That plug in power has to come from somewhere. We better build either more coal or nuclear plants. The grid is being taxed as is during peak hours.

BTW, not a chance on planet earth that I would trade my Vette in for a Prius.

"We better build either more coal or nuclear plants."

There was some dude testifying in DC last week about how there are very serious plans being formulated for 22? nuclear plants by 2010 or so.

Exactly. The local power plant burns fossil fuel and transmits the electricity over lines where most of it is lost. Very inefficient.

We don't have to import coal. Most people would recharge car batteries overnight when peak demand is lower, not during the day when we use the electricity to run AC for all the big box buildings that populate our cities.
