With out getting too "political". I am surprised that technology has
been so slow to come up with a cost effective alternative to oil. I did
see the video with the electric vanagon.
How possible is it to create a vanagon ( or any vehicle) that runs
almost exclusively on solar power? Is the problem the the price of
solar power?
If I'm not mistaken many houses are totally run on solar power.
