Re: Batteries not included
Which is why it is completely idiotic and assinine that republicans and many republican voters are so against green energy. This is the future, and the improvements of solar has shown. ANd there is a lot more. We need to be pouring money into it. Instead Republicans apparently like taking it in the A from the oil and gas industry while they destroy the environment, when there are much better sources of energy
We lead the pack on research, it will be American businesses dominating the market, not Chinese companies
The planet needs a good epidemic, a culling of the herd. As bad as that would be, in the long run probably be good
You are not understanding the market conditions.
These technologies will become viable, when the market says that this is the path to greater profits.
Let's say for example Exxon already has all the bugs worked out, but knows the finished fuel product will
cost say $3.50 per gallon to sell at a profit, but fuel from oil is only $2.25 per gallon, some sales but not wide spread buy in.
If in say 5 years, oil has increased to say $95 a barrel, the resulting fuel from oil will be $3.75 per gallon,
while the man made stuff has come down a little in price to sat $3.40 because of the expanding supply of surplus solar energy.
Both products may still be at the pump, but which one will the masses buy?
The Navy identified a sort of limitation on man made fuels, they can only make high octane.
From the refineries perspective, they can ether buy their feedstock for $95 a barrel, or make the equivalent
fuel that that barrel would have made for $90, I have an idea which one they will pick.
