Reading some of the comments (but enough to get the gist of the kind of people drawn by the subject) is an IQ drain. I feel more stupid for having read them.
Without actually saying the words, these people favor owning nothing and the belief in unicorns. I have to wonder if their ignorance is infectious.
Talk about a target rich environment. There aren't as yet enough freedom pills for the coming Great Eradication.
90,000 Supertankers ? Hardly."As of 2007, the United States Central Intelligence Agency statistics count 4,295 oil tankers of 1,000 long tons deadweight (DWT) or greater worldwide.[68]"
IF 'they' gave a shit about CO2 they'd be building nuke plants, espcially LFTRs and going ballistic over the real polluters - China and India. That they're doing nothing of the kind tells you 100% this is a BS scam
Its currently diesel electic. The only working example, that I know of, where the mining equipment, or at least the massive ore haulers, are batter powered, is on a hill in Scotland. The road is steep enough for the earth movers to use their batteries to climb the hill fully loaded, and also fully recharge their batteries on the downhill trip. I don't know of any other location where this 'just works.' And I congratulate them for it because it means they don't have to buy diesel.
Mining Engineer here. There are shovels that are electric, have been for some decades now. That said, where do you suppose the electricity comes from to run em? Coal/diesel, etc. They are a gaffe to watch operate. It's like vacuuming your house and the cord constantly getting in the way, except it's a massive cord and operations have to stop to move it.
Surely, you mean that they climb empty on battery, then recharge while coasting downhill fully loaded, using regenerative braking. That sounds feasible.
Factories and industrial plants have used electric vehicles for 30 years or more. At 32*F the capacity drops off dramatically. Places with lots of hills and ramps also hurt for range. These were lead/acid batteries but at 30% the battery would just quit and not go any further. Gasoline does not have these limitations, if you were designing the ideal fuel it would be gasoline. ToMmY C.
The house of cards is based on the lie that carbon is wrong, that it causes global warming. That lie is hammered into the skull of everyone going to public school for at least 12 years. And we let it happen.
Does everyone notice, zero discussion of how those batteries will be charged/recharged, and the necessary expansion of capacity and robustness of the grid that will be required.
"This is why current battery tech is bad, why nextgen battery tech won't come out until you're bled dry, and your first step towards a solution:
ReplyDelete"Order your food from Hello Fresh."
The whiplash from "big battery is bad" to "order food from around the world and somebody else will deliver it" was very disconcerting.
And the narrator talks like a fag.
Hmm. You must have skipped over the part where one of the 'challenges' he compared EV's lithium to was the posession of firearms.
DeleteUp your MN. You sound like a closet fag. "food from around the worlld" get real. Please

I have to lmao when one - just ONE SUPERTANKER burning bunker oil creates as much pollution as 50 million IC cars.
DeleteConverting just 25 supertankers to LNG equates to removing ALL the pollution of every IC car on the planet.
**There are 90,000 supertankers in use today**
Going 100% EV is the definition of pissing into the wind if pollution reduction is the goal (it's not).
All by design.

DeleteI have a question:
ReplyDeleteIs all that heavy machinery that's shown mining cobalt/lithium powered by cobalt/lithium or by diesel?
Asking for a friend that has half a brain and an enquiring mind.

ReplyDeleteVery good. I emailed this link to everyone on my email list. Thank you for posting it.
ReplyDeleteAgain Clif High and electric batteries/cars.....

ReplyDeleteLithium is required as part of the fuel for for thermonuclear weapons. Basically, you hit lithium 6 with a neutron and you get tritium.

ReplyDeletePossibly the real elephant in the room.
