Led by Joey Racano, Operation Sunburst endeavours to tell the story of EV-PV (plug-in cars and solar rooftop power) whenever oil spills, oil debris, oil-fired cars, or other relevant topics come up.
It’s been a great success, so far, raising the level of awareness and pre-answering a lot of the less intelligent critiques of Electric cars (“where do we get the energy”, “do they explode”, etc.).
All Electric car advocates should join this campaign.
If EVs are for sale, the money saved NOT buying gas pays for the rooftop solar system to power the EV.
Getting rid of oil eliminates the THREE GORGONS OF POLLUTION:
1. land — refinery, oil drilling, auto, seepage pollution, MTBE, etc.
2. water — urban runoff, oil spills and gusher, refinery decants
3. air — refinery and auto emissions
Not to mention an end to oil diplomacy, oil wars, oil foreign aid, killing peasants in oil countries, health effects of oil pollution, and the retraining of oil and coal workers to produce and install clean electric-based cars and solar power.
It’s a win-win for everyone but Big Oil: but Chevron won’t give up its power and wealth lightly.
We’re now going to THANK Toyota for pre-2003 production of the existing Nickel RAV4-EV!
Toyota remains the only major auto maker to SELL an Electric car to the general public, although Chevron’s lawsuit put a stop to their use of the battery for plug-ins after Nov., 2002.
ENCOURAGE Toyota to continue making plug-in cars.
Today’s announcement that Toyota-Tesla will resume production of the RAV-EV in 2012 is very good news, if not unexpected.
1. WEB-BASED SPREADING THE WORD! Wherever you see a story that relates to oil, respond with the 10 talking points.
2. INFORMATIONAL PICKETING of CHEVRON and other Big Oil components.
3. INFORMATIONAL PICKETING of TOYOTA DEALERS and HQ, to call attention to the existing RAV-EV and ask for MORE RAV-EV.

END OIL NOW WITH RAV-EV AND SOLAR PV!

Here’s the script, on http://EV1.org/sunburst.htm
feel free to modify:
Plug-in Electric cars (“EV”) and rooftop solar energy (“PV”) is the only sustainable way to power individual autos.
Running an EV 1000 miles per month takes only 250 kilo-Watt-hours (kWh) of electric, about $25 worth; about what two old refrigerators cost and about a third of the average home usage.
It would take only a tenth of the average home roof — 6 square yards — to make 250 kWh per month, enough electric energy to run a plug-in car 1000 miles per month. The unused rooftops of America, over 10,000 square miles, can supply more energy than we need.
Because solar power and plug-in cars would cut oil profits, Big Oil has diverted attention from this proven alternative to oil and coal.
No matter how many nuke or coal plants we build, it won’t replace one drop of oil unless there are plug-in cars to use the electric.
America’s largest open-pit coal mine is a witches cauldron of toxic waste and caustic destruction; but if the ground were left alone, and covered with solar panels, we’d get more electric energy from the same space (28,000 acres) than from burning the coal.
Instead of coal mines and oil rigs, the same workers could be manufacturing and installing solar panels and building Electric plug-in cars and reforming the batteries after 100K miles.
Buying $700,000,000 per day of overseas oil from people who dislike us gives them our money and leaves only air and ground pollution, asthma and smog.
Nickel-Metal Hydride (NiMH) is the only proven Electric car battery; after 100K or 200K miles NiMH can be remelted down into new batteries without new mining.
But other batteries can be made to work, we need to get into production instead of endless research. We need to start making and improving plug-in cars right now, using the batteries we know work well.
Lowering cost and continual product improvement of EVs (Electric Vehicles) and solar panels is the only healing salve for our oil and coal toxicity.
