...there's a simple solution, buy up a 100 or so lap top computers and transplant their batteries into your EV...Prius, Insight, etc.

...I hear LOTs of enterprising Californians are "upgrading" (eco version of Calif's early days of "hot rodding" by upgrading?) their Hybrids to home "rechargable" capabilities.

...the 'new' Tesla is an eco version of the 'old' DeLorian...just get a bigger, better, faster rechargable "flux-gate capacitor"...or more realistically, a cheaper super-capacitor.

...Hydrogen power is great, just "water" out the exhaust pipe, but getting the fuel is where the problem lies...electrolysis is do-able, but trades coal-fired energy source to make something that's both dangerous and difficult to handle and store--just ask Goodyear, Hindenberg, and the USN blimps (which use Helium not Hydrogen).

...I'm all for a grass-roots uprising of DIFFERENT possibilities, from which the PUBLIC gets to pick/select the "best" from by way of their buying power...but, one has to wonder if the Government would even LET the people have, let alone exercise, that kind of "power"???
