I think these exercises are very interesting, thanks for your original post. I guess my real point is that all these "new" tech ideas are all just old tecnologies that couldn't compete with gasoline or coal. I'm all for private research though.

Interestingly I just read on AutoGreen that in states like California the electric miles of a Chev Volt cost more than the gasoline miles.






Not only is it more expensive in a lot of places, it is also not as "green" in a lot of places. In states where the major source of electricity is coal burning power plants electric cars are worse for the environment then gas.




Most of the "greenies" are more concerned with the end result (using electricity or hydrogen) than with the entire process (cost or enviromental impact) of creating hydrogen, electricity or bio-fuels.
