can these be linked to Homelink found in many cars? MIght be a good way to turn on various house lights from the car as you enter the garage.

Please stop turning on all those appliances. As a nation, we need to conserve power. Instead, let's go back to candles and kerosene lamps. Perhaps just sleep longer as well. If you really have to use electricity, only use whatever you can generate using a hand-crank.

NO NorthSouth!!
We need to be more selective in the power we conserve. as much of our electricity can be generated by Wind, Solar, Nuke or Hydro lets not be so quick to conserve in that area. we should ban automobiles and instead ride horses. at least their emissions can be recycled advantageously.
But at the very least, all those exercise machines in health spas and physical therapy depts should be hooked up to some electrical generator for the betterment of mankind.

NorthSouth, I don't even want to think of you sitting there surfing the internet while cranking your hand.
