Personally, I think that it is great that they are considering moving to an electric car network, but electricity is EXPENSIVE in Hawaii! You know, Solar and Wind power would help out, but they are still really expensive for starting up. If you really want to see an inexpensive way to generate electricity, take a look at the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii Authority (NELHA) on Big Island. Its a shame that they are not allowed to compete in the utilities market. Hawaii's Electric Company (HECO) has a death grip on their tenants and they definitely have a well oiled monopoly! (No pun intended)
The movie Gattaca. Not the best movie out there, but definately not a horrible movie. It is about the future when people are discriminated against because of their genes. Looks like we are getting closer to the sci-fi world that we dreamt about 20 years ago...
