As for ending the dependence on imported oil, so far hydrogen powered internal combustion engines look promising but will have the same issues and propane fueled engines. For now it's petrochemical fuel and there's more in the USA than the feds will let the oil companies drill for.

I could live quite happily without freeways. In fact, given my 6 mile (round trip) commute each day, I'm considering an all-electric car as my next vehicle. Ditto. Although I need one with about a 50 mile range. Virtually all of our driving is around town, with the farthest points being the airport and kid's high school which are 14 and 17 miles away respectively. I've looked at a couple of the conversion kits for VW's and Hondas, but so far it looks like the range is typically 40-50 miles. |

Just a note if you ever consider a gas/electric hybrid, with such a short commute you probably won't see the book gas mileage because the engine needs to warm up before it will shutoff while driving. Precisely why I am interested in an all-electric, not a hybrid. I work from my home most of the time, so the commute isn't the issue. The issue is the requisite running around that needs to be done to support six kids and all their activities. |

How is the electricity generated? by the grid or by a windmill at home. The energy is stored in batteries, and in some cases batteries combined with super capacitors |

A windmill at home is not likely to have the output to power an all-electric car for more than a few yards. If it's a power grid powered by coal, you're likely causing more pollution than a car that's nicely tuned. The energy is stored in batteries, and in some cases batteries combined with super capacitors Capt. Obvious strikes again "~) When someone can explain why temps went DOWN while CO2 emissions went UP, or why temps were much lower during epochs when CO2 was several times higher than today, I'll buy into the ACC arguments. Until then, my Toyota 4-Runner suits me just fine :~o |
