My Modest Proposal to End Global Warming, Revitalize GeneralAviation, and End Our Dependence on Foreign Oil
I've yet to see any proof that global warming is man made. I've seen
some evidence that it's more of a solar phenomena. 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. Tony |

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 |
