Yep, alternatively fueled vehicles will crush Russia, usher in utopia and save the Earth from climate change and overpopulation, all in one fell swoop, and that’s not considering the renewable energy grid and solar powered aircraft. The efficiency of it all together staggers me.

I think the climate biz is bogus except that it forces the other stuff.
As to efficiency—the real deal won’t come until 4th generation nuclear comes online which promises to cut energy costs by 1/2 to 1/10 current costs. That’s the real revolution. Renewables even when they mature—right now don’t promise to bend down cost curves significantly.
Big Climate is indeed bogus, as is Big Renewable, and Big Alternative.
All that crap is crony capitalist, Fascist, taxpayer funded subsidy and tax rebate on zero tax paid scams. Almost none of it (except nuclear) will ever be economically competitive, and will be sold at the point of a gun.
Remember, China is the one that has already cornered Rare Earth reserves and significant mineral reserves worldwide, and Russia controls theirs and much of Eastern Europe's reserves.
Russia has serious problems (some of their own making) and serious opposition, but alternative fuel crapola will hurt the West more than Russia.
