Juxtaposition

Op-Ed Columnist - Yes, They Could. So They Did. - NYTimes.com:

It's a plug-in electric car that is also powered by rooftop solar panels -- and the two young women, recent Yale grads, had just driven it all over India in a 'climate caravan' to highlight the solutions to global warming being developed by Indian companies, communities, campuses and innovators, as well as to inspire others to take action.


Charging ahead with energy independence - SantaFeNewMexican.com:
Zappy is an all-electric vehicle under construction in Dan Baker's garage off Old Santa Fe Trail. Baker -- known around town as an avid cyclist -- also is a big solar-energy and electric-vehicle proponent. He'll run Zappy off the 5-kilowatt solar photovoltaic system he had installed on his roof last September.


Purpose Built Vehicles - Bright Automotive (of Indiana):
[Our vehicle] operates in all electric mode for the first 30 miles, then operates in hybrid mode with a full range of 400 miles. Bright Automotive's smart vehicle architecture is also designed to return stored energy back to the electrical grid - potentially reducing peak energy demand.
