Electric Cars and Bicycles are a great way to reduce the Oil-hungry United States' appetite for foreign oil and petroleum products. Global Warming, and Climate Change are being affected by the internal combustion engines and the wasteful system that power companies have in place right now. Some people are concerned that if the US moves to Electric Vehicles, the power-plants would not be able to keep up with the heightened demand of electricity to re-charge said Electric Cars. Well, this is common, and Climate Change is changing for the worst. Global Warming is not a myth, and those that are not concerned about it are usually ignorant, and not considerate enough to think of the future generations that we will be leaving the world to. Global Warming and Climate Change are both directly related and are bothe directly affected by the emissions that cars produce. Smart Grid Technology will refine the cuurrent (primitive) power grid system, and fine tune each customer's needs and supply. If your electric car is fully charged and requires no more charging, the Smart Grid technology will recognize this and stop charging when appropriate. The Smart Grid Technology will also be able to use your electric car's battery system when not in use, to store or borrow power with the owners permission. .

Oil companies are the most powerful companies in the world, so with this power, comes bias support of Oil based products and services, backed by the Billion dollar Oil Industry. These are the Inconsiderate companies that do not care about the planet, life, or the well-being of future generations. This is why we, basic citizens, need to push the Green Solutions now. The Smart-grid is a great start to reducing the US's dependency on Oil. Get out of your dirty car, and find an alternative form of transportation for your shoter trips, and save the car for multi-person, long distance travels. Be aware of Climate Change, and also the effects of Global Warming. We need to catch up all of the lost years of gross pollution, and offset the damage with positive climate changes, that reduce Global Warming. Enjoy.
