What’s that? I couldn’t hear you over the nonstop greenwashing of gas cracking plants.

Cool! I kinda meant “can I buy the cells”, but if they’re being produced in car scales, it’ll probably be a yes pretty soon.


China is building a load of nuclear plants, it’s working very well for them and moving very quickly. They’re also building numerous solar farms and coal plants because they need whatever they can get.
Many places in Africa are doing great on Solar power, but they have requirements orders of magnitude lower than most western countries.
I don’t know much about Cuba.


I wish my country had one tenth of the balls Sweden has.


Exactly. India buys from Qatar. Qatar stops supplying, India starts buying from the US, just like us.


You can recycle catalytic converters though, that’s really not the big problem for combustion engines…


Much of Europe uses gas for heating their houses. Much of industry uses vast amounts of gas for heating all sorts of materials from asphalt to bread.


Are they? I haven’t really been able to find any being offered.


There’s really nothing wrong with generating hydrogen when power costs are negative.
Except that only happens like 500 hours a year.
And hydrogen will leak from any tank.
And it turns metal brittle.
And I wouldn’t trust my neighbor with a propane tank, let alone hydrogen.
And its nearly impossible to transport through existing infrastructure.
But other than that, its great!


Unfortunately, we don’t, because those take a long time to build and we keep putting it off.
And the other option requires batteries that take a long time to make, and we only just started on that.
Edit: why am I getting downvoted for complaining about how pretty much every western government isnt doing enough to transition to other power sources?
Well, that’s not surprising, since modern gasoline and car-diesel contains <10 ppm of sulfur, which is pretty much the realistic detection limit.
So, summary of this article: “Fuels that contain more than zero sulfur, contain more than sulfur than fuels that contain zero sulfur”
