.&E. or other provider. In conclusion I think that solut...
