Remember, I'm not one of the doom-n-gloomers predicting the end of civilization. I *do* think that the era of cheap energy is over (until we develop fusion). Unfortunately that also means that the era of ever-cheaper transport is over. Not necessarily in my opinion. Two things need to happen: 1. New/better/cheaper ways of making electricity, e.g., fusion, solar, tidal, wind, whatever. 2. New/better battery technology with lighter weight, faster recharge and longer cycle life. These guys appear to be really on to something new with batteries: http://www.altairnano.com/markets_amps.html Since I've become a significant stockholder recently, let's hope it works out. I was on a conference call with senior management a week ago and was impressed with their expertise and business plan. I'd love to beta test some of those batteries on the boat but fat chance. :-) |
