Electric cars that pay
By Mark Clayton | Staff writer of The Christian Science Monitor

So, you're thinking of buying one of those gas-electric hybrid cars 
like the Toyota Prius or Honda Insight. They're trendy, conserve fuel, 
and reduce pollution. But to really go "green," some entrepreneurs and 
academics say, you should try a Volkswagen Jetta.

Not just any Jetta. A dark blue one that a California electric-car 
company has modified so that it not only uses electricity but generates 
it for other purposes. So, once it's parked, you plug it in and sell 
excess electricity to a utility.
