So instead of filling up every week people could charge their cars at home and rarely if ever visit a gas station . That probably scares the bejesus out of big oil. That is probably one of the biggest conspiracy theories i believe in. There is big money at play holding back our advancement in to renewable energy. We have solar panels. We have electric vehicles. We can put excess energy back in to the grid. Why is it not more prevalent?
That is the entire point of R&D. It is possible that with improvement from new technology solar or some other form of alternative energy could pay off immediately.
Right now no pharmaceutical company knows how long it will take to develop a new wonder drug, but they keep investing in R&D anyway.
Hell im a supporter of nuclear power. Gas stations should be the next Blockbuster. Something better came along. Charging stations.
