Oh my, and this person is in charge of energy? And she suggests that Hummers (my sons call them Dummers, and I don't mind encouraging them on that one) be plugged into the electrical grid? The same electrical grid which lives on life support right now? Generation capacity is not the sole issue: overall net transmission capacity is actually in decline and projected to continue to decline into the next decade. Electrical energy serves no purpose unless you can transport it to the end consumer. This system is already fragile. There is a silver lining in all this: there will be money to be made off other people's madness. Hummers / Dummers will one day sell for pennies on the dollar and they can then be recycled into military-use and shipped off to Nigeria or whatever our next conquest shall be... ;-)
