Tesla truck running on diesel. Alot more to come

You might run out of wildlife in 6 months,
if tens of millions of hungry people try to do it.
Are you gonna hunt people then?
Drones and robots are not edible.

 

THE ANSWER Yes, heat is worse for car batteries than cold. Heat is the number one culprit behind car battery failure because high temperatures can evaporate your battery's vital fluids and weaken its charge.

Hydrogen efficiency?
Dual fuels ICE's (gas + diesel) efficiency?

 

Hydrogen less than Nat gas but could play a vital role in storage, I think Hydrogen is at ~40% for efficiency.
Gas + diesel would be less optimal than diesel alone efficiency wise.
Storage for renewables is the lynchpin due to the necesity of maintaining the grid's frequency
The future will be bright, but the order of operations is important along the path

 

You did better than me, my $300 self winding Seiko divers watch stoped winding after a couple of years. Tried fixing it a couple of times to no avail. So I gave up on watches and use the phone now haha.

 

I guess nothing like war to force creativity, both world wars have been very good for innovation. It seems many heads of the world have declared a type of war on climate, or carbon more so. Chucking money at a problem to fix it rather than wait around to see what happens perhaps is prudent. Scientist have been suggesting since the 70s more extremes in climate will occur, so perhaps 50 years watching is enough. The science can be read either way, but whether its economic to create EVs and jobs, or stop mass flooding, droughts, crop failure, fires whatever only time will tell.

 

I'm not really worried about running out at least 2/3 are sheep and will just follow into the cubicle to eat crickets and own nothing and be happy. There won't be much competition left for food and of the people that are left the majority will still rely on others to provide for them.

 

The end game has nothing to do with creating jobs and keeping people happy living the life we live now. The end game is getting 99% of people into population centers where they never leave there building or do anything, look up the renderings for the future city and the way they want people to live to "save" the environment

 

The primary driver of climate is temperature.
Temperature has three options:
1. Rise
2. Fall
3. Stay the same
It's not a thermostat we can control.
Staying the same is the most comfortable.
Rising is easier to survive than falling.

Creating arbitrary standards that doesn't have a meaningful impact on the primary driver of climate change but does limit the ability of the global population of people living in true poverty to harness the most efficient method of energy generation to catch up to modern civilization's standard of living (aka avoiding unnecessary suffering) is the thought process of insane egotistical cowards.

 

No redneck at all, and the world needs more scientist over ego driven entrepreneurs, through they are required also.

So are you suggesting green hydrogen for rail networks, and EVs in part or fully charged by renewable supply for 6x2 or 4x2 local dispatch from rail hubs? The use of semi is for places a train hub can't service or for remote locations?

We have a dogs breakfast version of that down here in part. Everyday/night hundreds of B doubles chow down 1lt per kilometre from Melbourne, Sydney, Brisbane, around 1800 kilometres (1100 mile). Many end up at depos in industrial estates or ports with a slow or disfunctional rail network near by. To have an efficient multi train rail network servicing hubs with 100+ carriages (trucks), 24/7 seems to me to be a no brainer. Be even better in my mind to be green powered.

Think its understandable however that jobs, convenience, consumption, cost of trucks for OO won out over maintaining a government funded national rail network, but think its a pretty poor decision over all.
