Last week, I took a trip down to San Jose for West Coast Green, an environmentally-focused conference with an emphasis on sustainable building. One booth stood out from the crowd

The basic drivetrain consisting of a motor or motors, transmission (if any), regenerative braking systems and controlling electronics is common no matter how you generate your electricity, and there is no reason to wait.Get off oil now.
