Feeling the Pain at the Pump?
Get Street Smart^SM!!

The California Center for Sustainable Energy hosts 2nd annual Street Smart Event Sunday, July 27

The beautiful summer months encourage San Diegans to venture out into the city, but travel by car comes at a high price. With gas prices creeping ever closer to five dollars per gallon, the need for a change is also at an all time high. The California Center for Sustainable Energy’s ( CCSE) free annual Street Smart Event focuses on those changes. The event educates San Diegans interested in getting more mileage for their money and learning about fuel alternatives.

A wide variety of vehicles will be on display at Street Smart. Plus, transportation experts will be on hand to answer questions along with leaders in electric vehicle technologies. The keynote speaker, Chris Paine, director and creator of “Who Killed the Electric Car” will take the audience behind the scenes of the award-winning documentary that investigates the rise and fall of the first electric vehicle, the EV1.

Plus, the Solar Taxi will be making its debut visit in San Diego at Street Smart during its trip around the world fueled by the sun! Experience the Solar Taxi and hear from its driver, Louis Palmer, a man on a solar-powered mission.

Palmer is now more than halfway through his trip, in an effort to bring awareness to alternatives to fossil-fuel based transportation.

Free fuel efficiency and alternative transportation workshops, green transportation vendors, prize giveaways and alterative fuel vehicles on display are awaiting you at Street Smart. It’s being held at the California Center for Sustainable Energy, 8690 Balboa Ave. Suite 100, San Diego, CA 92123 on Sunday, July 27th from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Learn more and pre-register at www.energycenter.org.
