Jeremy Guthrie wrote the epilogue to a book about electric cars

Jeremy Guthrie wrote epilogue to book about EVs

There are so many things I want to do before I die, but here's the thing: Jeremy Guthrie has already done all of them. Visiting Japan? Done. Hanging out with Justin Timberlake? Done. Photobombing someone on a Segway? Merely riding a Segway? Done.

Now J-Guts has beaten me to yet another life milestone -- publishing a piece of writing you can actually hold in your hands: 

Along with Jay Leno, Nancy Cartwright and Ed Begley Jr., Guthrie is a contributor to Scott duPont's new book, What is the Electric Car? Though his brief epilogue doesn't exactly make him the next J.K. Rowling, he's a lot closer than the rest of us (unless you are J.K. Rowling, in which case, HI OMG CAN WE HANG OUT?). 

Here's what Guthrie has to say about electric cars:

Unlike Ed Begley, I haven't been driving electric cars for decades. In fact, I just got my first electric car last year. However, I've always had an affinity for environmental issues. Throughout my life I have I have enjoyed riding a bicycle and am much more inclined to jump on a bije to get places than driving. That focus on finding ways to be eco-friendly is still something I place a high priority on. The technology behind green cars has improved leaps and bounds over the past few years, and I'm always excited to try out the newest models ...

… I'm more convinced than ever that this is the transportation of our future. It still amazes me that I can drive from my house to my office (Kauffman Stadium) and plug into a 110 outlet for my fuel … not using a single drop of gasoline!

Another thing Guthrie gets to do that I don't: Call a stadium his "office." 

Perhaps Guthrie can introduce some of his MLB pals to his fellow contributors. Fabio, who wrote a chapter entitled "Instant ACCELERATION!" apparently owns an electric motorcycle that I bet Hunter Pence would be pretty interested in. Maybe they can also exchange hair-styling tips as well.
