New all-solid sulfur-based battery outperforms lithium-ion technology

OK. Show me a practical fuel cell car with the performance, range, and cost of the present Tesla S.

You are soooo lazy and naive.. I gave you a post number for a S.Jose Merc article. Hyundai introduced a new model (last year). BMW has had sedans for many years.

Good enough for ya GoldiRocks? Kiss your batteries and Super-Sized Grid infrastructure good-bye. The market will solve these issues.

I have a nice buggy for sell. In the meantime, the rest of us will move on into the future.

Yes, the charging stations that Mr. Musk will put up will be connected toI the grid. And, when no one is charging, they will put power on the grid, and when several are charging, they will pull power off the grid. And, as others extend the range of their vehicles, they will adapt the type of plug in and charging system from Tesla, and use the Tesla stations.

what are they going to put power on the grid with ?

Follow the money being invested in feeding and improving the grid. Try to keep up. Nobody is going to let the lights go out. Too much money in keeping them on.

Of course much of what we need will come from just not throwing so much away.

Too bad we dithered so long and missed the window on not having to spend so much cleaning up after AGW.

"The market will solve these issues."

Truer words were never said. But it will based on the moving target of technological advancement and experience. Big bets are being placed, but it's a long race.

Damn. Now I can't lump you into that anti-capitalist, anti-technology eco-fraud mold I had you in.. Perhaps maybe you're salvagable.

All those BIG BETS will come of their own intrinsic value. We do not need to manufacture crisis or have the Govt go to Vegas to accomplish all that..

You bet better in Vegas when the money comes DIRECTLY out of your pocket willingly.
And your choices are based on MERIT not politics... ((Player on table 8 is shorting the black numbers.. That's not "fair")

Huuummmm, we have already manufactured the crises. I should say plural crises. Now we have to solve them.

Bush spent all of our money, maxed out the credit cards, got us into a permanent state of holy war, sent away many of our jobs, made our rich, richer, our poor poorer, made more poor from the middle class. and prevented a decade of progress on mankind's biggest issue, sustainable energy.

It's going to take a generation just to get back to where he started from.
 
I'm reconsidering liking you more -- right now..

Make that 2 generations after Obama and leftist revolutionaries are done with energy, and technology.

Given that you have proven your ignorance on every subject you have addressed, why should we consider your predictions?

I'll let our exchange on this page speak for itself.. That is --- if anyone gives a F$$$.
 
You can buy a Ford Focus EV. A Tesla S. A Leaf, and several other EV's. And I see EV's daily at present. I have seen only one hydrogen powered car, and it was a prototype, not a vehicle you could buy.

The fact is, at present, the EV's are here and being sold daily, the fuel cell vehicles are not.
 
Musk is going to build a multi-billion dollar factory for batteries. I am betting that the battery that he is building is not the same as we have in the present vehicles. He has opened his super charger patents to all, practically gaurnteeing the use of that tech by all the car and motorcycle companies.
 
Downside, other than people being optimistic with very little knowledge of this new battery, yes we know nothing, other than at the cost of Billions we may have a battery, which will need a brand new infrastructure to support charging. Trillions of dollars of tax money, spent on everything except on existing reservation hologram, technology that will give us growth, jobs, now. Not some new "maybe", in the future.

should we celebrate more government spending on dreams while the same government ignores our need for cheap energy now.

Yea, another battery, maybe. Excuse me while I attempt to pay my 500$ energy bill, government inflated energy bill.

Egad, I didn't realize that Musk was the government. You are about as dumb as Frankie Boy.
