    I’ve been hearing a lot more interest in on site power generation, which would be nice except it will probably end up being natural gas.

      I keep hearing about micro nuclear reactors, and I hear there are some in testing in my general area (I’m in Utah, and I hear there are some projects in Wyoming and Idaho). So here’s hoping that’ll become a thing.

      Also, solar panels should work pretty well. I’m thinking:

      1. solar -> batteries -> hydrogen
      2. hydrogen -> trucks and recharging batteries

      So, basically like a massive UPS with some physical, local energy storage. Here’s hoping these will become practical in the near future.
