But as the incumbent facing re-election next year, he knows that will not be the case if prices are so high again.

At a March 9th Executive Roundtable Discussion at the San Diego Daily Transcript, leaders at all levels of municipal, tribal, defense organizations and private companies discussed their intense focus on keeping the environment in the forefront all of decisions. What they’re finding is that these “green” decisions always yield financial, organizational and community results.

For Christopher Smith, of Pure Power Distribution (www.PurePowerD.com), the “Triple Bottom Line” is a foundation of the company, so these results are quite obvious.

  • $1.5 billion for U.S.-based manufacturers to produce batteries and components
  • $500 million to help produce other electric vehicle (EV) components such as electric motors
  • $400 million to demonstrate and evaluate plug-in hybrids and other electric infrastructure concepts which could include charging stations, electric rail and training for technicians to build and repair EVs

In terms of air pollution, electric cars are a brilliant alternative to diesel or gas motors. Which highlights the issue on any truly sustainable EV owner’s mind is: FUEL.

It may be very cool to drive an EV, but if your power source is electricity from coal-fired power plants, then you’re substituting one source of air pollution for another when you drive.

The sensible thing to consider is the greener alternative: SOLAR.
