Thanks for looking. I'm very busy with work and I can't review the materials again but yes I think part of the problem was in the difference between the charts. Sorry I can't do better than that right now. It also troubles me the environmental and health cost of the fossil fuels and the nuclear is not being figured in. I live near a nuclear power plant designed exactly like Fukushima and sitting right on the beach near a major fault in California offshore. Yet because there's nowhere to store the nuclear spent fuel rods yet all the material is still sitting in that site as a dozen sites all around the world. I think the air pollution of coal is part of its economic cost and should be included and such analysis. And I think the long-term storage of nuclear spent fuel rods should be figured into the cost. Apologies if I'm missing something in the article. Oh, well I'm dictating text let me quickly say I also I'm concerned about the environmental costs of solar. Giants were raised even arranged in the desert can harm ecosystem is pretty substantially because the Shadows that create on the ground. All of it should be factored into cost.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
