I think the steam engine will stage a comeback once oil becomes scarce. cn

Ah, so. There are several approaches, that could kick butt over electric cars today.

'Course, not yor granpappy's, neither. The British Stream Car. Looking to break the sound barrier.

Do you subscribe to peak oil?

Not with any passion. Cheap oil is a plainly limited resource however. I advocate saving it for the chemical manufacture industry, for which it is the nonpareil feedstock. cn

It takes more energy to grow the silicon for solar panels than they can recover. The nano versions, I'm not sure. Hemp is the actual answer.

who grows silicon?

The monocrystals for semiconductors are grown. The process is named Czochralski in recognition of Jan C., the Polish scientist who pioneered it. cn

Solar panels today reflect the energy subsidy of cheap fossil fuel. But, hemp? How to power transport using it ... trains, ships, aircraft? There are better oil crops, and even those are not so good. cn
