Many of you know I have been a proponent of "Green Energy". Yesterday, I wrote General Motors an e-mail letter which follows:
(Note: I was constrained by the total number of characters allowed in my feedback to GM. I modified it below so as to not abbreviate some of the words. The basic ideas expressed have not been changed from my original note.)
To The General Motors Marketing Department
GM should partner with Solar Companies around the world to help people convert to Green energy (sustainable).
Electric Vehicle (EV) Consumers would benefit as follows:
1) They (would) "Fix" the price of energy at the time they purchase their Solar panels.
2) The Solar Panel payback period is decreased, because the electricity
usage is increased. (by buying Electric power instead of gasoline.)
3) They eliminate forever the cost of buying gasoline, and are therefore immunized from future price hikes of gasoline.
4) Once the Solar panels have paid for themselves (over the payback
period) the owners can drive for free! Their EV is charged everyday by
Sunshine!
5) With an intelligent charge controller, the homeowner can run his
house appliances from his car battery when needed. (This is NOT a new
idea, but is still a good idea.)
6) This is a patriotic idea because it helps to make our air and water
cleaner, and it makes the USA less dependent on foreign oil.
I did receive a nice canned reply from the GM Marketing Department.
