I know, I know we won't see an all electric car in the states until gas goes above $4.00/gallon. People just aren't willing to give up their status symbols just yet.
At least Subaru is jumping on the band wagon. Hopefully it won't be too long. Otherwise we'll all be driving golf carts around town.

Small Wind Turbines
CNet has a good article on small wind turbines.
If we could only purchase a couple of these and put them on the roof next to our solar panels that plug directly into our electric meter.
Until we upgrade the grid, and how homes connect to that grid, we will always have problems with alternative forms of energy. Google has some great ideas on how to fix this issue.
When we can see just how much power we are wasting, we will really be able to start conserving.

Coolest thing, evar!
This has to be one of the coolest things ever done. I can't believe nobody has thought of this before. What a great idea for personal transportation. Who needs a jet pack when you can have wings?
