“The inefficiency is off the charts, the energy taken from traditional sources still emits pollution and there is no way to square all that with TD and call it a net gain over traditional gas/diesel..”
I agree with that of course. It’s a net loss... A big one. Like I said, a steam engine makes more sense.
There are thousands of ‘Steampunks” that would kill for real steam powered cars. Personally I’m more a “Dieselpunk” type of guy.
Interesting stuff actually!
