Fossilless – Step 4

[image error]

Linda’s new car has gone 350
miles on a quart of gas. Well over 200 miles per gallon but the gage tops out
there.

It’s a Honda Clarity plug-in
hybrid that provides 47 miles on pure electric before kicking into the hybrid
mode for the rest of its 340-mile range with a mere seven-gallon gas tank. She
has yet to reach 47 miles in a given day.

Step 1:         Solar panels that provide more electricity than we use.

Step 2:         Tesla Model 3.

Step 3:         Electric tankless water heaters to reduce gas usage.

Step 4:         Honda Clarity

Step 5:         Heat pump coming in July relegates gas to power-out use only.

After replacing our worn out
weed eater with a battery one (which performs better), the last remaining gas
guzzler is our lawn tractor. We need it for a while at least so that I can
periodically drive up to a gas pump in the Tesla and watch the quizzical
stares.

We’ll have to live another ten
plus years to break even but damn, it’s satisfying!
