[QUOTE="vibrac, post: 123036, member: 60"] The whole petrol electric car senario is based on obsolete knowledge, geo politics and manufacturers that want to scrap perfectly good cars and reduce their workforce Since Petrol and other hydrocarbon fuels can now be made from carbon dioxide with the addition of solar energy at a price that rivals the pre covid prices for refined fuel (See Carbon Engineering Ltd) How any one (apart from a deluded nordic teenager) can think an electric car with batteries made from rare earths and the erection of a new electric infrastructure (imagine the costs in a street scenario) can be more environmentally friendly than the retention of existing cars and infrastructure by a technology that actually recycles its Co2 and whose implementation will improve the technology for sequestration as it is developed. I have not mentioned the effect on oil producing countries when any country with sunlight and air could start producing their own fuel or the desire of governments to make their populations less mobile and more traceable. There is more to this than appears on the surface. And I see Carbon Engineering has just had lots of shares bought by Petrol Companies:( [/QUOTE]
