Environmental Hope

Some of what I read about the looming environmental disasters facing us--like our new Secretary of Energy's statement that my adopted state may become practically uninhabitable in my children's lifetimes due to the potential drying up of our primary water supply--makes me feel that we are doomed no matter what we do. But this morning I perked up when I read in a review in the Los Angeles Times that we can make an electric car that leaves a Porsche in the dust! Maybe the future we have all been waiting for has finally arrived.
