Discussion on Electric Transportation Is Part of a Larger Topic
When asked what 2GreenEnergy is, I normally talk about what we’re doing to forward the cause of clean energy, but I quickly add that we’re about sustainability more generally. I want to ensure that we play a role in any aspect of cleantech applied to transportation, agriculture, or any other discipline that affects humankind’s long-term viability.
Here’s a good example — our ongoing conversation on electric transportation, in which frequent commenter Glenn Doty wrote: (more…)

Guilt-free motoring, both in terms of what our cars produce, and how much strain on our bank accounts it produces, is probably not going to happen anytime soon. However, hybrids represent one way of lowering your individual debt by investing in cars with dual electric motors and batteries. Hybrids are now a commonplace option for drivers, with all major car manufacturers producing them.
