This is a major breakthrough, it sounds like.

This is silly but I dreamed of something like this. In the dream every car's roof was a solar panel-no more gas, pipes pulled water up from the ocean, took out the salt as it travelled up to Lake Mead and the head of the Colorado river, to be released.

Crazy dream, but I'm ready for all of that!
