The " truth" always lies somewhere in the middle.. Truth is the use of fossil fuels on planet earth has caused a lot of problems. Solar energy is a personal choice. Electric transportation is a personal choice. No government on this planet needs to get involved in this, unless they want to spearhead the Solar Revolution which is already happening regardless. Truth is 8 billion humans can choose for themselves without any of this crap including, tax slaves, war, pollution, cooperate greed, corruption, or any other form of human degradation. In a truly free world Efficiency & Sufficiency & Sustainability rules and nothing else. The world dependent on steam for electricity ended with the advent of the photovoltaic cell. A silent solar revolution has occurred along with electronic efficiency, until at last the whole human race upon this planet Earth can free itself from metered electricity if it so desires the technology is sound. Sad how most of the monetary richest humans on this planet just don't get it, maybe they should take a course from millions of already existing off grid habitats about the globe already? Just consider one thing If humans embraced EV technology on a global scale with PV highway transit charging every single gasoline station on the planet would disappear along with all the electricity it takes to operate them, not the mention the energy to build and maintain all these things as cities are ripping up more trees to build more with acres of combustion engine car lots everywhere. 80 percent of all things manufactured are built to support that failed combustion engine automobile industry upon this planet. Start counting the auto parts stores, gasoline stations, new & used gasoline car dealerships in your town... et cetera just to name a few. Now multiply that by all the towns in the world not to mention the cities. Takes a lot of electricity to power all these useless skyscrapers all over the planet where corporate leaders sit in their ivory towers figuring out new ways to get more profits from all this madness they have perpetrated upon this polluted planet.

We see a fusion power plant everyday, it is the safe distance fusion power plant that every single human being on earth can tap into now for all their electrical needs. This power plant is 93 million miles away yet can deliver electrical power for all human power cells for billions of years into the future, and guess what this power plant will not cost humanity a single dime. You can generate a trillion barrels of oil, just like you can mine tons of uranium but if no human being on earth is buying it you go out of business. That is what is happening as billions of humans hook up to unlimited ultimate solar instantly renewable electrical power.  Electricity is light! Most human beings on this planet live in homes with roofs.. We have the technology now to turn that roof into a electric dynamo.. Edison never had this neither did Tesla yet both of them dreamed that someday this might happen. We all are that day. Solar Power uses Tesla's AC and Edison's DC. The trick is it uses both right over your head self -sufficient without any meters and soon without even wires as a truly wireless world emerges.

Solar Energy Equals Freedom

" Wireless charging is already widely available for devices including smartphones and electric toothbrushes. In the EV sector, the technology simply works on a bigger scale. Reliant on inductive charging, electricity is transferred through one coil in the charger to another one in the car. Based on the principle of electromagnetic induction, wireless charging transmits electricity through the air as a magnetic field. This means power can be sent from one device to another without physical contact. " 

Wireless EV charging – a gimmick or a revolution?

Well, I could REALLY go off on this, but I will resist. 

The industry realizes that storage is the issue. A fuel by definition is storage with a release mechanism for energy. As independent storage become more and more available with higher and higher energy densities for electrons, the grid will morph away from non RE or finite energy resources. 

As for all the rest, it is ALL a function of currency. It is really that simple. You want all those issues to end or shrink to non relevance, move beyond currency.

As for the wealthy in our current structure, I don't think they have missed anything, except for our inevitable end.

Oh, and as for the whole "wireless thing", I would be careful. EMR (Particularly Microwave bands, but not exclusively) is most likely one of the major contributors to cancer and various other organic "malfunctions".

"Yes Electromagnetic radiation is sunlight,"

No.

Sunlight is in the EMR spectrum. Big difference.

All humans are animals. True.

All animals are human. No.

It is impossible to generate either a magnetic field or electric field using electricity without generating the other one. Its just Physics. 

Sunlight is on the EMR spectrum. Sure. SO are X-rays. Despite that "truth", I think you will agree that there is a slight difference between humans exposed to sunlight VS x-rays, or lets say Gama rays, another member of the EMR community. 

SO lets not obfuscate the details. Microwaves in our environment have increased over 1 million fold in the past 4 or 5 decades. Just "yesterday"'ish, 5G! More and more microwave energy. I don't see it going backwards anytime soon.

I love fiber optics and light. SO many benefits and EMP resistance. But as we know, light is easily blocked and does not bounce well as such.  The cancer relationship is already well known between the entire cell phone infrastructure and humans. Does it cause cancer? Yes. Does anyone care? No. No one will do anything about it because people do not want to give up the mobile convenience, and there is way too much profit in it.

But peoples attitude or business incentives does not change the causal reality. All that I am saying is lets not try and pile on any more EMR than we already have, and work towards reversing it.

After all, we can not have your Utopia if everyone is getting and dying of cancer can we....

Yes Electromagnetic radiation is sunlight, and we swim in this medium like fish, but if someone stays out in the stuff directly can cause harm, but yet a perfectly natural event.  People used to say the same about , Radio Waves. OMGosh our atmosphere is so full of stuff that can harm humans yet on top of all that people smoke all kinds of substances into their lungs.  "  Microwaves " will probably not be the medium in the future or even currently widespread power transmission unless probably  managed safely.  The world is seemingly going more towards light energy in the form of fiber optics,  electromagnetic radiation, and wireless WiFi  which uses radio waves (electromagnetic waves also ) PV Wireless  as well inductive charging.

Along the lines of this discussion is ANOTHER disappointment by the power companies and our government. What I'm referring to is BIOMASS ENERGY CONVERSION PLANTS.  Back in the day (the 60's) "Biomass" conjured up images of piles of cow dung, horse manure, vegetable leftovers, grass clippings and some dirt in a pile with a dome or tent structure over it to harvest the gasses emitted as the whole pile fermented.   BUT,  in today's world, hundreds of "Biomass Energy Conversion Plants" have been built and are in 24 hour a day operation. They are usually WELL OFF THE BEATEN PATH, with only a nice sign out at the road, to give people a warm fuzzy feeling. But if you drive down that road, past all the gates, guards and cameras, you will find a plant surrounded by ACRES AND ACRES OF PINE TREE TRUNKS STACKED 30 FEET HIGH.  If my info is correct, they burn something like 5 to 7 CORDS of wood per MINUTE, to generate electricity. Maybe my math isn't too good, but this sure seems to suggest that TENS OF THOUSANDS OF TREES are being harvested annually to make power by burning the wood. I thought WOOD FIRES were a major pollutant, but maybe I'm wrong. And wouldn't this process CONTRIBUTE to global warming? Seems like these power plants are a giant step backwards...  A penny for your thoughts....

The main objection to "burning" fuel that has its carbon sequestered in less than 100 years to the rear, is air pollution. Particulate matter from burning wood is very bad, on scale. Additionally there are other chems given off that are not a positive to our environment either. SO "renewable fuels worst side does not really come from the CO2 perspective, but from the pollution side. Allot of this wood they burn, has no other value to the market for one reason or another, so they think why not burn it for electricity to make some money.....
