Portugal makes everybody else look bad by being so right about everything all the time.

I agree. America SHOULD be doing this. However, I think a better way for America to do it is not so much a national level, but a city by city basis or a state by state basis. Using our natural renewable resources by enough to even cut our fossile fuel consumption down is really worth it I think.

People here only care about the cost right now, though. They don't care if it'll pay for itself by the end of the year. If it was done on the National level it might take care of whatever cities decide to not do it because they don't want to be told what to do by the president. That seems to be the prevailing attitude in my area.

Portugal rocks. First they legalise all drugs, now they get rid of fossil fuels.
Luckily, many other EU nations are following their lead.

This!
Even take it a step further. Find a way to generate your own power, and ways to reduce your use of it. Of course it's good for the environment, but, in the long run, it is even better for you as an individual or family. Besides, is is much easier to get something accomplished on a small scale by your own effort that to get political systems to approve it and actually follow through.
Yes, it costs money. But a solar system or wind generation system for a home is cheaper than most mid-level new vehicles. It is far cheaper to maintain them, too. In my opinion, it is a far better investment than that second or third vehicle. Kind of puts the cost into perspective.
