Fuel Systems Solutions Conceptualizes a Better Energy Policy

Hello 396040,
The benefit is in redistributing the energy portfolio at a net benefit to the nation and probably the world. Illustrating more of what you question:
1. The limited market that can use a 30 mile/day PHEV will see their operating cost go way down compared to gasoline. Nuclear and Coal likely main source. Remember PHEV applies as much to bicycles and scooters as it does to cars.
2. Where nat gas market is strong those drivers will see their $/mile costs drop by almost 50%. For instance OK, TX, WY, MT, CA, others? Their less gasoline use benefits the other gasoline users just as with PHEV.
3. Geothermal Heat Pump HVAC can help offset some increased Nat Gas use with real savings.
4. Solar Hot Water at even the residential level is at least break even with Nat Gas, and much better than propane and elec.
5. Commercial scale energy alternatives usually can't match coal and nuclear but they help maintain a ceiling on the other energy prices to help keep their use more affordable. Wind, Solar Heat Elec., Geothermal Heat Elec. all provide elec. at under $0.10/kWhr.
6. Throw in more conservation education and it can be substantial. All we need is perception that oil prices won't always go up to run the speculators off. Right now the message is $100/bbl and then $200/bbl are guaranteed in the future. When that is believed it becomes selffullfilling (sp?) due to speculation.
