Our transportation should be 100% solar by now.
Global monopoly induced planetary demise.
Hydrogen power is a not a renewable resource.
Carbon power is not a renewable resource.
Petroleum power is not a renewable resource.
Solar is the only form of power that continues to hit us and our time to use it is limited by the length of existence of it’s source. Basically we are letting something shoot right past us, going to waste, while we continue to consume something we will never get back.
Solar cells could/should be stronger.
Imagine if Nasa was capable of producing enough wind energy to get lift off, purely on solar energy and some big ass fans. Instead of 4000000 gallons of petroleum.
Would we then be willing to fund space exploration? I think we would.
On an odd note, has anyone tried to test wind propulsion in space yet?
I know that in theory it shouldn’t work, but has it been tested? How often are theories wrong?
Nasa should have worked on Increasing the amount of energy created from solar power, long ago. Space travel would most likely be a lot further along by now. Actually I am certan it would be. Flight would be further along. If lift off could be created solar energy strong enough to leave orbit, then imagine how airplanes would be moving by now. Instead they blast so much fuel just in take off.
We need to fix this. This isn’t a future thing. This is a now thing that should be fixed now. It has to be fixed now.
