The transport solution is staring us in the face. We can simply implement pump storage on our cars. You can refill the tank in minutes at a pumping station and even collect energy from your gutters. Unlike solar cells, this system can capture and store energy when it is raining. No doubt macro could have a prototype running in a few days.
Don't know if the MPG of that design can match petrol Harrow.
The Perth to Geraldton trip could be solved with a new zig zag highway angled to allow upwind/downwind tacking in the prevailing SSWesters. Just an overnight trip to get there.
