  Berkeley - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Berkeley is the name of several places, all eventually deriving from Berkeley Castle in Berkeley, Gloucestershire, from whom the noble family of Berkeley derive their name, and for which several vessels of the British navy have been christened "HMS Berkeley Castle".
They honor either Sir William Berkeley, governor of Virginia and co-proprietor of New Jersey, in whose honor Berkeley Plantation in Tidewater Viginia was named; or Bishop George Berkeley.
"Berkeley" may refer to the University of California, Berkeley, also known as "UC Berkeley" or "Cal"; not to be confused with Berkeley College, which is not Berkeley College, Yale, nor the Berklee College of Music.

 Berkeley Models   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
BERKELEY CARS were produced between October 1956 and December 1960 by Berkeley Coachworks at their Hitchin Street, Biggleswade factory in Bedfordshire.
The car was unique at the time of its launch in that it employed not only a transverse engine and front wheel drive, but a complete fibreglass monocoque hull reinforced locally by lightweight aluminium sections.
These larger bodied cars were commensurate with the 1958 Foursome bodies, The Q models were occasional four-seaters, the QB models were described as “roomy two-seaters” with extra luggage capacity.

 07.17.2003 - Hydrogen-fueled cars not the best way to cut pollution, greenhouse gases and oil dependency, says expert
BERKELEY – As politicians and the public leap aboard the hydrogen fuel bandwagon, a University of California, Berkeley, energy expert suggests we all step back and take a critical look at the technology and consider simpler, cheaper options.
Improvements to current cars and current environmental rules are more than 100 times cheaper than hydrogen cars at reducing air pollution.
Farrell and Keith provide figures that support their arguments and conclude that more research needs to be done before committing ourselves to a hydrogen economy, which might begin to make sense 25 years down the road.

 Berkeley Parents Network: Hybrid Cars   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
I'm almost sure we want to buy this car (with a manual transmission) but am intimidated by buying a new car from a dealer, and there aren't many used hybrids out there.
We paid $18,930.00 for the car itself (which included the transport fee that gets tacked on to new cars), $45.00 ''document preparation,'' $1565.00 tax, $168.00 license fees, and $5.00 California tire fee, for a grand total of $20713, which met our goal of getting out the door for less than $21k.
In fact, if you're buying the car with a spouse or partner or whomever, it's wise to work out your own scenario, such as a prearranged sign or glance that means, ''Let's leave right now.'' Salespeople can recognize a decisive consumer and they want their commission, so make them earn it.

Berkeley's citizens are famously farsighted, with political awareness that frequently travels the globe.
For many of the loudest opponents of UC Berkeley's plan, it's less a question of how and where the campus should expand, it's whether it should be permitted to do so at all.
Nor, of course, are those benefits limited to Berkeley: A 2001 study commissioned by the school estimated its positive economic impact on the region at $538 million, based on the fact that the majority of its revenue comes from outside the Bay Area, but the lion's share of its spending takes place here.

 Hybrid Cars - Berkeley To Study Free Parking for Hybrids
Summary: Berkeley is looking into the possibility of giving people who drive hybrid vehicles the equivalent of a free lunch -- free street parking for a year.
The idea is still in its nascent stages, with officials hammering out details such as whether the bonus should be granted to all hybrid car owners, or only for owners of such cars bought in Berkeley.
But should the city adopt such a resolution, it wouldn't mean hybrid car owners could be complete parking scofflaws -- time limits would still apply.
