00:39:37 Ken Sheldon: The lack of an axle would seem to pose significant limits to payload and towing capacity.

01:53:30 Robert Sanchez: As some of you know Elizabeth Spike a former meeting attendee and Sierra Club member is working on a DRAFT proposal for getting lower income folks into EVs. If she is able to share with third parties I will request it and forward to those that may be interested. I may have solicited information from some of you and your other organizations.

02:06:44 Robert Sanchez: Nuclear fusion is the joke about always being the fuel of the future. H2 makes metals brittle. I read about this over 30 years ago. I guess a physical property won’t change. A niche fuel and use.
02:10:14 Robert Sanchez: Take money from pollution control enforcement and place into roads. Fewer coal and nat gas plants, fewer ICE vehicles and refineries and oil wells.
02:10:54 Robert Sanchez: Fewer nuke plants as well the next ten years.
