DannyTN's energy plan / War Prevention Guide

The bulk of the stimulus should go to finance nuclear plants so that we could convert to hydrogen in the event of another oil price shock. And hydrogen storage tanks, and car conversion kits. And in making both electric and fuel distribution grids more robust and less subject to disruption or terrorist attack.

Electrolysis from water to hydrogen, and its subsequent recombination are maybe ~60% each to be generous. Ltithium batteries have made good progress over the last decade. Lithium batteries, are ~90% efficient and are looking at a ~80% recharge in 5 minutes, some faster than that, a lifetime of thousands of charge/recharge cycles and a price in the hundreds of dollars per kilowatt hour. The future is likely PHEVs with a battery powered range of ~12 miles and recharging stations in most parking lots.
