actually I disagree. while your right nothing is free we can get PRETTY DARNED CLOSE to free or at least less than what we spend now by a massive margin.

IT IS possible for us to build a $14,000 electric car with no subsidies. for a very modest around ($1200) you can put a grid tie in and enough solar panels on your garage to result in your NEVER having to pay a dime for any fuel to drive your electric car until such time as you need to replace those solar panels (30-40 years) or replace that battery (20-25 years for NIMH packs around 8-10 years for lithium)

if you do the math on that car loan with those solar panels that is shockingly scarily close to "free" as close as your gonna get without stealing it. this scares the living crap out of them.
