I am still not a fan of battery technology with regards to transportation in its current state. nearly a half ton in weight to go less than three hundred miles, usually a lot less, in optimal conditions. Coupled with charge times that even the best are only down to an hour for a full charge.
the other initiatives he mentioned likely will get smacked by the WTO unless it morphs into some kind of environmental policy with ever changing rules about what is sustainable or not with regards to harvesting of crops. if anything it would require subsidies to nations who crops are deemed unacceptable.
