Got to meet Ed Begley Jr.(he drives solar-electric)

Saturday,I car-pooled with a couple of friends to Plano,Texas for their Green-Living Expo.Ed Begley Jr. was the keynote speaker.He's the real deal! He was informative,knowledgeable,inspirational and has been dancing the dance since 1970.He has one of 700 Toyota Rav-4 plug-in EVs manufactured,that he re-charges from his home's rooftop PV array.We can read that totally zero emissions!I got to visit with him briefly on the side about traffic light synchronization and he was very generous to share some his time.Great guy.------------- Also met North Texas Electric Automobile Association folks,saw their own personal EVs,and I'll be able to lean on them in the future when it comes time to do the Karmann-Ghia,of which they had an example of at the expo.A very good Saturday!
