I was interviewed by Erik of Yahoo! Picks Profiles regarding my work on this website, EAA-PHEV.org. I reveled how I got into EV's back in 2000 as a result of an EV show in Portland after purchasing "Lightning" my Honda Insight, followed by the conversion of PriusBlue spurred on by CalCars first conversion of their PriusPlus. You can check out my November 02, 2007 Yahoo! Picks Profiles EAA-PHEV.

SEVA:EVents 2007 04 27 - PriusBlue attended the Franklin PUD's Alternative Energy Expo in Pasco, WA and attempted to help many bus loads of grade school students learn what a Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle is and why their parents should get one. Many of them thought it was "cool", and many others offered to buy it for $5, which was mighty tempting ;)

Blue and some Wind Power
After the show Ryan and Blue took a side trip to check out the PUD's nine canyon road wind farm with it's many 60 meter (200 foot) 1330 kW turbines, each produces enough electric power for about 30,000 PHEV miles each day (1330 kW * 24 hours * 0.32 annual yield * 3 miles per kWh).

Seems that current.tv played a short 3 and a half minute video which appears to be from the Inaugural Maker Faire. I haven't seen it; a friend tipped me off to it, but I think I found it at the current.tv website here: pods/earth/PD04505
