President Obama made a push today for both the environment and the auto industry. Appearing in Indiana the President stressed the importance of US industry in general – and the auto industry specifically moving towards clean technology as quickly as we can. The President also discussed his vision of an increasing role for electric cars and trucks.
The push for electric vehicles is important – and - must be followed hand in hand with an answer to the question what fuel will we be using for this new fleet?
Thoughts?

i thik we have to be careful not to fall into the trap of centrally-based, mass-produced electricity based on traditional methods 9coal, nuclear, oil, etc). innovation is needed to create a range of small scale, on-site production schemes keyed to local resources (solar, wind, hydro, etc). one idea– a Solar Forest to charge electric cars while shading parking – way cool on so many levels! http://tinyurl.com/lcs26g
this is a very critical part of the discussion – can “DG” really work, and how…or do we use clean central power…this is the central question….thanks for your comments!
