I urge you to promote the development, funding, and
commercialization of ZEV's and PHEV's. With the recent
announcements by GM an Toyota regarding the low probability of
producing commercially viable hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, I
believe that PHEV's will be THE way to go for oil independence and
clean air.

I furthermore urge you to promote tax breaks for purchasers of
PHEV conversions for existing hybrid vehicles as these pioneering
citizens will lead the country and auto industry in adoption of
the only real practical means of incorporating automotive electric
drive technology. Just recall how the early purchasers of the first
Toyota Prius's led the way toward hybrid technology becoming
mainstream in the U.S. marketplace. The Prius has been the top
selling car for 33 of the 52 months that it has been for sale!
When automakers see how many PHEV conversions are being sold (with
the help of tax breaks) they will similarly develop and produce
these sorely needed vehicles.

Please to the right thing for our state and country.
