CNN: RAN Activist Shows How to Live Life Without Oil

posted by Jen Krill in Freedom from Oil, RAN General on July 17th, 2008

Check out this great piece from longtime RAN friend Marc Geller from Plug In America. He took a CNN reporter for a ride around San Francisco in his petroleum-free, solar powered electric car. The best way to solve our addiction on oil (and high gas prices, and wars for oil, and expanding refineries to process dirty heavy tar sands oil) is to transition away from internal combustion engines and towards bikes, mass transit, and plug in vehicles recharged by renewable energy. Great job Marc!

    Great story. All we need is a few million more of these cars on the roads. Too bad the auto companies won’t build them.
