I am not a believer in that hydrocarbons are so damaging to the environment, but if this technology pans out, it could be interesting.

Interesting, but apparently the inventor has been labeled a scam artist.

Looks cool but how would it tow my #12,000 boat compared to my 6.7?

That and performance issues when it is -40C and you’re stuck on a highway for a couple of hours.

The Marxist Muslim carbon issue is merely an attack on the developed nations intended to level the playing field between haves and have not... In the name of equity.

The carbon cycle is as old as the planet. Co2 makes everything green and consumes even more

Yup, they are scam artists

The article says it is smaller than a lithium ion battery.

If I can’t be your salty dog, I won’t be no dog at all.

The first is easy for electric cars.
The second is another matter. Maybe, maybe not.

It is not “salt water” but a chemical mixture.

In a few years, they will have cars running on something called “gasoline”

From the article:

“But, you won’t have to worry about charging this electric vehicle up after every trip. Instead, it just needs to be filled with the company’s bi-ION electrolyte mixture....”

Ah there it is “the companies fuel”......and they conveniently left out THAT cost.

I’m guessing it’s a little more than $2.50 a gallon. 😏

Since, it’s just salts, I don’t think the cost is going to be that much.

However, the globalists are wanting to own the whole process. If this thing is real, I suspect that is who is funding it.

I agree. It’s just another wealth transfer program.

The original Model T had a lever oh the carburetor that would switch between gasoline and straight alcohol.
