Pumping oil with the sun. Huh?
One important thing here is that someone bothered to put a small amount of Solar
PV in the deserts of the American Southwest. Such installation, on a very wide
scale, could provide a significant percentage of the region's power, in my view.
Doubtless Chevron-Texaco has used its influence in arguing on such matters as
Alaskan Oil-Drilling, LNG importation and what-not. Have never heard a word out
of them about the importance of *seriously* expanding solar energy production in
the U.S. I wonder why not? Could it be because they want to keep solar down?
Note that C-T is part-owner of the company which makes the solar panels.
Chevron Texaco is also involved with the JV or Subsidiary of ECD, Ovonic, that
makes NiMH batteries and licenses the technology. Sorry for any inaccuracies, it
gets confusing. In any case, small wonder that the NiMh technology has not come
down more in price or found its way into more EVs.
