If Thomas is correct, we could save significant oil imports. His suggestion is much more reasonable than his previous railings against the Bush energy policy.
Now, if I've got this right, we implement Friedman's suggestion and plug our new hybrid cars in at night and half of American drivers would use the electric grid rather than petroleum to power their cars each day.
Please, Thomas, tell us how much additional electricity we must generate to substitute for petroleum and how we will generate it?
To provide this amount of electricity would require a substantial increase in our base load generating capacity. Will that come form coal, oil, hydro, nuclear, solar or wind?
I like your notion, but let's solve the electrical capacity part of the equation, too.
