[quote=spdrun]Good, about time the world (starting with CA) was weaned off oil use for energy.

Yeah except that it’s rather hard to substitute the energy density of a gallon of gas for transportation purposes. It’s almost impossible that you’d ever be able to design an airplane that can run on electric via battery storage. I suppose with a large enough investment you could change your infrastructure around to do long ground transportation without petroleum but it’s not necessarily going to be more efficient or convenient.
