The Hindenberg was powered by 4 × Daimler-Benz DB 602 (LOF-6) DIESEL engines, 890 kW (1,200 hp) each.

Does it have something to do with the Hindenberg? A futuristic idea whose time has passed!

Or perhaps we're about to explore the vast hidden energy-sector potential of fairy dust?

Still a few bugs to iron out at the receiving end. You send a box of chocolates and somehow that unchewable Halloween candy shows up. Scotty hasn’t been born yet to work on it either. :)

What’s the weight and size of a battery that has the same stored energy as a gallon of kerosene?

What’s the weight and size of an electric motor that produces as much power as an equivalent-power gas-turbine engine?

I can remember back when it was possible to have an intelligent conversation with a bartender.

Innovations and inventions don't come from big government mandating what the market should do.

Truth be told, there is no "market" in socialism since the government is dictating what should be done.

As Milton Friedman, the fame economist used to say, "The great achievements of civilizations did not come from government bureaus. Einstein didn't construct his theory from a government bureaucrat. Henry Ford didn't revolutionize the automobile industry that way."

Free enterprise, capitalism and individual freedom are what sparks the creativity in society.

And yet AO-C and the other socialist democRATS and their Green New Deal are departing from these historical facts and will try to force innovation by government mandates to meet their climate change agenda. Just doesn't work that way.

Remember Obama and his electric car, the Chevy Volt? It died on the vine quickly because it wasn't developed using technology that was ready for prime time yet. Obama was trying to push an all-elective car economy before the technology was ready to produce what he wanted.

These comments by AO-C are not only imbecilic in their rationale, but tells us that she doesn't know sh*t from shinola about innovation, manufacturing and markets. The people she's talking to are as brain dead as she is.

AO-C is the new dumb blonde. There are already plenty of dumb AO-C memes on the internet. Her legacy will not be kind to her.

Does zero carbon plane mean no carbon in its materials or no carbon in the fuel tanks? Either one earns her the Noble science award. First bartender to win it.
