Hello Ed!
Replying to a message of Ed Wachter to John Meroth:
 EW> i think the best solution for charging electric cars is
 EW> electric from wind powered turbines and from solar converters.
 EW> any other way has too much line loss and too much loss
 EW> due to the carnot cycle.
With current technology, neither of these can fill the bill. The current 
requirements are far too high for GM's car.
 EW> maybe hydro elec is compareable.
Nope. It promotes a host of other problems.
 EW> isn t an electric car highly enefficient since it has to
 EW> haul a big heavy battery around town? ....it would seem.
That is only part of the problem. You must charge with 160% capacity to get 
100%!
TTYL,
