| Comment | Plug in hybrid technology currently represents the best method for
the transportation industry to reduce oil consumption, CO2
emissions, and transition to a renewable energy society. Coupled
with photovoltaic solar energy, it can drastically reduce energy
costs. PV energy will soon be providing power at less than $0.05
kwh, with essentially unlimited lifetime and near zero
maintenance.
It is imperative to encourage the plug-in hybrid market to
stimulate both US jobs and achieve US energy independence. We
appreciate the desire to ensure safety in the implementation of
these systems, but unnecessarily restrictive requirements are
unwarranted at this time.
I strongly urge the commision to take to heart CalCars Felix
kramer and Ron Grembam's recommendations on this matter, and to
support the growing US industry in plug-in hybrid technology.
