install’d!

this girl is so bad ass it hurts.

Not in a way they objected to.

remember when megan and erwin fell in love?

‘Very shortly’, eh?

Why wait?

Let’s recap… -Current price tag for the HFC in-home set-up runs about $500,000(!) -10 1,000 gallon tanks needed to run a 3,500 sq ft house and one fuel cell car (not to mention the 2nd lot of land you’ll need to purchase in order to house said tanks if you don’t have the luxury of living on 12 acres… which here on the Westside would run you no less than $850,000) . -Or one can wait until ‘very shortly’ comes around to bury a more efficient tank that can be housed underground…with an overall (potential/estimated) price tag as low as $50,000. BTW, this doesn’t even take into account the cost of an HFC vehicle itself which (for example) Honda hopes, in 3 years time, to start leasing @ $600.00/month. Not cheap! (http://www.usatoday.com/money/autos/reviews/healey/2007-11-22-fcx-clarity_N.htm)

With the average American household currently contributing 26,000+ pounds of Carbon Dioxide into our atmosphere annually we can’t, in good conscience, wait around for the price of the Fuel Cell technology to catch up with other less expensive, currently implemented & viable technologies.

In a conscience effort to reduce their footprint on our planet my friends, Paul & Zan Scott (of Santa Monica), have been successfully living off of solar power and driving an electric vehicle (powered by their solar panels) for the past 5+ years. More months than not they actually receive checks FROM Southern Cal Edison for the excess power which they’ve sold back to the grid.

For $35,000 (pre-Cal State incentives/refunds) you can have the solar panel set-up currently used by the Scotts installed onto your home. And for another $30,000 (possibly even less depending on your needs) you can purchase an electric vehicle or convert your existing automobile into an EV. Not only is this option CURRENTLY available, with REAL numbers vs. estimates…the set up only requires the installation of the solar panels and the car charger (which, depending on the type of EV driven may or may not be necessary). http://www.edcmag.com/CDA/Archives/afefabe75d697010VgnVCM100000f932a8c0____

I reiterate…why wait to start saving our planet until ‘very shortly’ (@ 26,000 pounds of Carbon Dioxide pollution per household per year) when major economically viable steps can be taken now?

how long until we can select the nose shape and hair color of our future babies? not long.

Er, left.

And: a cool president would be awesome, inspiring, culture-shifting!

COOL IS COOL, dur.

How does Melisslissliss…..... know things about me? Has she seen my loops?
