Re: Boston Oil Party, Anyone?

I agree that hydrogen is not an answer, it's an energy carrier and takes 4 times more energy to make and store then use electric than a lithium battery.

 We also need to make all vehicles lighter and more efficient. Amory Lovins has a great power point on his Rocky Mountain Inst RMI website. It shows that most of the energy for any vehicle is used to moce the wieght of the vehicle itself. Make them lighter , smaller more efficient.

Hybrids can do that and allow us to use all the super light batteries we can afford. Then add more if they become lower in cost. A hybrid also uses regenerative braking to cature wasted braking over a regular car. This reduces brake dust and wear too.

A hybrid could run on many types of fuel. Even solar and wind can be used to charge and sell back energy in hybrids with V2G options.

The bicycle is the most efficeint transportation for 1 person. It even helps you exercise.  We need to use the right vehicle for each task.
