I could imagine a smart garage where I would plug in my car and the computer handles it. I could even make money by cost shifting.... It solves energy security, energy prices and job creation...and by the way, climate change.

Why is this important?
As global average temperature increase exceeds about 3.5 degrees C, model projections suggest significant extinctions (40-70% of species assessed) around the globe.

Why is this critical?
If there’s no action before 2012, that’s too late. What we do in the next two to three years will determine our future. This is the defining moment.
