Default Re: Renewable Energy

I have a feeling that the professors theory about meeting our transportation needs with wind energy relied upon the assumption that you could get the owners of all of America's trains, planes and automobiles to convert or replace their vehicles with electric powered ones. I'm not going to call this impossible, but I will call it difficult. I will also be very impressed the day a jumbo jet can be run coast-to-coast on only electric power. It is possible that we will see something like this in our lifetime. If so, I will be impressed - and happy.
