Everything They Tell You About Solar Is Wrong - Travis Bradford

Alternative energies will have arrived when you routinely see them in every commercial and residential building designer's and architect's building plan. It will take the form of building coatings required by energy codes yet developed, utilizing a broader spectrum of light to improve efficiencies, capturing wind from it's vibrations produced not just huge turbines, storing the energy in many forms, and being connected to existing distribution grids to "feed" or "load" as needed. Storage is in itself a new industry. Roof systems on every new building need to be better developed to become local utility sources. We are only at the "Model T" stage for these products.

Once the resistance provided by existing capitalization and the industries supported and jobs provided by current technologies wains and their participation ensues, these new systems for capturing energy from renewable sources will really take off. Infrastructure is not only "Pipelines" and "High Voltage" distribution, but also the people trained around technologies that work in new building design that will bring the alternative energies to a reality. Its not going to happen in 10 years with out the "Man on the Moon" political will by government. Children being born today will be the engineers and designers transforming residential and commercial uses of these new technologies in the future.
