Pacific Gas and Electric partnered for 20 years to buy all power from new company. The sun's energy heats liquids turned into steam and drives turbines and generators. This effort hopes to reduce carbon footprint which California is attempting to do.
As DanielP mentioned, desperation will drive technological advances. Perhaps steam driven vehicles will be apart of the future also. Lets hope we can keep from hamstringing future generations with our consumption, greed and short sightedness. Here's hoping.
