Now, I am not talking about that grown methanol but let's say people make solar thermal powerplants in Sahara where they use electricity to suck carbon from the air and take hydrogen from the water. Then they mix hydrogen and carbon and thus make ethanol that can run existing gasoline cars (with a little tweak), trucks and airplanes.
Otherwise, people should immediately stop flying, cut down on eating meat (like once a week), buy less, and stop using ocean freighters until they find a substitute for oil.
Are you fucking serious? How are farmers going to raise their crops/livestock? What are all the trains, trucks, freighters, etc. supposed to use for fuel? Electric air liners? Electric cars are never going to replace the internal combustion engine, not now, or in the future. No one wants them, or can afford to buy one. We don't have the infrastructure, and probably
never will for this fantasy.
Fossil fuels are going to be around for several more decades, and coal for even longer, we have hundreds' of years worth under the US.
The man-made climate emergency is a fucking lie.
Well, something is going to replace the internal combustion engine, one way or another. Unless you want it to be shanks mares, investing - right fucking now - in alternative energy is a pretty good idea.
No, the climate crisis isn’t a lie. You’re so silly.
