Ok, this article had me at "Hello." I've been wanting to dump my vehicle for a year, but even though I live in a high-traffic area of my little city, there aren't enough amenities within easy transit or walking distance to shed the car habit. This appeals to my utopian side. If we could generate enough solar and wind to keep the electricity going, I'd gladly telecommute.
