I like to read a lot about the energy industry and its refreshing to read comments from people that are as optimistic as I am. it is nice to not read a comment about an article that just tells how bad an idea is. And I agree with you. on a different note, I really enjoyed the article. I hope that this is a phenomenal success and the rest of the world sees it unfold. Curt and Jim, I agree with both of you!

There are very many ways of how to appropriately store additional energy, but most of them lack in low efficiency rate or high prices. However, these problems are going to be solved soon by mass production and thousands of new human minds (scientists, engineers, technicians) working on these topics. Renewable energy sources are becoming more and more trendy. Very interesting problems, which is going to be solved very soon.

I just Stumbled it. Megan, the cars are not so expensive. Right now, a tiny electric car is being made ready for the Indian market and it costs about $2500. There are also $90,000 electric sports cars in the US that are like Ferrari's (in-expensive Ferrari's). There are things completely in between. Plug-in hybrid cars will cost about the same as regular hybrids when they are introduced (now, you have to buy a hybrid car and have it converted to a plug-in for about $20,000, but Toyota will have some of these cars at deals in a year or so). If there were a reason, like there is in Denmark, they could be provided faster and price would go down with quantity (assuming no shortage of batteries, anyway). There just isn't enough awareness or market in the US yet, but it is growing, with blogs and websites and clubs and legislation devoted to plug-in-hybrids and electric cars. What a great story.

that’s what already happened with the “”"”Google”"”" Lunar X Prize:
