NON CAR information, but perhaps relevant to electric cars.

This is a company who's CEO I was able to hear in person talk about energy. There are several tests being conducted as we speak, and also some utilities are having them build test beds. The thing that caught my ear in his speech is that with a solar farm just 100x100 miles out in the Southwest desert, it would supply 100% of our energy in the US. Of course we would still have other sources for the nights, etc but most of our peak demand is in the day. Also he said if we covered just 2% of the worlds deserts, they could supply 100% of the worlds energy. Then I could run my electic car without feeling guilty.
