Agreed. Alternative energy sources are something that needs to be explored and developed. My wife is quite active with sustainable communities which, in part, deals with new ways to do the day to day things that keep our lives moving. More efficent, less wastefull, systems of living are a good thing :) .
After looking at electric scooters for a while now she has finally decided on a model that will meet our needs. At current costs it takes less than $1 per day to charge it with a range of 40-55 miles. It's no speed demon, rated top speed is about 45mph. ;) Her birthday is coming up and we've been saving so we'll see what happens...
