Add a solar panel, a windmill, a waterwheel, a hose to a garbage can [for meth. gas], maybe pipes into the ground for thermal power. Hook them all up to the garage AND house. Then have a stationary bike connected to the car, with a rider and a parent saying "Faster kids, if you want to go to Grandma's today!" We are never going to solve the energy problems unless individuals are allowed to get creative with their own homes and vehicles. Innovation is needed, and Akron is a good place to start. Use the Inventors Hall of Fame as more than a field trip destination. "Now is the time for all good people to save themselves."
