On a serious note.
I guess we should start investing or having a look at the natural resources for providing energy like windmills,
water turbines using on running water either rivers or tidal waves, biofuel as an alternative means of energy consumption.
Currently we are too heavily dependent on crude oil and its substitutes for energy production and it is kind of worrying to know what happens if one day it all runs out ......
Villages are ideal places for spreading the alternate fuel theory as the consumption is not high and a combination of wind/water/bio fuel is sustainable enough for a average populated village...
And how can i forget
solar energy, am pretty surprised that with vast areas of open grounds in US and a good number of clear days solar energy is not on yet......
