Quote
I could imagine a smart garage where I would plug in
my car and the computer handles it. I could even
make money by cost shifting.... It solves energy
security, energy prices and job creation...and by the
way, climate change.

Why is this Critical?
As global average temperature increase exceeds about 3.5
degrees C, model projections suggest significant extinctions
(40-70% of species assessed) around the globe.
