		Willet Kempton developed the concept of V2G (vehicle-to-grid) as a way to leverage the electric utility infrastructure already in place to not only power electric-drive vehicles -- including battery and plug-in hybrids -- but just as critically, to help improve the reliability of the grid.
		While Dr. Kempton notes in his presentation before the California Air Resources Board that the current electric grid is relatively dirty since a large percentage of it relies on coal, the overall system is getting cleaner and the source of the pollution is centrally located.
		He also points out that there is no need to invest billions in a new infrastructure, unlike hydrogen or other alternative fuels, because electric power is widely available nearly everywhere.
