"By early next year, 100 Silicon Valley business executives will be driving high-mileage plug-in hybrids, a testament to the seriousness of global warming and the earnestness of local leaders to help fight it."
It would be far more impactful and I’d be far more impressed if the "Plug-in Hundred" gave up private jets. I think Carl is intellectually honest about this effort, but it still strikes me as shamefully self-congratulatory considering the power and ability to make real change that these business leaders have. The cost of buying a batch of electric cars represents a rounding error on a rounding error for these companies.
