2011 will see lithium battery powered Tata Indica EVs on Indian roads
...............................................................................................................................................
The Indica EV will be powered by a MФTIVETM series electric motor developed by TM4 and will run on Lithium Ion Batteries provided by Electrovaya. This will give the Indica a range of almost 200 kilometers on a single charge thus making it a very affordable yet pollution free means of transport in India.

More wind off shore and less noise, a fair trade off?
Some on the Cape don't want to look at it. ......................................................................... ( perhaps they could locate the uglies a little farther off shore? )

Author LeJean Hardin and Jamie Payne http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Carbon_sequestration-2009-10-07.svg
 Hearing a lot of discussion on -
Carbon Sequestration or Carbon Capture ? Because coal is cheaper and plentiful and it's use provides much of our electricity... Companies are struggling to find an acceptable way to continue producing it. Clean Coal ?
I'm not sure that Carbon Sequestration or Carbon Capture is the best way to proceed. It takes energy and money to go that route. The energy costs of carbon capture
........................................................... http://www.theoildrum.com/node/2733 Creating a nearly pure carbon dioxide stream at a power plant is unfortunately quite energy intensive. The energy costs result from several processes. Firstly the added heat needed to create temperatures of 100 to 140 degrees celsius to regenerate the solvent that captures the CO2 out of the flue gas/CO2 stream. Secondly the energy to create steam that acts as a stripping gas to remove the CO2 from the solvent. Thirdly the electricity to operate the flue gas fan and pump the CO2 to its destination were it can be compressed. Fourthly the energy costs of compression of the CO2 to make it transportable towards it’s final destination were it can be stored.
...The European Union wants to have 12 large CO2 capture and storage
demonstration projects in place by 2015, requiring an investment of 5 billion euro.

In refrence to the BP Spill-
The Envcironmental Groups are going to become Very Vocal now. No one likes coal/oil but we need to be realistic.
There is little Govt. incentive in place to be more free of it. and we need it to bridge over to Green the next 10 to 15 yrs...
That said, there are a lot of new Energy Companies working at a furious pace. I invest in: Electrovaya, W2 Energy, EnergyConnect and Carbon Sciences. Another Company is ExxonMobil, which recently bought into Natural Gas. Behind the scenes ExxonMobil is of course looking to move into a more - Environmentally Friendly Phase. They are in partnership with several Companies looking for a way out of the haze. ( algae Oil ) Pick your favorites now. You may have noticed when all the stocks are lower, Electrovaya remains in the green. Microsoft is giving away it's new Grid Software for free. How nice. But we have seen the havoc reeked by going all in for one... making it much easier to take down. Let's not repeat that mistake. The more differing software out there connecting up the grid the less likey to see it all fall down at once. ....................................................................................................................
The UK Is rushing Ahead with going green.
...the new UK Prime Minister David Cameron said on Friday.
"I don't want to hear warm words about the environment.
I want to see real action. I want this to be the greenest government ever,"
by various people on going green ... never mind the carbon tax.
We know it will get passed on :/ for the US anyway.
The Video on China is quite goog... check through and see what interests you.

It adds: "While it is difficult to predict precisely what economic, political, and strategic effects such a shortfall might produce, it surely would reduce the prospects for growth in both the developing and developed worlds. Such an economic slowdown would exacerbate other unresolved tensions, push fragile and failing states further down the path toward collapse, and perhaps have serious economic impact on both China and India."

