See Appendix G for a speculative picture of how a 15-year transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy in Hawaii can be accomplished.) There are trucks and buses being converted commercially today. The convenience and low cost of this concept alone merit attention. A good start: have all government vehicles be PHEVs.
