Re: [MBZ] Fuel Mileage

[Rich Thomas]

Charge cars at night with base load nuke power (put them closer to where 
the power is needed, NIMBY be damned) then supplement with 
(energy-efficient) biofuels, makes sense to me.  My issue with little 
electrics and commuter cars to use for putting around town is the 
cell-phone yappers in bigass vehicles, for whom stop signs are not even 
within their perceptions (like the two I almost t-boned yesterday, 
within 6 blocks of the house).  Maybe roll cages and restraints are the 
answer, though m1v1=m2v2 still applies?

There is no environmental gain from using chargeable hybrids -- you

build the plants were the power is used, they stick us poor 
midwesterners with them).

The real solution is not to drive as much, and I've gotten into the 
habit of staying home on weekends.
