The Pacific Northwest—Department of Energy lab in
Pacific Northwest—just did a -- finished a study in
which they discovered that there is enough excess electric
energy in this—in the United States to power about 85
percent of the cars that we currently have in the fleet. In
order to get to that level of penetration of plug-in hybrids,
it'll be 50 to 60 years into the future. So, we've got plenty
of time; in that period of time, we've got plenty of time to
build alternative energy sources to power our cars and our
homes.
