Stop being intentionally obtuse.

This is exactly the response I get when I ask Climate Fearers who believe man can manipulate the climate. When I ask them the date or era in climate history they want to roll the climate back to, they fall silent in answer and say the time for arguing about climate models has past, because it is "settled science". This has happened in this very thread.

None of my statements or positions throughout this thread are in retrograde of not developing alternative solutions. I have many times suggested the best solution, in my opinion, is advancement of the series-hybrid architecture using a specifically developed ICE to supply on-board generation of electricity. The architecture would use a small EV battery that supplies high-demand power when required and absorbs regeneration energy. The ICE used can significantly improve on the efficiency of the combustion process by using higher thermal resistant materials, which reduce heat loss. The engine is not connected to the driven wheels in any sort of mechanical path so its design does not need to deal with the mechanical shock loads of an automotive drivetrain. Being the electrical transmission cables are very short because the electricity is generated on board, there is no electrical transmission loss (i.e. like there is in the national electrical grid). The ICE can run on any various combustible fuels and not regulated to hydrocarbon fuels. Best of all, most all of this technology exists or is easier to achieve desired developmental states than a lightweight energy-dense battery. More importantly, the series hybrid uses the current fuel distribution system for gasoline and diesel and doesn't cause grid stress until such time the electrical grid can be upsized to meet electrical demands of AI and data storage let alone mass EV adoption. Mass adoption of a series-hybrid architecture also does not disrupt the petrochemical industry, which plays a significant role in support of modern lifestyles enjoyed by billions of people living in the modern world. And best of all, cars are refueled in under 5 minutes and have no range loss dependent upon ambient temperature or other adverse weather conditions. The key to progression of such a vehicle is convincing the un-scientific masses (or at least those who read the internet) that the internal combustion engine is going to kill the planet. Apologies to the participants of this thread for my repetitive posts on the subject of the series hybrid.

Yes, interesting, especially because the Mach E needs to use the parking space to the right of the Tesla Charger, so charging a Mach E takes up 2 chargers. If I'm Model 3 and I'd have to wait 40 minutes for a Mach E to charge up blocking the only available charger, hummm, I'd be WTF.

Nah, just naturally acute. You just can't see it.

Im surprised this didn’t get more play here.
https://www.npr.org/2024/04/19/12458...celerator-soap Edit: i love this - “This is the second soap-related manufacturing process to make headlines this month. A Boeing supplier recently defended the use of Dawn dish soap as lubricant in assembling door seals in manufacturing jets like the one that lost a door mid-flight.” Last edited by murderspice; 04-20-2024 at 02:44 PM.. |

Further down on your link:
"Workers at the Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga, Tenn., have voted overwhelmingly to join the United Auto Workers, setting a new trajectory for labor unions in the American South" Hope the workers enjoy the UAW deduction on their paychecks so the local UAW leaders can ride around in new Cadillacs and enjoy their 3 Martini lunches. |
