Question of the Week: Do You Use Alternative Fuels?

Alternative fuels can produce fewer emissions that gasoline and be safer for the environment and for lung health, as we learned from Tuesday's entry. If you have a vehicle capable of using alternative fuels (or you're interested in buying one), you can use the Alternative Fueling Station Locator to find fueling stations in your area.

Each Thursday, you have the chance to share your thoughts on a topic related to energy efficiency or renewable energy for consumers. Please comment with your answers, and also feel free to respond to other comments.
