Yea, I agree. But what about the FACT that it's so much denser of an energy source than any battery we have? The straight up truth is that right now, unless there is so amazing innovation, we are going to use every drop. In the short term at least the world's militaries will burn as much oil as they can. Regardless of what you hear in press releases, major industry, military, aerospace will not move from oil until there is a performance reason, not ethical not cost reason to do so.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoBatteries aren’t an energy source, they’re an energy storage device.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoGuess what? We use oil as an energy storage device. So are you making the argument that fuel/oil is a battery or are you just being pedantic and don’t have a counter the truth that we’re going to use it all - the only question is over what time period.
- erikpukinskis 7y agoIf we introduce a carbon tax, militaries would have an economic incentive to reduce carbon, just like everyone else.
- SlowRobotAhead 7y agoYou believe that? You don’t know that the first exemption would be military and national security?
