Al Gore wrote an excellent column in the New York Times on Sunday, 11/9, in which he lays out a very clear and sensible five-part plan to get America to produce 100 percent of its electricity from carbon-free sources within 10 years. Although he has launched the We Campaign which has pushed this goal, this article is a quick and easy read, and as such, I highly recommend you take a look.
Interesting proposal. I always love the idea of allowing hybrids to plug back into the grid. Energy storage is such a big part of the problem, so if people have them anway from their hybrids, why not use them when not in use. I wish I had more accurate, scientific proof of that idea and technology working. All I’ve read so far seems to have been hypothetical or in testing.
