I think the department of energy seems to be the best site to read about stuff like that. dont listen to the crazy "the man is holding us back" people. it’s just that invention only comes with a major breakthrough, then technology platues for a while and more advances arent made until people are motivated enough to find them. the people that need to be motivated are the people who pay the scientist. and until the 70′s there was absolutely no need to do anything else. then only in the last 7-8 years have we realized just how destructive fossil fuel burning is on the planet. give it a few more years. we are just now optimising the technology we’ve been using.
