Personally I’d like to see mass adoption of synthetic fuel made from the air for use cases where liquid fuel is the only practical solution. Like HIF Global’s plan to make synthetic fuel for about 8 USD per gallon (4.5 liters).

- pedalpete 4y agoThere is lots of research in this area, along with renewable jet fuels, hydrogen, and electric powered jets.
- collegeburner 4y agoyep gas is like 100 times more energy dense as lithium ion iirc so there's cases where it's just a better "battery". there's also a big carbon cost to replacing all the huge number of gas engines we have. so like what HIF Global wants to do using electricity to make gas can be a good solution.

- devoutsalsa 4y agoThanks for the correction. I missed that.
