    Can electric vehicles have battery packs exchanged at gas stations?

    JIMGRAM Frightening! That two people (and I'm sure we're not the only two) could come up with the same concept and -- in some cases-- the same words/analogies! Seriously, you may want to consider therapy!:biggrin:

    Is Manufacturing the Key Challenge for Alternative Energy Compared to Oil?

    How far away do you (or anyone) think we are from space elevators. I understand the breakthrough has been made in carbon nano technology (disclaimer-- I am not an educated person-- please forgive me) that will allow the super light, super strong cables that are required. Store the waste until...

    Hello all. Forgive me, this has been piling up inside me for-- years. I tried a few other forums and no one can do anything but agree with me and express their equal ignorance. After reading quite a few post here, I think I may have found a group with the knowledge to answer my question...
