ALTERNATIVE ENERGY

SUNRGI Biography
Position:	Not Clearly Pro or Con to the question "Can Alternative Energy Effectively Replace Fossil Fuels?"
Reasoning:	"Our dependency comes from relying on foreign oil as a key source for home heating oil and gasoline. When low-cost, SUNRGI-generated energy proliferates, inexpensive electricity will encourage substitution of electrical for other energy sources - electric furnaces can replace those that are now oil-fired, electric-powered cars can replace gasoline engines, and solar heating systems for homes, businesses and institutional customers can become widespread."

Theoretical Expertise Ranking:	Organizations/VIPs/Others Individuals and organizations that do not fit into the other star categories.
