If you are interested in learning more about how to capture carbon - look up Carbon Sequestration - or Carbon Sink if you want to investigate this further.

Feel free to discuss pros and cons, but I just want to point out that "Trolling" on a user group forum like this, means that the person is trying to provoke an argument, or at least, doesn't intend to "honestly" discuss pros and cons. Here is a quick definition of trolls and trolling...

I am on the TOU plan from SCE. Like smkettner I also have solar panels on my roof. The basic difference between the plans is with Residential, you pay for how much you use, no matter when you use it, and on the TOU plan, you pay more or less depending on the time you use it. So for me, with...

RegGuheert - I have been wondering the same thing, and here are some of my observations and speculations: Q1.) They are electric vehicles so have all of the "clean" credentials without any range anxiety issues. According to DOE (http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/fcv_sbs.shtml"...

I really hope the Infiniti LE makes it to market, but I think the indefinite hold has more to do with Tesla "cancelling" the 40 kWh Models S version (sorry, I can't find the link - but I think Elon said something like - cancelled due to lack of interest). The LE and 40S would both have been in...

Agreed - not only did they fumble the invites for their group, but they missed a chance to engage the community leaders here. At lease they recognized that Chelsea seems to be plugged in :D

It's not surprising to me that the crack team behind Nissan's brilliant advertising strategy doesn't know how to put a online community together...

Perhaps the OP is talking about the Mitsubishi Outlander Plug-in Hybrid: http://www.caranddriver.com/news/mitsubishi-outlander-plug-in-hybrid-auto-shows" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; This article says it has a 12 kWh battery and can go up to 34 miles in pure EV mode.

Thanks for clearing up these key points.

I think we are over thinking this. To me this looks like an extension of the standard battery warranty. If your battery drops below 9 bars while under original factory warranty - they will replace it. If you want that same replacement warranty after the factory warranty runs out - you can buy...

I just saw this thread - nice pictures, and very clean sunroof install: http://www.mynissanleaf.com/viewtopic.php?p=196652" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It looks like McDonald's in Riverside is getting in on the QC action: http://www.greencarreports.com/news/1083714_fast-food-fast-charging-for-electric-cars-the-perfect-combination-meal" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; The article says they have L2 & L3

I stopped by as well - talked to Wade who works there. Installation looks complete. Here is a pic

I hope that Nissan pushes the Leaf styling in the Resonance concept direction: http://www.digitaltrends.com/photogalleries/2013-detroit-auto-show-nissan-resonance-concept/#/2 More stretchy than the leaf, juke tail-light design, etc.

Tustin Nissan told me that they are getting a DCQC - so that would give you access to a quick charge while in Irvine.

How could this "expert" not know about the telematics and datalogging capability? What a joke.

Agreed. Infrastructure, processing and delivery is part of the cost. I did a bit of reading up on the Maximum Power Principal and it was very interesting: The maximum power principle can be stated: During self-organization, system designs develop and prevail that maximize power intake, energy...

Good points. My main counter is that if the alternative is cleaner and less expensive then we will reduce greenhouse emissions. RE: Maximum Power Principle: "Again, the "Maximum Power Principle" says the old fuel will still get used for something because it is available." The idea that if we...

Interesting read, but I found several problems with her arguments: 1. Oil production (does this mean extraction? It wasn't clear) has been very stable: yes but oil supply is controlled by the OPEC cartel. By maintaining reserves, they can (and do) manipulate the market - so I wasn't convinced...

---BREAKING NEWS--- Manufacturers admit that Solar Panels DO NOT work at night - all electricity generation claims by solar panel owners are over inflated and should not be trusted. Installing solar panels will leave your house without power at night. Don't be fooled by false claims.
