Aircela is targeting >50% end to end power efficiency. Since there is about 37kWh of energy in a gallon of gasoline we will require about 75kWh to make it. When we power our machines with standalone, off-grid, photovoltaic panels this will correspond to less than $1.50/gallon in energy cost.
Meanwhile, an electric vehicle could go hundreds of miles on the same amount of energy input…
Gasoline is a very high energy material. You can put it into anything (that works with gas) in seconds and store it for months.
Is this a perfect solution? No. But it’s technically possible to achieve carbon neutrality on an ICE vehicle with zero modification, you’ve just got ~50% loss on the solar you collected.
I don’t support her, I think she’s a self-interested opportunist and doing everything for the wrong reasons, and deep down she’s still a bigot and a grifter, but lately she’s actually had some reasonable takes. I find it mildly annoying whenever she says something I can agree with, but any fracturing of the maga base is a good thing in my view.
Of course, it’s mostly attributable to broken-clock syndrome, but strangely enough, that demonic look on her face has started to fade in recent photos. It’s almost as if breaking with maga is akin to having an exorcism. Weird…

First Magic: The Gathering, and now this. Have Republicans no shame?
What Republican reference is MTG?
Marjorie Taylor Greene - former(recently) GA House rep
I have never heard of her…but I don’t follow US politics either so that’s probably why.
Your life is better for it
