I agree we aren't there yet, but if we took the resources we were going to spend opening new oil fields and coal mines on battery technology research and general renewable energy resource we could get there a lot faster.
Sadly, there is just too much money and influence in the gas/oil/coal industry for that to happen right now, at least under our current administration.
