Faux Fuel: Can Chemistry Save Internal Combustion? (caranddriver.com)

The short answer is no, not really, not on any scale.  I think batteries are the future.  No need to make electricity just to make synfuel when you can ship it directly to batteries.  Hydrogen makes more sense than this, and it doesn't make much sense to me.


Maybe in the future, like 2050, many homes will have PVs on the roof and a big battery in the house.

The Climate summit is so deathly important that our brain dead leader can't even make it through without dozing off.

Speaking of water hazards, playing in a tough guy outing this week for cash.   From the tips,  nasty pins, and a afternoon high of 50.  Morning temps are set to be about 30.    Tee off at 11.

Teams of 3 will play scramble format with another group of 3 (sixsomes).   Paramutuel betting,  skins, and payouts for top 3 teams.   

The way I'm playing this will just be fun.  I guess the only advantage I'm bringing to the team is having years of experience in playing in these conditions.    This is pretty much every HS golf tournament we had in the spring.

Kind of funny that Fro is so obsessed with this climate nonsense, as he has no interest in procreating, and as such no reason to give a crap at all about what happens to this planet after he's dead.

The actual projected rise in sea level by 2100 is about a meter, or less, nothing really THAT dramatic of course, but I've chatted with folks who think the Statue of Liberty will be under water, a movie or something.  Now a meter rise isn't a good thing with a storm surge at the wrong time.  But that's the outer limit of the projection based on business as usual.

Like every technical issue, this one also gets highly distorted by the media and what folks think they heard.

If you're looking to be scared there's better options out there than Global Warming or Climate Change.
