TheBreeze is spot on, vehicle technology and true plun in vehicles is where the next big move will be. Speedingpullet is also correct and it’s the combination that will solve the problem, not one thing alone. Both your posts reflected exactly how I think. AN, solar technology is advancing to solve the cost issue, in leaps and bounds. Residential solar is moving towards clear, spray on solar generation that is cheap, is not something bulky and heavy on the roof and cannot be seen (think thompsons water seal that generates electricity). Same tech can be mixed into vehicle paint, that is where I see it heading. It will be exciting over the next ten years to see who wins the “space race” of our time but the good thing is, at least the race is finally on.
SD, I’m with you, we aren’t environmentalists, we are economics geeks and we are spending our time learning about alternative fuels, that is indicative of the current change in attitude in this country.
