Members of the Press are invited to attend this press conference on Saturday, February 9, 2008, at 11 a.m., in the parking lot of the Beverly Unitarian Church, 10244 S. Longwood Dr., Chicago.  Press kits will be distributed and the duration of the briefing will be 30 minutes, including question and answer time at the conclusion of the presentation.  Here is what you will see and hear about:

 

1)    An electric automobile will be recharging at the new rapid recharging station, an attractive visual image.

 

2)    Hear how inexpensive it is to recharge an all electric vehicle, or hybrid with plug-in capacity, so inexpensive that these ÒrefillsÓ are free, as a community service, part of the churchÕs ministry for Earth.  Compare that with high gas prices.

 

3)    Learn how this is the start of the local electric automobile associationÕs efforts to establish a network of rapid recharging stations around the Chicago area, to encourage and facilitate the use of electric vehicles in the Chicago area.  This will help our nationÕs struggle for energy independence, help reduce air pollution, and help in the effort to combat global warming.

 

4)    Hear from Lt. Governor Patrick Quinn how this effort fits into IllinoisÕ efforts to encourage the use of alternative energy vehicles.
