Your question calls for an opinion. Wikianswers provides factual answers, and people have different opinions of what more or less the US Government should do. Part of the controversy stems from the fact that some alternative energy sources like solar, are often not competitive, at present, with fossil fuel programs and rely on tax subsidies to be commercially viable.
The US Government has numerous programs to provide incentives to lower our usage of fossil fuels and to promote alternative energy sources.
We have tax incentives to use energy efficient cars and appliances. The new energy efficient light bulbs is strongly promoted by the US Government.
Various programs exist to promote solar, wind and biofuels as alternative energy sources.
