Thank you all for a very good update on where energy efficiency for vehicles is going - Timbo in Oz 22:06:38 11/19/14 (3)

some people have the best jobs! ;-) (nt) - mhardy6647 05:11:02 11/20/14 (1)

Indeed. - b.l.zeebub 06:52:43 11/20/14 (0)

Has Toyota really given up on EV? - jedrider 19:07:52 11/19/14 (0)

And where do mass quantities of hydrogen currently come from??? - Steve O 12:48:27 11/19/14 (13)

well, the most elegant source (besides interstellar) is electrolysis of water - mhardy6647 15:23:25 11/19/14 (11)

xylose is a carbohydrate -- so called due to the empirical formula (C(H2O))n - mhardy6647 13:45:38 11/20/14 (6)

ahhh! gotcha! Not sure which bug/enzyme, but I don't doubt it... - mhardy6647 11:35:23 11/22/14 (4)

yup - it produces CO2, so not exactly a panacea - mhardy6647 18:27:35 11/22/14 (2)

Yes it does but... - b.l.zeebub 04:05:06 11/23/14 (1)

When the winter gets dark enough I'll calculate the stoichiometry - mhardy6647 12:30:01 11/23/14 (0)

Yep, massive nuclear fusion is our salvation... - Steve O 16:24:31 11/19/14 (1)

I don't think controlled fusion is practical, full stop -- unfortunately - mhardy6647 17:01:22 11/19/14 (0)

I think hydrogen power only becomes practical - mhardy6647 09:03:07 11/19/14 (6)

"energy density" - b.l.zeebub 10:13:53 11/19/14 (5)

good point - mhardy6647 11:41:38 11/19/14 (0)

Didn't do any calcs... - YRY 11:17:58 11/19/14 (3)

'constantly venting H2 gas' - mhardy6647 11:43:23 11/19/14 (2)

You're mistaking H2 with SO2. ;-) * - b.l.zeebub 07:01:26 11/20/14 (1)

actually more like CH4 (which is odorless) and H2S (which ain't) :-) (nt) - mhardy6647 13:33:38 11/20/14 (0)

Yup, I'm old enough to remember when the pundits laughed at solar power. nt - tinear 09:30:29 11/19/14 (0)
