Price of oil is dropping...yet gas prices are rising...??!!
Don't get too excited about alternative energy prospects. Not only are the laws of physics non-negotiable, but the forces that be will make SURE anything that comes on mainstream will be MONOPOLIZED...see the increase in corn prices? Tied to Ethanol production(which is basically worthless "filler" to stretch out volume).
So if we go Solar to re-charge batteries for electric cars...a solar grid will NOW be...$10,000.
Look at the price of diesel...costs MUCH less to produce than gas(and they use a LOT of this stuff in industry), yet strangely enough, it costs about 50 cents MORE than a gallon of regular gas(Big-Oil did NOT want you to see any real savings in your MPG, so they took it out of your pocket right now).
I can ONLY imagine what a battery pack wil cost at the Toyota dealership when that Prius battery pack goes 86...half the cost of a car?

If you don't get more out of the system than you put in...that's a LOSS...regardless if it's solar, wind, etc. This is Physics 101...

photograph voltaic. electricity could be transmitted wirelessly and as there's a 24/7 extremely powerful source in area we are possibly to harness that capability. Even stephen hawkings suggested so.

The only renewable energy source that makes any sense is methane. We produce it in copius quantities each day. We just need to find a way to harness it to power our vehicles and to light our homes. Can you just imagine farting to offset global warming?

The point of alternative energy sources is not about you saving money but about diminishing pollution.

I think we should get rid of cars altogether, that will solve this problem.
