Abstract

If we are to have electric transportation—I am not talking about golf carts here—we are going to have to grow the grid. To use electricity as a transportation fuel, we will need more electricity, and perhaps a national grid. While sustaining current uses, how much supplemental transportation energy would it be possible for such a grid to support?
