So you prefer the lower thermal efficiency and higher pollution rate of the Brayton cycle over the Otto cycle? Got it.

And yes, both jets and ICE cars can be powered thru greener methods such as algae-based biodiesel. Unfortunately, the top 13 strains (out of 250,000 strains) have been tied up via patents by oil companies after billions invested into research. There will always be a viable option for ICE.

This is why you don’t road trip with an EV

Ungoy

1/28/23 12:44am

Yep. That way everyone can buy two cars instead of just one. A realistic daily driver and a primping virtue one.

Coming to your town soon! Get in line while the getting is good.

Weren't 19% of new cars in california EVs. . .

Zoobieman

1/28/23 9:54am

A study last year concluded that CA would need a huge number of new power plants just to meet the EV need.

1/28/23 10:00am

Just use the CCS adapter and get on another network in California.

Nice to see people treat fossil fuels like the very finite resources they are.

I don’t care about the environment, I care about flying.

1/28/23 8:28am

No, you care about politics.

I actually do, I’ve only voted democrat once….

1/28/23 9:29am

You got any good articles on these bacterial strains? Would love to read them!

1/28/23 10:02am

I would recommend searching for Big Island (Hawaii) and BP, ExxonMobil and biodiesel to start.

1/28/23 10:10am

How’s that electricity being generated that they’re charging their car with?

Ungoy

1/28/23 6:22am

yeah, we can always find something to burn. We can’t power a Jet with coal….

1/28/23 8:34am

Yeah because it’s always political. Good day to you and good bye.

Ungoy

1/28/23 8:44am

That’s exactly it. If we left politics out of it I’d hope the discussion would

1/28/23 8:48am

The only one bringing politics into it is you.

Ungoy

1/28/23 8:53am

This whole thread is political! A social media post about EV owners being idiots

1/28/23 9:16am

If you want a legitimate discussion then get educated on energy sources, challenges and solutions for each thermodynamic

1/28/23 9:36am

The dude has a non-political point. EVs can run on any fuel source.

Zoobieman

1/28/23 8:58am

Read his posts again. He’s all about politics.

Ungoy

1/28/23 9:02am

Dude, I’m republican, I hate taxes, I

1/28/23 9:09am

Nobody on this thread brought up politics until you did. Fact.

Ungoy

1/28/23 9:23am

You deny the OP is political..

1/28/23 9:31am

I believe you’re the one pouting. Here’s your L. Have fun.

Ungoy

1/28/23 9:36am

Yes. I deny it. It was my post. My friends who make trips to Vegas constantly complain about the wait to recharge their

You guys got lucky. I know from experience every EV post on here is a

1/28/23 9:50am

So drop the politics and address the science. . . It really is that simple

Zoobieman

1/28/23 9:27am

The science is that our grid can’t sustain a mass switch to EVs

Ungoy

1/28/23 9:32am

The government will do what ever is politically expedient. If getting re-elected

How much coal getting burned up through Baker every day?

Squirt

1/28/23 6:05am

For CA: coal used to generate electricity both in state and imported is a whopping 9.7% of the total mix. So…not a lot.

1/28/23 8:35am

There's a big chunk of energy imports that's "unknown," so it's almost certainly higher than that though

Mike Honcho

1/28/23 8:43am

Who cares where energy comes from as long as we can always have it.

1/28/23 8:50am

Good thing we can generate electricity with infinite methods

GA_Coug

Baker California is mostly solar powered.

Zoobieman

1/28/23 8:59am

Comments suggest the wait is rather short.

1/28/23 7:46am

Shhh burnin oil is a conservative thing,

1/28/23 8:42am

I don’t drive an EV yet for several reasons. None of them are political.

Ungoy

1/28/23 9:18am

Correction - No EVs get the range their ICE counterparts have.

Zoobieman

1/28/23 9:39am

Everyone I know wants an EV. I think it’s funny there’s a “conservatives are

DiamondMo

1/28/23 9:43am

Interesting thing for me. I think a Tesla is better in the country, not city.

Zoobieman

1/28/23 10:08am

I agree, EV’s are only good commuters/every day cars. They can’t tow, I doubt

1/28/23 9:44am

Motortrend’s experience non Tesla cars was even worse.
