3 decades of spin has prevented people finding out about the genius of electrifying our energy and transport. For example, cars. Electric cars will not only be vastly more efficient, require almost no maintenance, have zero pollution or engine noise (our cities will be so quiet), have zero reliance upon foreign oil (meaning we will never again have to buy from the Middle East or elsewhere) and also perform much better in the acceleration sense than petrol or diesel cars. They'll also be one of the largest parts of the energy storage capacity of the country. We'll have 20 million mobile batteries. A car's batteries have much higher capacity than any home battery. You'll be able to use your car to both store surplus power from your own solar panels, and to power your home if needed.
