So you are both pinning your hopes on some science fiction pipe dream, when Thorium fission has been demonstrated since 1957. I don't know why I put up with this place. 
I find nothing in the post about this climate change theory you espouse. Electric vehicles came first. And Wally Byam did something about it.
Hawley Bolus did something about it.
If it triples or quadruples the price you are doing it wrong. If it increases instead of decreases the drag you are doing it wrong. Make the horses lay down for the trip. Sedate them if needed. |
I expect the future to be better because technology pretty much always advances. As I've stated elsewhere, I'm notoriously bad and predicting which technology wins out in the future, or how quickly it's adopted. Most people who make correct predictions are simply lucky guessers. A true prediction would explain in detail exactly how some condition in the future comes about, and provides an accurate time frame for all of those pieces. That's the reason why central planning doesn't work; because no single person or small group is capable of optimizing for the future.
I too found the claim that we invented EVs because of climate change to be laughable, as if humanity invented electricity and the light bulb because whales were becoming scarce.
Funny, just after my last post I was envisioning a single horse trailer where the horse was forced to lay down, head first so the cover could taper towards the rear. Why not just section the horse so it stacks nicely on a Harbor Freight trailer and fits in the wake of the vehicle? Anything for The Environment
as if there ever was just 1 environment to consider.
