We Can Rebuild It

As the push to get more people to drive alternative energy vehicles continues, the question should be ask—who is going to fix these electric and hybrid cars when they start to break down.
Instructors at community and technical colleges have been training these new mechanics for several years.
In a good example of recycling, student in the Alternative Fuels program at Ohio Technical College converted a 1997 Ford van to run on electric power, complete with solar panels to recharge the batteries.
In addition to receiving a new drive train and systems, the “Electro-Van” was spruced up with a new, green paint job.
The next student project will be converting a 1982 Mercedes to run on bio-diesel.

I think management training programs help to solve this problem. By utilizing solar power we are saving our earth for next generation. I heartily welcome the people to use more solar power.
