Congressional Unveiling of Major Energy Savings and Carbon Reduction...
Do you want to save 4.48-7.95 million metric tons (MMT) of carbon annually (equivalent to removing approximately between 3-5.4 million automobiles annually)? Do you want to save 25 to 42 Terawatt hours (billion kWh) per year (equivalent to 3 to 6 nuclear power plants or 6 to 10 coal-fired plants)? Do...

PEV's Are Coming But . . . Lots of Questions to Answer
Everyday I read something new and interesting about some form of electric vehicle. Hybrid electric, Plug in hybrid electric, Plug In electric, etc. While they're all using different technologies, the one thing they all seem to have in common is that they are still pretty much in the prototype stage...
