In a nut shell: how to switch to electric cars. Make recharge outlets ubiquiteous, at home, work, parcmeters, lamp posts. Further have battery switching stations in lieu of gas stations. Battery packs are owned by electricity selling outfit, analogy with cars/electricity and cell phones/paying plan, leading to the possibility to sell cars at heavy discounts in exchange for higher electricity tariff.

So, I also have those kind of ideas from time to time, like my plan for colonising space with structures weighing thousands of tonnes at a cost at least a magnitude of order five cheaper than the current price, i.e. its weight in gold; I'll make a slide show and put it on google docs someday, it involves NEOs and solar steam propulsion.

The difference is that Shimon Peres doesn't phone me and tells me -"Well, now what?" -"What, now what?" -"Now what we do to make that reality instead of just some speech?"
