I used to be excited about electric cars, but lately I've been wondering if it wouldn't be better to use the power source to manufacture fossil fuels using an environmental source of carbon and ship that to customers. That would make the fuel carbon neutral.
Because the world understands completely how to store and handle and deal with liquid fossil fuels.
- stcredzero 14y agoThere's also something elegant about the technology. If you compare the complexity and expense versus the energy density of a lithium-ion battery pack and a metal can, there's no comparison. However, in an ideal world, I would think that carbon neutral hydrocarbons would become a niche fuel for things like long haul trucks and bulldozers. (And for auxiliary space heaters in people's electric cars.)
