The electric automobile will remain insignificant until battery technology
is greatly improved. I wouldn't put all my eggs in that basket.

No basket will hold all the eggs. Diversified energy production/use will be
the key, IMO.

Battery technology is still in the middle of a revolution. Check on what's
coming with nano-tech supercapacitors, too.


As for bio-diesel from algae, that was said about corn ethenol; we'll
see.

Indeed. But the yield/acre for oil algae is far more promising than corn
ethanol, which was never a good idea unless you are a corn farmer.
