Surprise — future electric cars will have on-board recharge. They will be mobile power plants, selling electricity or powering buildings when suitably parked. See Moving Beyond Oil at aesopinstitute.org

Hard-to believe new science and technology makes possible 24/7 cheap green energy. A Ford engine was converted to run without fuel as the first proof-of-concept.

Conversion of additional engines is in process. Engines designed to take advantage of the new science can be made largely of polymers using 3-D printing as there is no combustion.

Parking areas and structures will become multi-megawatt power plants.

The same basic technology can power trucks, buses, boats, ships and aircraft.

A few such breakthroughs are under development in poorly supported small firms across the planet. New science usually has taken a generation to gain acceptance. With climate change we can no longer afford that luxury.

The economic implications of the emerging technologies can stimulate the staggering global economy. This is low-cost power generation emerging.
It opens paths to large numbers of new jobs.

If we are wise, it will also open discussions of Second Incomes. The late Louis Kelso, inventor of the Employee Stock Ownership Plan — ESOP — used by 11,000 firms, also invented The Second Income Plan. See that heading under MORE on the same site. It can incorporate Universal Basic Incomes; sharply reduce inequality, and do so with no net cost to the treasury.

Electric cars lead the way.
