名人經典:
If you take the power-generating capability of an automobile and you compare that to the electric grid in the United States, it turns out that 4 percent of the automobiles, the power in 4 percent of the automobiles, equals that of the electric grid of the US. that's a huge power-generating capability, a mobile power-generating capability.
