Hawaii To Make Efforts To Accommodate Electric Cars
by Tanya Hervey
Well, this is the first positive news I've heard lately concerning the automotive industry; apparently the governor of Hawaii, a state that has to import almost all of its oil, is poised to turn Hawaii into an electric car state, and is consulting a California based company about building up to 100,000 electric car charging stations to accommodate the electric cars that will be built by the U.S. big three automakers; GM, Chrysler and Ford.
This sounds like a win-win situation to me -- the islands wean themselves off of foreign oil and enjoy lowered emissions, and our automakers get a nice chunk of business to keep them busy after restructuring, however that may occur.
Will Hawaii be kicking off a trend? If Governor Linda Lingle can pull this off, maybe the rest of the U.S. will follow suit and electric cars will become more mainstream.
