island911: "btw, have you ever designed a solar panel? Have you ever experimented with reversible (PEM) type fuel cells?
Do you think you are the only one to consider the latent costs of hydrocarbon fuels?"
------------
Hmm, well, I apologize for my tone, first off.
It's not lazy thinking if you're not in the industry.
I however, am in the industry as major investor and President of an alternative energy transporatation startup, and have spent the last 4 years reviewing oil alternatives.
The most 'mature' of these technologies is the battery area and within the next year, we are anticipating big breathroughs in lithium. Among our consultants are the folks who engineered the Gossmer Condor. We are associated with some of the pioneers in hydrogen fuel cell technology.
So, yes, I think oil is something the world can wean itself off of. And I think we'll all be better off for it.
