Stellantis launches hydrogen plug-in hybrid van | Autocar

ICE makers seem to new a bridge so they don't have to ditch their engine plant investments.

It looks like the Chrysler name is fading from use as EVs because a reality.

Be cautious about assigning or denying causality. I saw the same data, and much of the CO2 rise could be caused by overshoot. Cold oceans absorb CO2, warm oceans bubble it off. Much of the cooling may be due to volcanic aerosols, with CO2 stored in the oceans. Reverse that process and you have atmospheric CO2 tracking behind warming.

Typical numbers for Volcanos are about 1% or less.

The math is pretty clear. We know about how much Coal + Oil + Gas we (humans) have burnt into the Air.

The increase in CO2 across the last 200 years is just about that.

Does not take Columbo to figure this one out.

Nice thing is that since we caused it, we can fix it. If only all life's problems were so easy.

First part is awareness and acceptance.

After recognizing one is in a hole, we can stop digging us deeper.

here are some details on Volcanos >>> Are Volcanoes or Humans Harder on the Atmosphere?

Why the Shipping Industry Is Betting Big on Ammonia

Ammonia engines and fuel cells could slash carbon emissions

Sounds like this is moving to application stage for shipping.

Anhydrous is a very hazardous substance. I drove into an ammonia leak at a cardboard plant once, and immediately went blind and started choking. I fortunately drove back out of the ammonia cloud before I died.

NO2 is also a major component of photochemical smog.

LoL...There's a reason they call it "political science"...!

remember..."science is the belief in the ignorance of experts"...

..."science is the belief in the ignorance of experts"...

What's the corollary to that? "Belief without evidence is the mark of the ignorant" ?

What's the corollary to that? "Belief without evidence is the mark of the ignorant" ?

It's not meant to be taken literally...!

The scientific world is constantly changing positions on any number of studies with previously held beliefs...
Usually (when there is no political pressure) science looks at data ("evidence") from every possible angle and standpoint...other times (like when there is political pressure) science comes up with ways to alter said data ("evidence"...(good word here))...to make the "science" look more like their beliefs...!

Nope.

It’s called faith.

To keep the battery power tool thread more focused on hand tools this thread can be for cars, trucks, tractors, etc that are here today and new ones of the future.

Huh.

 

[Frankenkubota]

Nope.

to quote mr clemons......close....

faith is the belief in something you know is not true

Solar Is Dirt-Cheap and About to Get Even More Powerful

By 2025 when EVs start to be a reality in the minds of many vehicle buyers due to their $$$ values a stand alone solar carport may be a reality and part of an affordable bundle. The solar advances mentioned in this article surprised me.

If they can import bikes like this for under $2500+ it should drive up EV sales in the USA and boost the future of India like it did for Japan 50+ years ago.

Ford Dealer Could Not Fix These Mach-E Issues, According To Owner

Do some people fail to understand buying an EV from from an EV start up like Ford makes one a beta tester? Have they not read stories from 2008 Tesla buyers?

The 100,00th Mach E that Ford builds should be out of beta. Give Ford 10 years and a trillion dollars they will be closer to where Tesla is today.

The time/experience thing takes more than $$$ to get passed.

When the dust settles unlike in Ford's EV past I expect they will not discontinue the Mach E. Ford knows if they take years to get the F-150 Lightning dependable it's lights OUT.

Come 2030 these new EV makers will be hitting on all cylinders.

Saw a Mach-E in town over the weekend. Not sure I like the looks.

Probably won't like the looks of this one, either (no one was seriously injured per report).
