Derp, reading comprehension. Same reasoning applies though, albeit other processes doing the lifting.

- hwillis 9y agotectonic drift, specifically.
- woodandsteel 9y agoI wonder if someone could come up with a more direct way of converting tectonic drift into electricity. The total amount of energy available would be stupendous, but there seems to be a problem with it being low-density from being spread over such a large area.
- Pfhreak 9y agoBut that was going to happen anyways. Today, a dump truck spends energy going downhill by burning fuel and brakes that it doesn't need to if it's electric.

- ams6110 9y agoDoesn't expend much energy going downhill. Engine is probably idling and diesels idle efficiently. But, it's not recovering any energy, which is the big win with the electric truck.
