Many of the electric vehicles will be solar powered, within a decade not the distant future. Mine is already. Here is a quote from "MSNBC":
"Investors looking to get fabulously rich may want to place a few bets on solar cell and rechargeable battery technology. At least, that's one way to frame an onstage chat between U.S. Energy Secretary Steven Chu and billionaire Bill Gates at a recent energy innovation conference.
"A combination of breakthroughs in solar and battery technologies will allow them "to go viral in the same way that cellphones went viral not only in the developed world, but also in the developing world," Chu said at the annual summit of the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy."
Underestimating the speed of technology is a good way to lose money. We are nearing the age of cheap energy, the promise of nuclear energy to be delivered by the other kind of nuclear energy, solar. Even the Republicans with their oil backers cannot stop progress.
