By the way, just in case you think I’m ideologically opposed to transportation: Like you, I like to travel. I’m not keen on jerking around from one block to the next every day the way so many of us apparently have to live. But, here’s the answer, even to that. And I don’t know how Sine missed this. But it even beats the Tesla that has to get recharged from the coal powered plants we have making electricity. Because the Monsoon electric car just runs on solar. – Back in 2001, University of Arizona engineering students drove a solar powered car from Chicago to LA along Coronado’s precious Route 66. They didn’t have to refill its battery because the sun did that all along the entire drive And they weren’t alone, because there was a bunch of entries in that race that allowed only solar powered cars to compete. From all over the world.

You ought to read the link I gave you about that for the text note. I think that race is an annual thing.

SINE

And if you want to have something to talk about with your buddy Elon, you ought to see the flick they did at Sundance. It was called something like Who Killed the Electric Car back in the 90's when even GM was making them. If they'd stuck with it maybe California wouldn't be getting barbecued so bad.
