Flex fuel plug in hybrids would help, and are on the horizon (the GEN 3 Prius for release in 2008 is rumored to have a plug-in option, ford has tested flexfuel plug in hybrids.)

Several electric car companies are achieving quantities of scale and should have vehicles in the 30-50 thousand dollar range with long-range and quick recharge (less than 10 minutes) by 2010.

Yeah in all our researching it seems like we're on the cusp of some major revolutions in renewable energy development and storage. As cliched as it is, where there's a will there's a way.

And it's just common sense to move towards renewables, really.

[madraven06]

Hmm. How are you going to fly airplanes with solar energy? For that matter, how will the 600 million cars running be fueled with alternative energies?

The dreamy new age music kind of seals the fate of this film.

[dcgforrizzle]

I agree the music choice could have been better - we kinda rushed to get this finished - but that's no reason to be so dismissive.

What would be the point of adopting renewable energy technology as long as those who monopolize the earth and claim the right to charge the rest of us for access to our own planet are allowed to continue their parasitic practice. All economists agree that improvement in technology results in the increase of land value and renewable energy would be no exception. The rich will get richer as a result of these good hearted measures. The disconnect between technology and economic justice trumps all.

[Rikiru]

Except that most of our plug-in electricity still comes from coal power plants. You're still burning coal to get your electricity for your Tesla. Though, if you got money for a Tesla, you should have money for a solar panel or wind turbine to charge your car off of :P

[DCaliffgli]

So tell me, what would you do to get people interested in renewable energy?

[DCaliffgli]

Very cool. I'd assume the most likely way to achieve this at this point is plugable hybrids, no? Or do you know of any other budding technologies that might be able to take advantage of such a solar-powered reality?

[REnergyEngineer28]

The above example shows it is technically feasable for Renewable Energies to power the entire US light truck and passanger car fleet.

If the Tesla drives 29 miles per day, 365 days per year, that amounts to 10,585 miles. At the average vehicular fuel consumption of 25 MPG that amounts to 423 gallons of gasoline. 423 gallons at 3.30 per gallon equals an annual cost of $1,398 operating cost per year for a gasoline vehicle.

Thus the $5,400 solar array compared to the costs of gasoline vehicle running cost has a simple payback of 3.9 years.
