In terms of environmental damage, how is this better than burning coal, oil, or buying power from the grid?
To charge your electric car.
I get it, we are going from 12 cylinder to 12 volt, but, we need to be realistic about it and its actual costs, actual and real enviromental impact and close attention to who's political agenda boxes we are ticking and the motivation behind it.
Solar energy is not without cost,cause and effect on the planet, its a small check on the list but far from any total solution.
All work/motation has enviromental impact unless we are all going to grab our extra bed sheets and make sales and attach them to our skateboards.
