I reduce the amount of gas I consume by riding my bike to work and on short trips when the weather is nice. I don't use very much heat in the winter or AC in the summer. I pick up aluminum cans when I see them while riding my bike home from work. I save money and repay my debts and I'm not contributing to the debt problem. I even purchased a house last November when people were calling the housing market dead or dying. (It isn't that bad in my city though.)
In the next ten years I plan on working to become energy independent.
But, this is the question that politicians should be asking. Kennedy had it right.
