Dear Hunter Biden,
At the original suggestion of one of my partners (who was a member of fieldstone for many years and whose daughter Natasha Halenda went to Archmere Academy), I am writing regarding a new alternative technology upon which we have a group of patents pending. Among the knowledgable people who have considered our ideas about how the regulatory climate will affect our ability to market this patent pending to major car companies are Governor Brown’s top environmental people, the top NHTSA man in terms of the vehicle fleet mileage rules and a tax partner at Morris Nichols Archts and Tunnel. Based on these and many other discussions with knowledgable individuals, we are pretty sure that the administration’s interpretation of various ambiguities in the law and the NHTSA regulatory climate will determine whether automobile companies decide to add solar assist to their newly introduced electric vehicles.
As per the attachment to this letter, our basic concept is to expand a rooftop solar array to being as large as a parking space when the vehicle is parked. Because most cars are driven less than two daylight hours per day, the array will be in the larger expanded position most of the time when sunlight is available. Therefore, it would add about fifty miles to the daily range of an all electric vehicle like a Ford Focus, Volt or Nissan Leaf. However, the fact that the array will be retracted while being driven will avoid aerodynamic, stability, accessibility and other issues.
Since President Obama seems just as interested in global warming as Governor Brown, we think it is possible to use a Federal/California initiative to jumpstart an American led solar car industry. Because the extra miles added could solve the range issue that prevents electric cars from competing on an equal footing with gas driven cars, jumpstarting a solar electric vehicle industry could do more for global warming than almost anything else on the horizon. Over the next decade, it would reduce the global demand for oil and, thereby, decrease the price of gas. It could also help insure American energy independence. Why allow China to remain the leader on electric vehicles and solar technology when we in the US could get on top in what promises to be the largest new industry in the world?

Hoping for the honor of a meeting with you about this matter.

Yours truly,
