MetroMPG: yeah, about 14% of Germany's electric power is from renewables, about 5% wind and 1% solar. I get 100% renewables power and it's actually cheaper than the regular (mostly coal-fired) power!
cfg83: good idea! Block heater at home (overnight in the dark, but outlet nearby) and solar at work (daytime, no outlet). How about a mat with water-filled tubing that you roll down behind the windshield when parked (doubles as a sunblocker), or small collectors built into the sun visors? Even a little heat from diffuse light would help.
SilveredWings: im Gegenteil, Dein deutsch ist noch sehr gut! Gruesse aus Berlin! -- Mike
