The Climate, Environment and Energy Thread

[Thryleon]

I generally agree that this seems a bit round about way to achieve greener energy for a net break even with different pollutants, but the one thing that battery and electricity and solar has over oil and petrol based technology, is the ability to power stuff in outer space.  I reckon thats the real push behind the technology going mainstream because we arent going to setup bases on the moon and mars without solar and batteries unless we go nuclear and even then you need water which isnt an abundant source.
