As you observed elsewhere, batteries are a more fundamental problem.
At energy/power densities approaching hydrocarbon fuels they take on
the character of rocket propellants.

Rocket fuel of course.  You brought it up.
 
There is an old video clip where somebody asked Musk about hydrogen vs
electric, he replied electric no doubt.  I was just trying to find that
clip and post it for you, and only found dozens of videos from people
claiming Tesla is going to pivot to hydrogen fuel cells.

Alternate energy sources appeal most to those who understand them the
least. The only real solution is individual conservation but that answer
is unacceptable. I'll know the greenies are serious when I see their
laundry drying on clotheslines.
 

 
  Holy shit , does that mean we're "serious greenies" ? I think the
only item we use the dryer for is sheets/bedding , because the pollen
bothers my wife . Added bonus is that our clothes last a lot longer .

Well, folks can make good decisions sometimes for incidental reasons 8-)

Jim's fundamentally correct. I'd not call conservation "unacceptable",
but it surely is uncompetetive in the (very) near term.

I too favor clothslines over dryers, unless it's raining and I'm out
of clean socks.
