[QUOTE="leftrightleftrightleft, post: 62563292, member: 246343"] I read an article in a science magazine (Scientific American?) that had a hypothetical situation where you cover a large area of the Sahara in solar panels and it would still only give enough power for Europe. To power the United States on solar would involve covering a large chunk of the land area in solar panels which would cost trillions of initial installation plus trillions in upkeep, plus loss of agricultural land and wildlife territory. As to your original post. It would be nice to get rid of the ICE but I feel like a more effective use of our time is investing in effective and efficient mass transit and cutting down on suburban sprawl. If everyone took transit to work and walked to get their groceries, that would cut down on fossil fuels in a big way. [/QUOTE]
