Other links:

• This car insurance company web page suggested to me by Tracy, a high school student, is somewhat out-of-date, and one paragraph claims that battery electric vehicles can be considered zero emission vehicles, ignoring all the emissions from the (mostly coal) power plants the provide most US electricity, but their web page has four good links at the bottom of their “alternative fuel” page to other reputable alternative vehicle web sites
