Came across this, burlingtonfreepress.com | Burlington PluckPersona | The Burlington Free Press this morning. While it's obvious why a utility company would support such a project, it's nice to see happening at home where the back and forth political BS usually prevents any kind of progress.
Absolutely correct about the political bs in the area. Now if we could just get these wind farms approved, things would be pretty decent.
Wow, I read that comment about the power plant(s)...that person needs some education. I thought Vermont was a bit better than that opinion! Overall, as plug-ins come to our driveways, we all need to get the correct data and info out to those who still think all the Prius and EV myths are true. Hello, just point them to do some googling I say. I'm so wanting a plug-in Prius...
Green Mountain Power? Hmm.. My company does IT for Green Mountain Energy here in Texas. Not sure what their take is on hybrids, but I bet they like 'em. If I can only sell them on virtualization!
It's a shame the add-on systems don't use regenerative braking to charge the added batteries. I suppose it would be too complicated for an add-on system. Hopefully Toyota will correct this in their plug-in. I know several places where you could fully charge the added batteries out west. Otherwise they're just dead weight after the first 20-30 miles.
