I agree. Alternative energy sources seem like a smart move. Aside from running out of oil someday, alternatives could have far reaching future positives. First thing that comes to mind is space exploration. Youโre not getting humans out of the solar system on current liquid fuel sources.
Presently, much of the worldโs oil comes from a very disputed region of the world. Viable, low cost, mass produced sources would probably have an impact on conflicts in that region.
