There are a lot of Elephants in the rooms right now regarding new forms of energy to replace fossil fuels .

So Greta has still some future ..
Another elephant for the future electrical transpiration future system we are told is coming ( whether aircraft or cars) is the cost of the batteries re-loading . Not only the Kw needed , but also the cost of setting up the recharge stations in sufficient numbers everywhere including the cabling / transportation required. This infrastructure will have a huge cost that will have to be passed on to the user..
