Electric Vehicles

I believe that one of the most important steps we can take to reduce our usage of oil and to pollute less is to electrify our transportation. By the time my son starts driving in 2012, there will be a whole slew of options for electric vehicles. And by the time my daughter starts driving in 2015, most new cars sold will be electric.

As can be seen below, I am not waiting! I already have four electric vehicles and have a low number on the Nissan Leaf reservation list.
