Google Hybrid Cars that plug into Solar Power. It don’t get cleaner than that.

Google’s got a car you can plug into the wall….. or into an outlet powered by solar power. It don’t get cleaner, man.

Paying for grid power makes it about a penny a mile.

Here’s a video with a bunch of smart people explaining it a lot better than I can:
