When Daryl Hannah sold her biodiesel El Camino on eBay earlier this year we didn’t think it would herald a full-scale shift from biofuels to electric cars, but at the very least it moves her more into the hybrid zone (i.e., she supports multiple fuel alternatives, including this hybrid bike). Whatever the case, Hannah is currently in full-EV promotion mode and recently taped a segment for The Daily Show with new guy Wyatt Cenac (who doesn’t know he’s adopted).
The taping happened as part of the Electric Vehicle Rolling Showcase with our friend Paul Scott (the guy on the right in this picture) who is in Denver as part of the Democratic Convention happening this week. Paul describes how the Hannah interview went after the jump. Paul works with Plug In America, a tireless advocacy group that promotes electric vehicles and is working with Chris Paine on the sequel to Who Killed The Electric Car?
Aside from the Daily Show excitement, Paul was glad that, “the McCain supporters were there to supply some much needed humor.” Sounds like a fun time.

Hopefully that wasn’t an EV-1 – those pieces of crap can’t make destination 35 miles away and back after a few years on the batteries. I love the way these Hollywood acros looking to greenwash their images think ordinary folks should spend $40,000 for a commuter electric car. Hanks has a converted $100,000 Scion. Thanks for leading the way, Tom. Tom the mediocre actor is now Tom the mediocre energy “expert.” Now, Tom, tell us why those 3000 California windmills were supplying aero juice during the last power outage when there was insufficinet supply. Let’s hear it, Tommy boy.
