We've had our Nissan Leaf for nearly a year now and we love it! The roof of our house sptors 3.8kW of solar PV panels, which, it appears, generate nearly enough electricity for both the house and car. So we are driving a very fun, comfortable car, with very low maintenance costs, for nearly $0.00/mile. We lease it for about $350/month. After rebates, it would have cost about $23,000 if we had purchased it. We'd definitely do it again. Our other car is a Prius. You have to have another car: the Leaf is for med-to-short-hauls only: about 75 miles on the highway before having to charge again, which takes some time. Quick or instant-charging stations as ubiquitous as gas-stations would make electric vehicle technology superior in every way. Some day. Meanwhile, there's the plug-in hybrid, like the Volt, which is a great, if pricey compromise.Government could: 1) continue and expand subsidies and tax breaks for electric vehicles & infrastructure, 2) continue and expand support for research on electric vehicle technologies like batteries, capacitors, inductive charging, etc., 3) continue and expand incentives for clean power generation like wind, wave, solar and other sustainable generation (especially small-scale, roof-top, distributed), 4) continue and expand incentives for electric grid infrastructure upgrades which support and favor distributed generation (side benefit: more secure and resilient in emergencies), 5) eliminate subsidies and tax breaks for dirty power like coal and oil, especially tar-sand oil.Exxon should stop fighting and embrace electric technology. They should bet on future, not past power sources. Oil is in decline, they know that. They need to reposition their strategies around clean technologies. They need to embrace and be part of the climate-protection solution, rather than remaining trapped as a producer of dangerous, dirty, environmentally devastating products. As awareness of climate-change disasters sinks in to the general public, if Exxon continues to be identified as the largest oil company in the world, it will be seen as a major culprit, and will suffer accordingly. This is a real threat to the long-term existence of the company. Does Exxon want to assure its survival long-term? We'll be able to see, depending on what they do now.
