And its clean energy! lol

 

That argument kills me every time. Don't get me wrong I'm all for the advancement of clean energy and I generally believe that EV is the way of the future, but we need to be dedicating money into new forms of energy storage not doubling down on lithium technology

 

That will be hitting me Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday.

 

at least he's using a high quality generator! Thats a Honda EU3000i, expensive but one of my favorite models i used to sell and service


Did you know it's possible to convert plastics back into a form of gasoline that can easily be run in carburetored engines?

 

Ima opt out of this one

 

I think clean energy will catch on for the grid, but you'll always have vehicles running on gas/diesel. EV's are just impractical in certain areas of the country where the grid support isnt there to warrant putting chargers everywhere.

 

Your form of clean energy




But it'll be mountain lions

 

That energy density tho. Mm mmmmm

 

I’m all about burning fossil fuels

 

Tell me about it!

 

My favorite idea is using excess wind turbine capacity to compress air into caverns. Aside from the mediocre efficiency, I'm sure nothing can go wrong with that plan.

 

There are fossil fuel alternatives that I really wanna see developed. Scientists have developed a form of algea that excrete a form of oil that can be synthesized into biodiesel

 

10 miles to compressed tank of cave air

 

Sounds expensive.

Im a fan of fossil fuels myself. Its cheap and gives a shitload of jobs.

 

Sure, but everything is expensive in the beginning.

If as a species we stopped worrying about money and started caring about our planet and each other in the same amount as we do "keeping an economy alive" we wouldn't be where we are today, we'd be much better off

 

Every car now makes either the sound of a pneumatic cutoff wheel, or a constant stream of ugga duggas

 

New age version of 2 stroke vs 4 stroke lol

 

Lets agree to disagree on that then.

 

Pretty much every energy technology we've invented has horrible side effects that get worse with scale. Either we figure out how to do better, or mother nature will slap us with the mother of all speeding tickets.
