Plum- I'm trying to build a solar cell. I've got it down to a weight my 300 horse Chevy can pull it but it's so big it'll only fit on interstates.

I'm a fan of green. Unfortunately green vehicles cost more than gas powered vehicles for now. Last year I bought a Camry. The hybrid cost $5000 more. Just couldn't afford it. Electric cars need a longer range. The technology will get better, just not great yet and expensive. And we're not all dinosaurs here on the stage.

Fin, take 95 north to 70 west that will get you close enough to the M & G. Let me know when you are leaving so you don't run over my cords.

If your cord will get you I70 I believe my solar panels will put out enough power it'll power both of us. Only problem is if it's cloudy we stop!

And don't forget in the real world, that long extension cord will burn out your electric motor.

Good point and Kerry brings up one too.

Back up plan is bedsheet sails.

We may have to tack like a sailboat, but we just might gain a few fishers on the way over.

Well, there will probably be old gasoline powered two trucks left to haul all the electric cars in off the roads. Just like there would be diesel powered generators to provide the charging stations with power. It will be like the early days of the 'horseless carriage' when teams of horses were required to pull early vehiles out of the mud holes! Just Sayin...RJS
