The price of our addiction

In this article that was written in '06, it states that we need to find an alternate energy, are we close to having a solid alternative energy source, what should we do about it, have you and your family changed about about driving habits what, about heating, and what i see as an alternative fuel source.
we are paying three to four dollars for a gallon of fuel for our vehicles, which is a long cry from the 25cents that my grandad complained about when he was a kid. i think that we are somewhat close to having a alternative energy source but not close to mass production, such as fuel cells in cars the fuel cell of today are large and bulky to place effectively in a car. we should try and conserve oil for other things...and focus on finding and using a new fuel like hydrogen, fuel cells, ethanol. i have driven less and driven to less places since my truck could no longer be filled for 20 bucks. my parents drive trucks that run on diesel so the price is really hurting them. and it the middle of summer who uses heat?? but i geuss in the winter we use it but we use a wood fireplace. i think that we should use ethonol as a fuel source.
