I agree completely, but when trying to explain a new idea I figured comparing it to an existing idea might help, also there has been a bit of talk about people building their own plug in hybrids, even if they only get a mile or two of range and altho that is great for really short trips where you could avoid using any gasoline it seems like a system that pre-warms your car and saves gasoline that way could do just as much good and at a cost that more people can afford.
