EPIC RIVALRY on Versus!

[Trek420]

I did watch Lance's commercial for the Nissan Leaf. Mostly because I hope the car is a big step forward in non-gas-hog technology. And because I'm sick of breathing in foul exhaust while I ride.

Hate to say this but it's only a big step forward if the electricity itself is from a clean or cleaner source. If your electricity comes from a spewing coal plant or even oil powered plant it's not that much of a leap.

If I could go solar (can't afford it, have a condo right now they wouldn't let me even if I could) I'd want one! And my roof would be my gas station. Till then I want to live as "car light" as I can.

Meanwhile I'm very happy that Tesla is gearing up to build their cars near here. It may be a boost for the local economy and bring good jobs back.

Selfishly I'm hoping it tweaks my property value up a smidge.

Meanwhile, keep riding your bikes.
