There is enough "off-peak" capacity for 84% of the U.S. to run plug-in hybrid electric vehicles...

Idle electric power grid could fuel most U.S. passenger vehicles right now!

Millions of Eco-Lemmings are running around buying inefficient hybrids & out of date fluorescents… while 84% of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles could power-up with little to no “extra grid impact”. Clearly this assessment needs to be looked at closer..

The Assessment finds that... Running the 220 million cars and light trucks in the U.S. fleet on electricity instead of gasoline would have no net adverse environmental effects, according to a new report from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL).

Moreover, the current power grid already has enough "off-peak" electricity production and transmission capacity for 84% of these vehicles if they were plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs).