A Heads Up ........................ It hasn't passed yet- but see what some are up to....
I would LOVE to see them Tell Mr. Ed Begley, Jr. that his home set up is now considered a
"A micro-grid" OR-
...it is clear that the State has an interest in
providing guidance, if not legal requirements, for how a micro-grid is managed and
operated . . .
From-
Sponsor: Sen. Robert Menéndez [D-NJ]
...................................................................... SA 1636. Mr. MENENDEZ
submitted an amendment intended to be proposed by him to the bill H.R. 1419, to move
the United States toward greater energy independence and security, to increase the
production of clean renewable fuels, to protect consumers from price gouging, to increase
the energy efficiency of products, buildings and vehicles, to promote research on and
deploy greenhouse gas capture and storage options, and to improve the energy
performance of the Federal Government, and for other purposes;
which was ordered to lie on the table; as follows:
At the end, add the following: TITLE VIII--MISCELLANEOUS
SEC. 801. STUDY OF THE EFFECT OF PRIVATE WIRE LAWS ON THE DEVELOPMENT OF COMBINED HEAT AND POWER FACILITIES.
.....................................................................
Final Private Wires Study 1-12-09
................................................................... ... a few excerpts ...Electric distribution utilities in the United States operate for the most part as state- franchised, regulated monopoly service providers within a defined geographic service
territory. They are subject to extensive and pervasive regulation, with a goal of ensuring
that they provide safe and reliable electric service to all customers at a reasonable price.
...Similarly, while every state permits customers to generate their own electricity on-site for
their own use,the ability of self-generating customers to serve a second, contiguous or
non-contiguous site or to sell "excess" electricity directly to other customers is limited,
either because these transactions might subject the seller to extensive regulation as a
utility or because the incumbent regulated public utility has the exclusive right to provide
some or all of the services in question.
5.1.3.1. Emergence of Non-Utility Generation Every state permits customers to generate electricity for their own needs. What was
originally less clear was whether the local utility would be required to interconnect a
customer's generator to the utility's grid and, if so, whether and how any excess output
from the generator could be sold.
However, the installation of physical wires raises concerns that may increase the level of ongoing oversight and regulation that might be necessary, even if full utility regulation
would not be appropriate.
As one doctoral candidate recently wrote in connection with the
related topic of microgrids
A micro-grid, by definition, involves multiple customers and essential services for electricity andheating. When one also considers that customers may not fully understand the
technical aspects or risks associated with energy quality and reliability, it is clear that the
State has an interest in providing guidance, if not legal requirements, for how a micro-grid
is managed and operated . . . [T]here are several issues that deserve consideration. They
include but are not limited to: rate- setting; billing and collection; dispute resolution;
insurance holdings; credit; and demand management for reliability.99
The issues are no different for a small system consisting of a CHP facility and an
unaffiliated potential customer to be served by private distribution wire.

I could not believe the review I saw from a fellow with a severe lack of vision and imagination.... (from my point of view.)
He didn't like the combination of gas and electric being called an "Electric Car"
How dare they. That car should be totally electric.
Let me help :)
You see, there is a new idea out there... different types of fuel for your car.
Never before has a car been made to allow for such versatility.
ExxonMobil and a few people who escaped BP are out there this minute refining
and defining the Algae Oil Business. There are several other fuels, made from natural gas,
plant fiber, garbage and carbon captured, ripe for the taking.
So be not afraid... grab that VOLT, it's the future.

Has this fellow heard? Free Solar Charging stations... It's called freedom from OPEC
.......................................................................................................... Do It yourself Solar on the tool shed... the garage roof... will get you a free charge for your car :) One More Time... Freedom :) Yes they will become more affordable.... China and India, European Models are coming to town.
Yes the batteries will get smaller... remember - Huge Video Cams on the shoulder? Range? average commute trip is 33 miles ... plug it in at work.
Many Companies will have charging like this... Gone are the days when we looked solely to US Makers for our transport. Ah Choice.
Hey, it's a new way to think... solar Parking/charging... could look like...

BYD
................ Some BYD cars seem to copy those of many brands including Lexus,[11] Toyota,[12][13] Honda,[14] Mercedes Benz,[15][16][17] and Porsche.[18] For example, the BYD S8 convertible bears great similarity to the Mercedes CLK from the front, and the Renault Megane CC or third generation Chrysler Sebring convertible from the rear.[19] Chery
The Chery QQ (left) and Daewoo Matiz (right). The QQ became the center of an industrial copyright and intellectual rights controversy, as General Motors claimed the car was a copy to the Daewoo Matiz (which is marketed outside South Korea as the Chevrolet Spark). GM executives demonstrated the extent of the design duplication, noting for example that the doors of the QQ and those of the Matiz are interchangeable [20] without modification.
GM China Group indicated the two vehicles "shared remarkably identical body structure, exterior design, interior design and key components."[20] MotorAuthority.com[21] and Car and Driver called the QQ a "carbon copy", while the International Herald Tribune, in a 2005 article, referred to it as a clone.[22]
Also, the Chery Tiggo was criticized for resembling a 2nd generation Toyota RAV4.

Zion Nuclear Power Station .................................................. It is approximately 40 direct-line miles north of Chicago, Illinois and 42 miles (68 km) south of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
On August 23, 2010, it was announced that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission approved the transfer of Exelon's (ComEd's parent company) license to EnergySolutions of Salt Lake City. The company will begin the 7-10 year process of dismantling the site, and will eventually haul away pieces of the plant to its property in Utah. After this is complete, Exelon will resume responsibility and transfer the spent fuel into concrete casks from its current pool. [4] wikipedia
The New York Times
....................................
After the Nuclear Plant Powers Down......................................................................The Zion Station, its twin-unit nuclear reactor here, was no longer profitable. But the
company could not afford to tear it down: the cost of dismantling the vast steel and
concrete building, with multiple areas of radioactive contamination, would exceed $1 billion
