Al, I don't mind your sharing our brainstorming with the group. I try to do some of that with individuals, in case people feel that the polictics of oil vs. electric are not what they want to hear about on FLEAA. I think that the politics of this issue is crucial, and I think that we (the members of FLEAA can do something about the ChevronTexaco suppression of the making of NIMH batteries that can easily get the range we need for family, road speed EVs. Shawn, may I ask what you think of a resolution such as the ideas we began below? We could take the resolution with us on our Electric Vehicle Initiative Trip this summer. Could some of you in S. Florida write it up?
