That is so frustrating. So many links in that article. All to Fast Company and not anything actually useful like a source. Mark Z. Jacobson and Mark Delucchi, the two authors, have been publishing about this topic for more than two years. Here is the pop science writeup in Scientific American from 2009 (PDF): http://www.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/sad1109Jaco5p.indd.pdf http://www.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/sad11... The considerably wonkier paper, published in Energy Policy this year (two parts, PDFs): http://www.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/JDEnPolicyPt1.pdf http://www.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/JDEnP...; http://www.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/DJEnPolicyPt2.pdf http://www.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/DJEnP... Here is a page collecting everything Mark Z. Anderson published or said about the topic: http://www.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/susenergy2030.html http://www.stanford.edu/group/efmh/jacobson/Articles/I/susen... That should hopefully reduce the amount handwaving involved.
