It can also come from micro turbines running off of natural gas, mathene, sewer gas, etc...which Capstone makes too(they have a great product if you look into it)

many cities are now collecting sewer/landfill gas to turn into electricity....

These turbines can also use the waste heat for heating or a chiller for air conditioning

Have you ever priced a turbine engine?

Thank you for proving my point. Leftys latch onto these unrealistic technologies, and proclaim them to be the answer.

You seriously think we can collect enough energy from “sewer gases” to power electric cars? Seriously?

Natural gas is the only serious energy source in your list (another fossil fuel, btw.) Everything else is simple pie-in-the-sky stuff that people have been trying for DECADES. I remember articles from 40 years ago about getting methane gas from landfills, how far has that technology gone in 40 years? Not far.

Energy can’t be created by wishful thinking.
