The success will not come if we "just," quote, unquote, fly around the world in a solar-powered airplane. No, the success will come if enough people are motivated to do exactly the same in their daily life, save energy, go to renewables. And this is possible.

It leaves 25 or 30 percent for oil, gas, coal, nuclear, or whatever. This is acceptable.
