Car Sharing with Alternative Fuel Vehicles – Part One

Here’s Funride’s Pat Mahan speaking with me about car sharing and alternative fuel vehicles on a recent episode of the 2GreenEnergy Report.

Car sharing is an important phenomenon, insofar as it reduces the net number of cars that are on our roads.  But interestingly, it signals (to me, at least) that perhaps I’m right in my theory about the paradign shift in driving habits.  

Here are people who are willing to give up ownership of their cars and see auto transportation as purely utilitarian.  I wonder how many people like that there are.  Let me tell you, if you’ve ever lived in Washington DC (I was there for four years) you have one realization real quick:  this is no place to own, park, drive, and insure a car of your own.
