In the 90s I remember the feeling I got before the big Internet Bubble, I received the same feeling before the housing bubble. If I were to predict the next growth area it would be the "Green Energy Movement".

I BELIEVE THAT ELECTRIC CARS WITH SUPERIOR BATTERIES ARE THE FUTURE.

We can see that solar power, wind power and various forms of inertia power seem to be thriving and improving. The problem is that the energy is difficult and expensive to store for later use.

I've noticed that electric cars have a lot of power and that they are more efficient in their energy use. Electric cars are quiet, they can stop through use of negative charge rather than traditional breaks which leave break dust on your wheels and take so long to stop. In addition electric cars don't release harmful gases and they don't need to be as heavy. In addition, you don't need to have all those gas stations which are an inefficient use of time, of land and there is too much distribution ineffiicencies.

Companies like GM have invested heavily into Hydrogen power. I bet they must have oil industry stock holders because this is clearly an attempt to find another energy source that can be distributed through gas stations it seems to me.

When I look at Ethanol it seems it requires an enormous amount of energy to produce and to distribute. It just doesn't seem like the future.

Hybrids are great but they seem to be tied to our conventional thinking. They still need gas to be distributed, they are heavy and still require an inefficient engine.

To me, it seems that electric cars are the future and that they will utilize solar power, you can plug them up at home and with improvements in batteries you'd be able to store enough energy for driving long distances. In addition, power delivered to your home is much less costly per unit and is much more efficient use of energy transferance.

I would like to learn more about litium polymer batteries and other types of batteries. Why are Lithium Polymer batteries expensive? What would be a great battery company to invest in? I'm going to do research in other places as well but I'd love to hear what you think is the future for cars in the next 5 to 20 years.
