So not a ton to report here (or really, there is a ton to report, but i'm just not prepared to at this exact moment), but what i would like to briefly touch on is a book that i'm currently reading/almost done with, Plug-In Hybrids by one Sherry B. (<--no, i don't know her personally, have never met her.)
That link above is a decent overview of the book, which you can also find here, in addition to some critical statements about the book (those start about halfway down that page). I'm not sure which criticisms of my own i have at this point, but i did spend some time sparring and chatting with my good friend Gregg Simms about, among other things, exactly how the Choate Prius functions, the feasibility of plug-in hybrids in America, and the cost challenges, issues, and benefits of implementing sustainable energy policy and business in the world. Shai Agassi (a fellow introduced to me by Simms the Younger) also made an appearance in an offhand way via my dad and the SJ Mercury News.
Anyway, there is still much to learn and read about for my part, but even hearing and seriously evaluating some of the nay-sayers arguments still leaves me wanting a PHEV and/or EV and convinced of their benefits. Especially when paired with solar power or other sustainable energy sources. If you care to read more, here are the Brits on the matter doing what they do well, as usual.
