David Sandalow, the Department of Energy's Assistant Secretary for Policy and International Affairs, poses by his Toyota Prius plug-in hybrid vehicle at his home in Washington, Monday, July 26, 2010. Sandalow's Prius, which was converted two years ago to allow him to recharge the battery from an electric outlet, gets more than 80 miles per gallon and lets him drive 30 miles on a single charge.
