John Addison’s Video Interview about Electric Cars
Riding on Sunlight
In only 10 years, we will see a surprising increase in transportation powered by renewable energy instead of fossil fuels. Public transportation will be used at record levels. Much electric light-rail and buses will be zero-emission. High-speed rail will link major pubic transportation systems. There will be growing use of electric vehicles, plug-in hybrids, and innovative “last miles” access to and from transit. Millions of individuals, corporations and local governments will power their vehicles with renewable energy including wind, solar, geothermal, ocean, sustainable hydro, and bioenergy.
