The same is true today when we attempt to use alternative energy sources to reformulate molecules into fuels.
Alternative fuels are very poor sources of energy; costly, unreliable, high maintenance, and require massive
government subsidies in order to exist. And the energy must be used as produced and cannot be stored for
later use, nor can the spigot be turned up to meet increased temporary demand.
Well sir, I understand far more than you might think. And nothing that I wrote is wrong.Yes e fuel is more expensive to create currently. But everything else you said there is wrong. This is not hydrogen powered cars, it is petrol, diesel, and any other fuel that is hydrocarbon chains. You need to understand this is the same stuff that is in your fuel tank today.
I never suggested e fuels were hydrogen, although as hydrocarbons they certainly contain hydrogen. I merely used the analogy of an inefficient conversion process as an example.
When you use inefficient alternative fuel energy to manufacture e fuels, the supply becomes uncertain and the price goes way up. Where is the advantage? Why not use the most efficient and inexpensive energy sources available? The natural energy sources created by nature called oil, gas, and coal.
Ah, there's the problem; idiotic governments who do not understand science and statistics and insist onIn a world where the governments are trying to remove ICE because of global warming a carbon neutral fuel source making all ICE cars cleaner than electric cars whether the owners believe the science or not, is a good thing.
forcing the public to accept very bad science for political purposes. The solution is to replace very stupid
governments with those who have functioning brain cells. Not Al Gore, lefties, and Greta derivatives.
Way off the mark. Cars, and trucks, and trains, and planes will survive the looney leftist attempts to rewrite science and economics.It means the people who don't believe or don't care can still have their toys and not be forced to visit them in museums. To use e fuel nothing needs to be done to the cars and trucks, even shipping and planes can run on e fuel, the transport system, the storage system, the retail systems all remain as they are today.
I am not a car people; I am a car guy. When we allow a government to prevent the use of petroleum products and force the conversion to inefficient alternatives, we become losers. The initiative to be supported is the removal of verySo as car people we can either support the initiative that will save our cars and racing, or give in to the government's desire to destroy ICE cars and go buy an electric scooter.
short sighted, foolish people from government. Let the marketplace do it's job. It works very, very well.
