But wouldn't it be so much fun to have a couple of quantum leaps in solar tech so that we could just tell the Arabs exactly what to do with their oil?
We are anyway, and they know it.
What would be really cool is solar tech on a car for sunny days, and then on cloudy days, you can pull it into the hydrogen station to fill 'er up with hydrogen produced from solar and wind plants. Completely renewable fuel for our cars.
With luck and research, maybe we can see something like that in 15 years, or even less.
