I agree with what you say.  Driving our vans is bad enough for the environment, let's not make it
worse.  To this end, on our recent trip, I used an inverted to charge my camera battery, and run
my lap-top.  On my next trip, I'll use the inverter to charge my e-toothbrush too.  When I do use
batteries, I use rechargeable batteries and charge them off the inverter too!   CDN tire has a 2
amp solar panel that I'm looking at to run a top loading (compressor type) fridge (more energy
efficient than front loading fridges).


Too bad that we can't put all of the Iraq/Afgan war $$s into solar/wind/renewable energy research
instead.  Malcolm (Halifax)
