Considering they only generate energy at about 30% of their rated capacity(1), and early electric vehicles(2) like tesla model S can have 100Kwh batteries already, can anyone do the math for the quantity of windmills needed for the volume of cars on the road?

(1) due to unstable winds, minimum start up speeds, maximum outsput caps, and high speed termination to save them breaking.

(2) by early electric vehicles, I mean as battery tech evolves past lithium ion to contain more electrical energy, this question will be even more unrealistic and retarded.

I think the best long term play for this is to invest in companies that are working on battery recycling tech. Honestly electric shit really is getting better and battery density is increasing, I do think that it will overtake internal combustion engines. (i'm a gearhead and honestly this isn't a bad thing, modern IC vehicles are waaaaaay to complex for the home mechanic anyway, pollution also really is a problem in major cites ie: go to Delhi sometime it's gross. ) Look IC vehicles will always be around but like for most uses an electric vehicle can also be really good, don't discount them just becuase faggy hippies use them to virtue signal. Cleanliness and forward thinking is the way of a civilized person. Plus classic cars will still be around for fun just like horses are for people today. As to the future of energy, I think solar has better legs than wind since its more limited value. Energy transmission advancements will also change which one is more relevant as well as things like the tesla super batteries that support a renewable grid.
