When Will the Auto Industry Reach a "Better Place"? [View article]
Compare the energy density of CNG vs. Gasoline (or any other highly touted "alternative" fuel) and you'll quickly see why there is no rush to adoption.
Electric stations were built all over CA the last time the electric car was going to revolutionize transportation. What happened to those?
So, let me see, it would take 3x the quantity of CNG to get a vehicle the same distance as gasoline. Now compare the prices and cost.
After the $4K you'll spend on your garage refueling station, you'll also have to pay for the electricity to run it.
Now that I've mentioned electricity, let's talk about the overstressed power grid we keep hearing about. How will all these electric cars and garage refueling stations affect that? What are the power providers using to create that electricity anyway? (burning fossil fuels maybe?).
If your proposed solutions were 'real' solutions, they would have already been adopted. The truth is that no alternative is as efficient or cost-effective as gasoline or diesel to propel a vehicle down the road. There's your sign.
