There are already solar and hydrogen powered cars, they just aren't being mass produced.

There are also some electric cars out there, but the ones I have seen normally don't go more than 60 miles before running out of power.

It would also be nice if we started building more homes with solar panels.

It would be nice if homes were build with solar panels to cut the use of energy from coal. However, it is very expensive! But, if possible, I think it would be a brilliant way of getting energy and cutting back the use of coal.

Hydrogen powered cars and electrical cars would work wonderful in urban areas, however, would they be powerful enough in many rural areas? I think they are starting to, if not already, getting something that will be powerful like a Chevy Silverado or Ford F150 built with an alternative energy source.

I think it is important that our country cut its dependence on foreign oil, even if it means we have to cut down on our personal usage of energy. It is not good to have such a dependence on other nations to provide our demands.
