Musk has swatted people he disagreed with. He is the antithesis of a free speech absolutist.
You'll be shocked at how little hp you really need, provided there is enough torque. Even the most powerful tractor trailers max out at around 700 hp. And an FCEV can use a battery for auxiliary power.
It is hydrogen-electric.
Nuclear is really just metal in a big water tank. The cost comes from trying to maximize safety. It can be cheap if we mass produce it. People are pretty much engaging in special pleading every time they declare nuclear to be uneconomical.
If you really believe that, then you'd support nuclear power. It is extremely safe these days and is a much better option than to deal with more climate change. You want more options, not less options, in this fight.
A lot of this dives deep into wishful thinking territory. We will need to spend trillions of dollars to make a pure renewable energy solution viable. People will find out that nuclear is not magically guaranteed to be more expensive. If it wasn't the case, why are new nuclear reactors still being built and more are being planned?
Germany is definitely rethinking it's anti-nuclear position. Ignore the viewpoints of the current political group in charge. They are deeply unpopular. Politicians outside of that group are advocating for a return to nuclear.
France is keeping and building more reactors. This is not a "more complicated story." It is simple proof that nuclear is viable.
Just so we’re clear, it is cheap fossil fuels that made nuclear uneconomical. Solar and wind provide a very different type of power in comparison, and do not really compete against each other. There’s a reason why countries that abandoned nuclear are suddenly thinking about restarting nuclear again (see Germany). Meanwhile, countries that fully adopted nuclear (see France) are seeing no pressure to abandon it.
It has grown beyond the ability of one person to handle. We want to hope for the best, but must prepare for the worst.
Ernest has not been seen in a while. So no, there's basically no admin currently available.
Have you seen the steam stats? Very few people played this game.
All steps can approach 100% efficiency. It is not much different than how a battery car works.
Fuel cells have already been test to 30,000 hours in real world settings. We're easily looking at million+ miles in certain circumstances. This is plain Ludditism to think that reliability can't be achieved.

It's cheaper than putting a charge point on every parking spot, and far more convenient. It is no more dangerous than a gasoline station.
