10.15-Megawatts/year photovoltaics
My friend John Gilkison had a turnkey photovoltaic system installed at his home in New Mexico and produced 10.15-Megawatt-hours of power last year.
He and his family is now poised for a zero-carbon plug-in hybrid.Their commute,1-way to Las Cruces,is 25-miles.With opportunity charging in town,they'd rely little on the gasoline backup.If the in-town charging stations were utilizing only renewable power sources,they'd be flirting with a zero-carbon car for much of their commuting.Something my generation would not even conceived of when we were young.
