Ding ding! Tag team!
Not at all.
I have in mind technological innovation.
Things people thought were outlandish are becoming practical with every advance in manufacturing knowledge and know-how.
What happened to computer processors is equally applicable to cars.
The electrical power grid is becoming more and more strained as more and more coal fired power plants are decommissioned thanks to Obama’s War on Coal.
You’re not concerned aboit this?
It is the one of the most prolofic poisons known to man and the stuff is everywhere.
I found some in my lemonade this morning and it’s really disconcerting.
What is stopping you?
Bull. Carnot's Law is no respecter of geometry. Heat transfer is an equal-opportunity fool maker.
Not sure I understand the physics you are referring to...are you talking about batteries? combustion process? or ??
Remember we've been improving mobile IC engines for 130 years or so. Computers a much shorter time. The low hanging fruit is easier to pick.
Pretty much. When the price of gasoline was in its steep decline, I noticed the threshold of seeing Hummers back on the road was about $2.38 a gallon.
Batteries, engines.... they haven’t been improved for nearly a century.
But things are starting to look up.
Until recently, there was little economic incentive to dump the IC engine car.
Funny.
Smart investment is always about longterm, not short-term.
Have you ever seen that ‘Next Page’ link thingie on your FR screen?
Here are some of today’s:

I once fell into a river that was contaminated with DHMO. I almost died! You’d be more concerned if you had a similar experience. I couldn’t breathe!
The other guy didn’t get the joke and I don’t want to ruin hus day with a link to a site that aims to see it banned....for the children....
Bingo!
I almost choked on the stuff 30 minutes ago.
It was in my lemonade...
Now I know what it’s like to be waterboarded...
I have even heard that it is sometimes in drinking water! Can you imagine? Plain water! Scary stuff.
Yikes. That ain’t a new joke either. Oh well. Some guys you just have give em slack or spank em depending on your mood. I guess. I don’t know.
The funny part was I reading the article and breathed just as I swallowed my lemonade and in that moment, I knew....I just knee I had to get the word out...
Penn and Teller did get a fair number of people to sign a petition to ban it...
I think I get your point but your description of gasoline is misleading; gasoline is also an energy storage medium as it is refined from crude oil.
Hydrogen can be economically produced in many ways. The issue is storage. If Lithium-6 weren’t labeled a component of nuclear weaponry and banned from trade, Musk’s venture wouldn’t exist and there would be so subsidies to gripe about...
Fuel cell technology is an interim technology. More power to them (no pun intended), but do NOT promote it with subsidies.
