Why is your thread so wide?"

.....................If I don't DP it goes sideways.
Have no idea. wide happens.

There are about 1 billion cars in the world. 6500 are nitrogen powered. Half of those are in California. That's .0000065% of all cars on earth. Dent in carbon footprint? Virtually immeasurable by me or anyone else's 40 digit calculator.
The zero emissions part is really neat. Making it happen is the problem unless the fuel can be produced cheaper and more plentiful than gasoline and someone can promise it will be available everywhere that gas or diesel is. Otherwise no mass populous would dare buy any of them. It's such a microscopic level now, replacing gas vehicles even to a single digit level will take 50 years.................. we're all gonna die by then anyway because of global warming and sea rise.
Is the h20 produced by those vehicles going to create moisture such as fog and clouds that will block sunlight or reflect sunlight or insulate the earth, causing "climate change" issues that we hadn't yet though of? .................all this assuming that nitrogen would some day become a substantial energy source? I don't have a clue.
There was fuel cell hoopla for heating homes 15 or 20 years ago. Those seemed kinda neat but they were extremely expensive. I'll have to look at those as I haven't heard mention of them for a long long time.

Nitrogen fueling stations in US.
As of January 25, 2018, there are 39 publicly available hydrogen stations for fueling fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in the United States—35 in California, 2 in South Carolina, and 2 in the Northeast. Another 29 public stations in California and 5 in the Northeast are planned.

I think that comes to one station for every 83 cars?

I called Shaw's tech line today to ask a couple questions about their waterproof carpet. I called twice, and waited 30 minutes each time and never talked to anyone.
Is that cartoon from a Shaw retailer?

Thats the way it was for electric car charging stations in the beginning too. Takes time.

Heard yesterday on the news....it took 52 acres of timber to provide the logs. I'm sure not all the timber was harvested, but that it took that much to find the logs they wanted.

Oregon has 17,000 EVs and 1250 charging stations. That's one station for every 13.6 cars.
How long have electric vehicles been around? Yea, yea....... build it and they will come. Gonna conserve? .......then go hybrid so you don't have to plan your life around "where's a charging station?" They are just expensive grocery getters unless you can afford a Tesla. Does the government subsidize an F-350 Super Duty? EV's ought to get weened off the nipple along with windmills and solar voltaics. They have this figured out now. It's not new science any longer.

They managed to revive some brain cells in pigs (but they made sure to use chemicals that would not allow them to become conscious).

Tesla has an app in the car that tells you the closest Tesla quick charge station and how many are being used plus how long the next station will be avaliable. Full charge 30 minutes i think.
You will also get charged extra for letting your car stay in the charge station after its fully charged.

The new cheaper Tesla charges for using their commercial charging stations. That is one way to recoup their losses.

My cousin has a full size Tesla and he told me he spends about $20 a day to charge it up. Where are the cost savings for these exotic battery cars?

Is that at home charging or out at a public charging station?

We only have 10 years according to all the smart people. Total waste of time.
