POWERING A HOUSE with a plug-in Prius. A whole house backup electrical generator can be had for about $3,000 (excluding installation); a Prius costs about $26,000 (excluding the vehicle-to-home converter), leaving me $23,000 for wheels. Which is the better deal?
EDUCATION 'EQUITY'. The only way to achieve 'educational equity' is to lower the bar and disadvantage the achievers.
