- zardo 2y agoHydrogen isn't so great either.
- koverstreet 2y agoBut burning kerosene is much less efficient, and turbine engines have a much lower power density than electric motors, so knock 2/3rds off the the kerosene number. 550 Wh/L would also be for the first lithium sulfur batteries to market, they'll double that down the road.
