    “I’d put my money on the sun and solar energy to wait until oil and coal run out, before we tackle that” (Thomas Edison). Coal was developed in the mid 19 century, since then all used energy was renewable. The United States designed a graph of energy use up until 1990. It shows how gas, oil, and natural gas had the same importance in 1900 as played by solar and wind in 2010. In 1873, experiments with solar energy began to happen because the concerns of running out of coal were brought up. During…

    associated with lead pollution, lead/acid batteries also have the lowest energy density (compared to the batteries listed in Tables 1-4) because they use the largest mass of materials while offering the least amount of energy output. At 50 W· h/kg, a 25kW· h battery module would weigh 500kg (Gaines and Singh, 1996). The weight and inefficiency of the lead/acid batteries make them impractical to use and market as the main energy source of ZEVs. The technology to mass-produce lighter, longer…
