Excellent idea. We need to drive this idea (no pun intended)to make it happen. This takes national leadership, something the is in short supply. I will continue to watch this idea and help if I can.

Trinity sounds really wonderful. How long do the batteries last and how eco-frinedly are they for disposal? What about long-term EMR affects on passengers?

He has the patents, but is afraid GM would be the only company to use it? If he has the patents, why would GM have that ability to stop others from using this technology?

The 2010 Toyota Prius will be a PHEV. Expected range: 50 mi. This will only get better with time and technological improvements.
