Electric cars have come a long way. The technological breakthrough was made a long time ago, but it wasn’t until China got into the midstream game that prices have crashed. A bit like solar, where no one saw in 2012 where prices would go in 2020. I consult in the mining and energy industries, so am dealing with the data every day.
The cost savings on driving an EV are too great to ignore, even with the higher upfront purchase price.
The main challenge for EVs at the moment is charging infrastructure. I tried to get an electric for my next car but didn’t find the network satisfactory where I live.
Fusion power is a completely different ball game.
The physics of confining the plasma at millions of kelvin hasn’t quite yet been worked out. The basic technological challenge of controlled fusion needs to be overcome before we start talking about regulation and economics.
And far less money thrown at electric cars than what we need
The oil and gas industry treats the atmosphere as an open sewer and gets away with it.
There is only a single carbon capture project that is supposedly a success. Every other project has been a miserable failure including one in Western Australia where Chevron, having failed to cheat the tax office through dodgy transfer pricing, is now begging the govt to relax its condition of consent for the Gorgon LNG project. Read up about it.
