That's the trouble!<br /><br />Regards,<br /><br />Chris.Professor Chris Rhodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12060542089215379056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-55124772050717861002009-06-13T00:15:15.297+01:002009-06-13T00:15:15.297+01:00Here's the link, again:

On a more optimistic note:
MONTREAL ...Hello Chris:<br />On a more optimistic note:<br /><br />MONTREAL - Hydro-Québec and Ford Motor Co. are collaborating on a program to test plug-in electric cars, the two companies said Tuesday.<br /><br />The auto company, along with the Electric Power Research Institute, picked Hydro as one of nine utilities to join a North America-wide demonstration and research plan for plug-in electric vehicles.<br /><br />The three-year test program on the Ford Escape is designed to develop and evaluate technical approaches for integrating plug-ins into the electric grid. Hydro-Québec is the only Canadian company participating in the project.<br /><br />"We have to accelerate the replacement of oil by electricity for individual transportation and public transit. The transport sector accounts for 42 per cent of Québec’s greenhouse gas emissions. The reduction in greenhouse gas emissions that could be achieved through the electrification of transport in Québec, where 98 per cent of the electricity is produced from renewable sources, would be considerable. Hydro-Québec will act as a leader in this area," said Thierry Vandal, Hydro president and CEO.<br /><br />Refueling costs for an average vehicle driven 18,000 kilometres per year would be $244, compared with $1,383, the Electric Power Research Institute estimates. Based in several U.S. states, the non-profit institute conducts research and development into the use of electric energy.<br /><br />© Copyright (c) The Montreal Gazette<br />http://www.montrealgazette.com/Technology/Hydro+Quebec+Ford+test+plug+electric+cars/1677882/story.html<br />Cheers<br />GeorgeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19508699.post-77058685263548853542009-06-08T12:06:42.188+01:002009-06-08T12:06:42.188+01:00Hi George,
