My Modest Proposal to End Global Warming, Revitalize GeneralAviation, and End Our Dependence on Foreign Oil

I do get comp time, but somehow getting a Thurday off doesn't really make up for working a Saturday night, if you know what I mean. Hey, Thursday (when I actually get it off) is my "Sunday". I *love* having non-weekend days off -- no crowds anywhere. And I work *every* Saturday, so suck it up! :-) But all the fly-ins are on Saturdays ... |

And, I'll bet you don't get to make many fly ins since most are geared
to folks that have Sat/Sun off work...that would be the BIG downside for me!! Scott Jay Honeck wrote: Hey, Thursday (when I actually get it off) is my "Sunday".

In fact, given my 6 mile (round trip) commute each day, I'm considering an all-electric car as my next vehicle. convert one. I am converting a 1978 Citroen and will have a 10 mile range at 35mph (what I need for my commute) for aroung US$1500 invested. there is a very good list I can point you to if you are interested. You being in the US makes its much easier than it has been for me -- Eduardo K. | http://www.carfun.cl | I'm white and nerdy http://ev.nn.cl | Weird Al | |

A windmill at home is not likely to have the output to power an all-electric car for more than a few yards. you are very misinformed. a BEV needs around 300wh to go a mile, that means a windwill that makes 1kw per hour only needs a couple of hours to make enough for a local commute. In my case its 5miles to my job, or 1.5kwh. If it's a power grid powered by coal, you're likely causing more pollution than a car that's nicely tuned. also missinformed. coal (or diesel) to electricity is over 90% efficient, versus the 30% or so of efficiency of an internal combustion engine. more efficient is almost always less polluting. -- Eduardo K. | http://www.carfun.cl | I'm white and nerdy http://ev.nn.cl | Weird Al | |
