Ulma, who is she? I guess I'm in the wrong generation was she on the cartoon channel. lol

California is a whole new issue. I was born and raised there and had enough sense to get out, even though I love to visit once in a while. Remember all the oil rigs in the Long Beach area back in the 50's?

I agree with Kurts electric has to be a big part of the picture in the near future. I believe I read where we could charge a million electric cars during low demand times with the excess in the power grid and not require additional energy. You are right, the infastructure is not there to handle it presently but it will take the car mfgs. years to put enough affordable electric cars on the market. Our problem in this country is we need to get the politicians involved and study it to death before we would ever take a step. If we were a country with the population of Montana we could probaly change all of this in a year or two. I drive about forty miles a day and will embrace an electric car.
