We need some bare bone economic packages around retail $12,000.00 for e-vehicle (65 mile/hr for 80 miles range packages). Some universal interfaces for hardware so customers can add whatever components newly available to the package. Current close package design from industry giants is actually repeating the bad history of "Who killed the electric cars?" We must push for some hardware interface standards so to avoid technology hijacked by establishment gurus and/or financial giants.

When solar cells can be glued on a water pipe, water inside the pipe can cool off solar cells that is glued on the water pipe. When the water is hot enough and become hot steam, the steam can drive turbine. The turbine can pump water to a tank on high altitude while it generates electricity. When water spills from the high tank, it can drive another turbine to generate electricity while delivering itself to cities and farms.

Parabolic trough sunlight collection with water steam temperature solar cells on water pipe, simple 12 hrs scheduled sunlight tracking system. Every roof is a solar electricity cells. Except the slightly higher temperature tolerant for the solar cells, all are ready technology now-a-day.

1-28-2010, day after Obama's first state of the union speech. To end both wars we're mired in, and get out of the depression we're in, all he had to do was anounce, "The age of oil, and all other fossile fuel sources, is fast drawing to a close. Join me and the rest of the world; lets prepare for the renewable solar and wind energy age!" But Obama is wedded to what's easy, and is a political coward.

Bill Nye, I am 19 year old and I remember you from my childhood. Your are the best Science Video Guy ever. Sadly the mouse is not here with you.
