He didnt even go on wastes of making hydrogen. Electrolysis process is very inefficient and requires a ton of electricity to make a very tiny amount of hydrogen. From what i've seen about 180kWh of electricity for 1 gallon of hydrogen by weight

Then you have to compress it to absurd pressures or liquify it, both just as energy intensive as the production.

Yes, but you could also just make synthetic liquid fuels and use all our existing infrastructure to handle, store, and use the energy.

Or... and bear with me here, because this gets complicated: we could *not* do that thing, and instead throw hundreds of billions of dollars into research on subjects which is trendy and scores political points among people who don't understand physics, chemistry or math.

That would seem fairly impractical, were we not already conditioned to accept single-use plastic forks as ordinary. In a hypothetical world in which the supply of ancient fossilized algae is either depleted, or in which demand for it exceeds supply by such a large margin that it is prohibitively expensive, then our perspective on what is and is not practical might be different. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...e0e0fa68f2.png |

Sure, and I am all for throwing some money at scientists to develop future tech. Even stuff like H2 that is still too far off to be practical. My big issue with H2 right now is there is no good way to produce it easily other than SMR's, and that makes just as much carbon as buring the methane directly. And storage is a royal bitch. Well to wheels its more because of the extra equipment involved. https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...ec27c7d25.jpeg |

See you later, aerogator!

Did I do the 120v to 240v conversion correctly? Do you think I can get the full 40 amps? |

"Hoon modz" in days of yore...
