Happy Independence (from gasoline) day!

Happy 4th of July America!

Julie's BMW i3, uses 6 kwh of energy made from sunshine, to drive 28 miles to work in Solana Beach and back. That's the same amount of energy, plus 8 gallons of water, that it takes to refine one gallon of gasoline.

Think about that for a second or two.
Happy Independence Day!
