    Electric Cars, Bio-Fuel and Beer

    Decatur Metro | March 17, 2011

    Watch and marvel as I jump from electric cars to Atlanta beer in just three sentences!

    Did you know that if you type “ev charging station” and your zipcode into Google Maps, it will now spit back the nearby locations of charging stations for electric cars?

    The current map of Atlanta shows charging stations in some pretty random locations.  Like Georgia Power’s Corporate HQ, Weego Electric Cars, Northlake Mall (?), Jim Ellis “Auto Dealership”, Atlanta Segway Tours, Hartsfield Airport and Costco’s Morrow and Perimeter locations.  What a motley crew!

    And if electric ain’t your game, but carbon emissions drive you insane – don’t forget about the bio-diesel station just west of Decatur on Arizona Ave.

    And speaking of bio-fuel, researchers at Cornell report that they are hoping to use new knowledge about brewery waste to one day produce a new kind of bio-fuel.

    And speaking of breweries, have you heard about Sweetwater’s recently announced expansion?

      All those gymnastics of logic, and not one comment. That stinks.
