The Future of Energy: Judy examines a hay baler used by Packer Engineering in Naperville to create energy from farm-scale crop waste. A senior member of the House Science and Technology Committee and Co-Chair of the House Research and Development Caucus, Judy visited the facility to learn more about Packer’s local work on technologies to improve hydrogen energy storage, turn agricultural waste into fuel, harness solar power, create fertilizer without natural gas, and more.

What do you think is the best way to deal with record-high energy costs?

	Invest in research and development of alternative energy sources like solar, wind, cellulosic ethanol, and hydrogen.
	Allow domestic oil and natural gas exploration in Outer Continental Shelf waters and a very limited portion of ANWR.
	Increase the affordability and availability of public transportation.
	Accelerate the building of new nuclear power plants to produce electricity without emitting carbon gasses.
	Raise fuel economy standards.
	All of the above.
	Other.
