Forward to the Zero Emissions Future

Good news in the news, PDX Green again...

Shelby Wood's PDX Green in the Oregonian lastest article is about Tax-Credits in the stimulus and in Oregon: A discount for plug-in hybrids and all-electrics that'll make you loo... and this article is full of great links, too.

And so I replied,

Wow, money for zero emission vehicles. Great! Do you think you can help find any info about tax credits and tax write-offs for bikes and electric bikes, maybe Segways? As far as I know, 800 Watts max power output is the Oregon cutoff limit for e-bikes. I would guess that most bike commuters don't usually pedal harder than approximately 300 Watts of power output by their legs, so I'm imaging that 800 Watts is a pretty good boost. Any higher than that and they are "electric motorcycles" and a driver's license is needed, but what is the national definition of "electric motorcycle?"

And here's a cool link if you'd like an electric car to drool over... Tesla Motors

Thanks again, this kind of news makes me happy.
