Personal: Today Is Earth Day

If we truly take action, then maybe on the 60th Anniversary of Earth Day, if we’ve dropped our CO2 emissions by 50 percent, updated our electrical grid and electric vehicle charging network, taken natural gas out of many of our homes and buildings (especially all new ones), and done lots of other things to clean up our act, then we can raise a glass and toast the event.

VW and Mitsubishi are demonstrating electric vehicles with solar roofs.
