That IS 1/2 of the "problem", other than oil, coal companies... Anyways Solar panels are the next part of the puzzle… Once they reach , oh, lets say 46% efficiency, wham, a huge step forwards... IMO. We/the world could dispense with practically every other form of energy, (dirty energy)...

30% or so ICE engines provide would end up a fail, at basically any price point...
