I agree there is all kinds of disinformation on all sides. It takes a lot of background to understand what is being proposed in fund me etc. There is a huge scam in the idea we still have to base our economy around petroleum. Especially when it's not really providing jobs and not being sold domestically. When old paradigms do nothing but keep things as they are that is where your "green" really is.

We don't live in a heavily populated area so I'm somewhat perplexed by your reference to use. I don't know how you drive but having the ability to go 50+mi on electricity means we fill the 8gal gas tank once every 2,400mi. And this doesn't mean it's a little funky looking can barely get down the road bathtub looking thing that only goes as fast as a golf cart. It drives just like a regular car, and when it switches to gas it's seamless.

The underlying reason for HMT, IMHO is self reliance and not be totally reliant on the real big brother, corporations who control what we can buy and seek monopoly while destroying competition. When it's possible the next step for us is get a home battery system(thanks to Tesla). That will cut out this crap of us selling our excess power to PG&E at a discount rate and then getting charged full pop when we draw off the grid.
