I joined your meetup.com. I'm pasting the following FYI

I invented the HEV beginning 1979. Patent issued 1986.

Patent 4,597,463 shows energy transfer.

My file number 06/546,170 shows the drive.

I’m pushing for a PLUG-IN (CNG) HEV (hybrid ELECTRIC) vehicle.
700 miles or more between fill ups is doable with a PLUG-IN (CNG) (hybrid ELECTRIC) vehicle. The battery technology has been developed.
It’s said the battery will charge in minutes and provide a range of 500 miles.

I would like people to energetically, aggressively push the American Automobile manufacturers to build the PLUG-IN (CNG) HEV (hybrid ELECTRIC) vehicle). This vehicle will reduce consumption of any alternative energy and reduce carbon.

WRITE, CALL, E-MAIL YOUR LEGISLATURES!!

The PLUG-IN (CNG) HEV (hybrid ELECTRIC) vehicle) can use many alternative energies. It is the most flexible automobile available. It’s not being built to use flex fuel, hydrogen, CNG, LNG, H2, E85, etc with the exception of gasoline/diesel but it can be.

Thank you

Cleantech Forum XVIII in Washington DC to Drive Cleantech Policy Debate, Investments and Solutions for Emerging Markets

Leaders in Business, Government, Science to Push Capital Market Innovation and Scaling to Meet Global Demand

WASHINGTON, DC -- With energy and climate concerns at the top of the U.S. political, investment and business agendas, more than 600 of the world’s leading cleantech investors -- representing over $3 trillion in capital -- will convene with entrepreneurs, scientists and policy-makers in Washington, DC for Cleantech Forum XVIII.

Our eighteenth Cleantech Forum is convening the cleantech investment community with policy-makers at a pivotal time of opportunity to stimulate global markets.”

McCormick, Under Secretary for International Affairs for the U.S. Treasury Department, outlining a new $8 billion fund for international clean technology deployment for emerging markets; Chris Luebkeman, Director of Global Foresight and Innovation for Arup, one of the world’s leading design and consulting firms that recently completed the National Stadium and the Aquatic Center for China’s inaugural Olympics, will explore breakthroughs in innovation; and Dr. Tony Haymet, Director of the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, will highlight emerging breakthroughs in science which hold disruptive promise.
