Welcome to the Conservation portion of the New and Improved Boulder City website.  This section is where I plan on posting information on new and innovative technologies for use on conservation.  I will post links, pictures, and content on the things I find that are interesting, up incoming, or the latest in technology.

I read an article about a hybrid car that gets an impressive 230 mpg!  It is a 3 wheeled two seater.  Aptera is the name.  They are ready to go into production in late 2008.  The approximate price for the all electric version is $26,900 and the plug-in hybrid $29,900.  These prices are subject to change any time before we begin production.  Too bad they are only going to start selling in California.

So, for my first entry I have found a website that has a web-based do-it-yourself energy audit tool.
