(But we won't mention the fact that the pollution created and energy used in the manufacturing process which had gone into mining and making the lithium batteries will have a negative net sum pollution effect.) Same for electric cars. But fossil fuels is not the answer, we know that. What's left? Fuel Cell? Musk says that can never take off due to the huge logistical issues of infrastructure and creating/storing highly compressed hydrogen gas. Musk also said the energy gone into creating the compressed gas also creates more pollution than it saves.
So what else guys? Fred Flintstone cars?
Most of our energy consumption that -can- be reduced comes from heating and cooling our homes. Creating a bunch of fun power generating tech seems to be the solution to the problem, but the problem is that our homes..both individually, and collectively, are inefficient and made of poorly sourced materials. Solving -that- problem preempts the need to "solve" the other. Our community planning needs to be more intentional, and our home building needs to be far, far less shoddy. The way we build our homes, and how we live in them, is an embarrassment. We create problems for ourselves that were solved before the advent of electricity all in the name of convenience and roi on a pile of sticks.
