electricity is a universal form of energy that can be produce a variety of ways. That allows for competition in it's production. Going forward the amount of renewable forms of electricity production will increase which is a good thing. It's allows for a 'ramping up' of the conversion to renewable power transportation, which is probably the only way the country would ever embrace it.

Yes, I know. Renewable is great, but the ROI sucks (and most likely always will) compared to nuclear and fossil fuel generation. We could blanket every square inch of our country with wind and solar generation, and still not meet demand.

Right direction?

Speaking of not right decisions, your mom made the WRONG decision by not aborting you.

As is getting the charging time down to a reasonable time period.

It might need to be a motel.

But his sig is a nuclear man! I'm so confused.

I doubt seriously this will ever happen. There is too much ****ing money to be made off combustion engines. A niche probably. But not widespread at all

Given that photovoltaic production has followed Moore's Law, they should be able to provide the majority of the world's energy needs within fifteen years. Supplement that with nuclear energy, wind energy, and hydrocarbons, and it seems like a wise investment to me.

We need to build a Dyson Sphere or GTFO.

First, anyone with a brain should care. Second, claiming that it gets us headed in the right direction is just hopeful thinking as opposed to factual speech.

Errr, I'm not pimping oil. Most of our electrical generation is created by burning coal and NG. And nuclear.
