Climate scientists - there are plenty of them out there being ignored or disregarded by mainstream media

Do that too. I prefer a multi pronged approach. That's good science

Good R&D practices eliminate non viable branches of research.
People will continue to do battery research, but until there is a major breakthrough,
in battery energy density, transport with battery power will be limited to a niche market of cars,
and some low duty cycle applications.
Because nature has already evolved a high energy density storage medium, a better approach is to pattern the
research along those paths.

Oh is that your non expert opinion in this area?

OK thanks. Lol

Actually much of my experience is in the energy sector, and R&D is at the root of the
scientific method, with the difference being you are trying to solve a real problem vs describing
a natural event.
The physics does not change with the application, we have a sustainable energy problem,
and the current best batteries lack several attributes to allow them to replace the energy we get from fossil fuels.
Energy density,
wikipedia energy density
Gasoline 12,888.9 Wh/kg
Lithium-ion battery 100.00–243.06 Wh/kg
Even counting a bad Carnot efficiency for IC engines (20%) gasoline still has 2,577.78 Wh/kg, over
ten times the energy density as the best batteries.
BTW the best hybrids have an efficiency of 40% so can extract 5,156 Wh/kg from gasoline.
I am not saying someone will not come up with a battery that will solve all the problems,
but it is a very steep hill to climb.
In the meantime carbon neutral fuels would put energy sustainability AND by default net zero CO2 emissions within our grasp.
Battery electric cars, will not!

I don't care who you think you are


You are not a recognized expert in this area in this forum


Your claim is dismissed

The difference is that you lack the qualifications to render an opinion.

I bring logic, and link supported reasoning to the discussion,
Tell us again what it is you contribute to the discussion?

I bring omniscience.

I think that wins. Lol

Since you hate this country you should move to Russia

I just hate what libtards are turning it into.

The USSA. I'll take the USA anyday over you guys' desire to change it to the USSA.

Why do you constantly try to knock people down? Do you have an inferiority complex making you feel better when you do so?

And you are just antagonizing people because you have no expertise to judge. I think its funny, because you just make yourself look really bad in doing so.
