  • PHEVs and EVs: Plugging into a Lump of Coal [View article]
    The social challenge on nightime storage:

    Instead of storing power in massive cells/banks/Sodium/(in... your favourite technology) the option discussed is to keep it flowing through the grid to charge the cars in the market. That is a lot of EV/PHEV batteries (1.3 million charges (@16 kwh EV)per night from the Diablo situation discussed above).

    You need to eat an elephant one bite at a time, but if society all takes a little bite simultaneously, you can turn things around very quickly. It will take a social revolution to make it happen. The partisan positions in the USA make me doubt that this will happen, you need a leader to bring together the will and stir the masses.

    In other words, start now.

  • How PHEVs and EVs Will Sabotage America's Drive for Energy Independence [View article]
    Ethanol must move to cellulosic and other non-food sources.

    It is not sustainable to take your food source and instead of eating, using it to fuel your car...so you can go find something to eat.
