To the best of knowledge, the share of renewable energy in the U.S. in 2008 stood at approximately mere two percent, but now it is within sight of 11 percent. Maintaining the current pace, the U.S. could overtake EU members by 2020. As such, it's not that challenging. Plus, the U.S. is unbeatable in software tech that functions as a human brain and is fundamental to renewable energy, smart grid. 2. We won't have to wait for a breakthrough in battery technology. Tesla EV battery cost is expected to be at 1/3 of the existing price. If (Tesla's battery structure) works, we won't have to wait for a breakthrough in battery technology to develop a relatively cheap electric vehicle. It could be as low as one-third of the cost of batteries being developed by car makers, because (laptop) batteries are produced in massive volumes. Executive Vice President Takeshi Uchiyamada who heads Toyota's research and development claimed.
