P.P.P.S. Does it seem stupid to anyone else that we have to refine the gasoline, pump it into a tank, out of a tank, into a truck, burn Diesel to deliver the gasoline to the station, pump it out of the truck into another tank, then out of that tank into a car to burn it? Electricity seems so much easier to deliver.
Well-to-wheel delivery and refinement of gasoline is an unbelievable feat that is taken for granted and I'm always amazed at how relatively cheap it is considering all that is involved. Economies of scale I guess.
Granted, electricity generation at a power plant is also a huge feat, but I agree the delivery is much less complicated and more efficient. Solar changes that dynamic considerably.
