Alternatives to …
Alternatives to existing tech appears constantly based on completely different elements and structures. Companies that hold patents other than energy companies have no direct interest in oil. What energy companies do have only will slow down the process.

I believe that substituting one fuel for another in small vehicles is a mistake unless taken as a temporary measure.

Of course in some vehicles use of fuels is unavoidable, eg trains, aerospace, ships.

Also NiMH patent is done in 2015.

For my point of …
For my point of view E.E, dont give the seriously support for research and development in renewable energy. Too few jobs, too few research, too few implementation of renewable energy projects at most Countrys of E.E.
And the most negative that n is consider nuclear energy is consider clean! … E.E. must change politics because planet and economy need it. the party is over.

the problem is even …
the problem is even if we have enough energy to power all the buildings in the world, small energy consumptive items like cars would still have to use fossil or bio fuels. hydrogen power is inefficient, bio fuels can lead to further environmental degradation, and the multitude of battery patents held by GM, Exxon, and energy companies have crippled the future of the electric car.

As much renewables …
As much renewables as possible, the rest Nuclear. That’s always been my opinion on energy.

Oil and coal are far too usefull to waste on Energy.

Getting 20% of …
Getting 20% of estimated 2020 energy need from renewable (even excluding hydro) is ambitious, and will require massive investissement (and some clash with NIMBY’s) but I think it can be done.
What could be much more challenging is to get the rest, 80% from fossil fuel. That I think is almost unpossible, unless we send troops around the world to secure oil.
