17、 people who dont have much knowledge in the field. Forgers have many ways to make their work look real. For example, they buy old books to use the aged paper of the title page, and they can treat paper and ink with chemicals.In Springs time, right after the Civil War, Britain was still fond of the s

The plan, announced today by governor Linda Lingle, calls for a public-private partnership with Better Place, a company that develops basic equipment to support electric vehicles. The Silicon Valley start-up, which made a similar deal with cities in Californias San

41、 Francisco Bay Area last month, plans to install between 70,000 to 100,000 charging ports throughout Hawaiis four largest islands.Much of the electricity used to charge the vehicles is expected to come from renewable energy sources, according to Better Place CEO Shai Agassi. “Hawaii, with its ready

42、access to renewable energy resources like solar, wind, wave and geothermal (地?zé)?, is the ideal location to serve as a blue print for the rest of the U.S. in terms of reducing our dependence on foreign oil,” said Mr. Agassi in a press conference. “Hawaii has made the promise to break its dependence on

43、 foreign oil, and is leading the way in coping with the most important economic and energy issues facing us today.”Hawaii spends $7 billion on oil imports annually. The Wall Street Journal explains the scale of this burden: Hawaiians pay high electricity prices because costly oil is burned to produc

44、e power. The price of electricity ranges from 24.9 cents per kilowatt hour on Oahu to 38.5 cents on Hawaii, the big island, compared with an average of 8.9 cents in the continental U.S. Such high prices should encourage the development of renewable energy.The island state is well-suited to electric

45、vehicles, as drivers rarely travel more than 100 miles at a time, reducing the need for stations where exhausted batteries are exchanged for fresh ones. The New York Times notes that Better Place hopes to get started in such island economies that have high energy costs and short trips, and then subs

46、equently become more affordable as the charging networks are scaled up.“We always knew Hawaii would be the perfect model,” Mr. Agassi told the Times. “The typical driving plan is low and leisurely, and people are smiling.” In addition to partnering with Hawaii and Bay Area cities, Better Place has b
