"Also, by then, I hope we'll have a nice, efficient solar collection grid, so I don't have to pay ANYONE to charge my car."

You'll need about 5 football fields covered with solar cells and probably $50 million, plus a staff of engineers and technicians to make that dream come true.

It's a nice dream.

Actually, with current solar panel technology she could get'r done for about $60K, a few hippies and her back yard, but that will charge one vehicle, during the day.

Better to use the solar to run the house A/C and use coal to charge the car at night.

I'm not planning on providing electricity for a town. As with research on hybrid cars, research on solar power is growing, increasing both collection and storage capabilities.

Progress means going forward, not staying still and accepting what is, but making those "what ifs" into realities.
