Jump-Starting The Electric Car Dream

Jump-Starting The Electric Car Dream

I read this news article about the Company: Better Place.
I have written about this company before, it started in Isreal, the selling of "miles for a car, like minutes for a cell phone."

Apparently other governments in Denmark and Hawaii are jumping on the bandwagon and building charging stations for 20K ekectric plug-in cars. Where is America in the line? No where. A few cities like the idea, but not the country in general. Where are our brains?

I know electric cars aren't as cool as solar, and electricity has to be generated from something. But I think this idea is going in the right direction - oil independance.

I found a fun website geared towards teaching our children about alternative energy for cars. Here is the link to the website.

I hope it is helpful and fun!
