I Am Happy to Say...
We South Carolinians For Energy Independence are making progress--
We already have members of the group from Hilton Head to Rock Hill, with good representation from most every area in between.
We have members with wind and solar experience, and members familiar with natural gas powered vehicles in their background.
We have writers and retirees, and engineers and salesmen--and a whole lot of good people who all just want to see a common sense approach to a common problem.
Let us continue to gain momentum, by respectfully sharing our thoughts on this subject with those with whom we come into daily contact. A surprisingly large number of them share our concerns.
Let us NOT be too timid to talk to our fellow citizens about issues that are of immense importance to us all. Anything worth having is worth working for.
Let us all bloom where we're planted, and do what we can--and if we're ignored, or mocked, or talked down to--nevertheless, let us have the the courage of our convictions and redouble our efforts--For we are on a mission.
End of sermon--wm

Amen, you are absolutly right we need to discuss this problem with anyone that will listen. I for one have been beating the drum with everyone I know and remember South Carolina was a leader in our first fight for independence and it would be great to see South Carolinians leading this fight for energy independence. What I see as a major roadblock in this fight is the lack of good information on ---affordable--- alternatives for people. I would like to see some serious incentives from goverment and private sources to encourage and assit INDIVIDUALS who want to convert to alternate energy sources not credits and subsidies to oil companies. I personally would love to install a solar array and take my house off the grid or at least limit their input. I read an article online yesterday that was in the WSJ citing a price tag of 40-50k for a residential solar setup. At these prices most of us can't afford to make the conversion to solar a reality and the federal tax credit that now exist for solar only benefits wealthy individuals who want solar heaters for their swimming pools and even that lame credit ends in 2008 and no one in congress seems to care. Everyone I speak to has the desire to change unfortunately that lack the means to make it happen.
Why are we as a people not demanding that our tax resources be used to free us from the grip
of the oil companies. I hear alot of talk about how we need to drill for more oil, poppycock; what we need are alternatives to oil. No one can stop the sun from rising, the wind from blowing, and water from flowing, so why are we not tapping these resources? I suspect it has to do with the fact that if they(those who finance the politicians) can't controll it they can't own it and they can't make money on it. Sorry, but I am cynical and although I want to believe this can happen I don't believe we have leaders who care to make it happen, end of my sermon. -
