For George Shultz, former US secretary of state, clean energy is more than a policy issue. It’s personal. That’s one reason he drives an all-electric Nissan Leaf powered by solar panels on his home rooftop. “You’ve got to walk the talk,” says Shultz, who leads the Shultz-Stephenson Task Force on Energy Policy at Stanford’s Hoover Institution. He is particularly concerned about the impact of global warming on the lives of his great-grandchildren. “I’ve got to do what I can to see that they have a decent world,” he says.

maybe we should say cleanER energy since the electric is made with “dirty” sources including the power used to make millions of square yard of solar cells each year…so INDEED we are getting cleaner but only if LTFT nuc’s powered your air and train transport system….and the ships…In fact I don’t see any clean energy solutions for the entire transportation sector…solar is not the bridge to the future for energy.
thats an over 100,000 dollar setup you got there Mr George Shultz that’s about 38.46 years of gas for a $50 weekly fill-up, even doubling this would still take ~19 years to break even.
He’s part of the entrenched American elite. Not everyone can live this way.
Many, if not most people park their cars on the street
at night. Where are they going to plug their cars?
This model only works if you have a wealthy suburbanite.
It’s hilarious that George Schultz mentions the current Iranian president. I’m sure he knows, that the Saudi Monarchy, Chavez in Venezuela and other Gulf Arabs benefit far more from petro dollars than Iran. Pretty soon Iran will lose half of its global market.
Places like California, The Middle East etc could benefit by using more solar power (they have more sun hours than other places on earth). Countries like Canada, Scandinavian countries etc could benefit more by using water energy. In Sweden, where I live, we are using water energy solutions more for each year and I hope this trend continues. We do have a lot of sea waves to extract energy from, after all.
Nice one mate. People are stuck in now we need to think next.
