Traction VS Hydraulic. Who is going to create the atomic bomb first?

The war between traction and hydraulic lifts is still on going. There are still the traction fans and from the other side the oily fans. In this conflict many weapons have been used from both sides. Advantages and disadvantages are being promoted or minimized depending on the side you are.
In this battle a new weapon appears. A weapon that may give the win to the one or the other side. It will be impossible for both sides to take advantage of this weapon. It will be so powerful that its use will mean the end of the war and the prevail of one side, in the same way the atomic bomb ended the World War II.
This weapon is called renewable power sources.
How renewable power sources are going to affect the future of traction and hydraulic lifts? Can both types of lifts use renewable sources of power? If they can not, how are they going to enter the new 'green' era?
All big multinational lift companies have chosen the MRL traction lift with PM motor technologies adopted. Smaller companies are using advanced hydraulic systems with hi-tech control for energy efficiency and better drive quality.
However neither side managed yet to use the benefits of renewable power sources and give the opponent the final strike. 
Let we suppose that a company that produces hydraulic lifts, finds a way somehow to use a very small system with renewable power sources and enters the market. The impact will be so severe to the big multinational traction lift companies that they will be forced to spend in very short time, billions of dollars in order to strike back and do not loose the game before it even starts.
On the other side if a big multinational traction lift company shows up with the same small system, then hydraulic industries will be unable to respond in the challenge and the game will soon come to an end.
This is the reason that many manufacturers adopted both types of lifts in order to make sure that they are on the winner side no matter who wins.

We believe that the war is coming to its end. It is time for the planet to have a technological piece. This can be only achieved when the benefit of the final users is under consideration and not only the shareholders profit. The technology has as a purpose to make our lives better, not to make the 0,1% of the population extremely rich.

From now on, whoever speaks about energy efficiency must give a measurement of this efficiency with the unit of renewable power sources. To put it bluntly the question is: "You have power efficiency? How much this costs to move with renewable power sources?
