A: Yes it will. Right now very little electricity is generated using foreign oil. That is not the source of our dependency. Our dependency comes from relying on foreign oil as a key source for home heating oil and gasoline. When low-cost, SUNRGI-generated energy proliferates, inexpensive electricity will encourage substitution of electrical for other energy sources electric furnaces can replace those that are now oil-fired, electric-powered cars can replace gasoline engines, and solar heating systems for homes, businesses and institutional customers can become widespread."
Should this become widespread, then of course most power will be generated over day. Hence it would be useful to recharge electric vehicles while parked at work during the day, rather than at home over night. Regards, Robin van Spaandonk The shrub is a plant.
