Electric car + solar is the future imho. Tesla Model 3 + Solarcity’s prices = cheap sustainable transport. Solarcity could sell electricity at same or lower cost than fossil fuel right now.
I’m in favor of this not because I think this will save the environment, but because the price has come down a lot
Government subsidies cannot hide the full cost of wind or solar power, they can only displace them.
Everyone should know that wind power is so costly that it is only a matter of time before wind turbines fall into disuse and disrepair. They will then be seen as the wasteful eyesore and dangers they really are. They will be like the abandoned strip mines of Appalachia and then the liberal clamor will be for government to subsidize proper decommissioning of abandoned wind turbines.
Lest anyone think we should become dependent upon solar power- PV cells will be instantly destroyed by any EMP attack. There is no way to protect them. For that reason alone, we must not generate too high a percent of our utility power from PV cells.
Last time I SWAGed the numbers, I figure installing a home solar charger for the car would cost about half the price of the car. Very reasonable.
