@LunarOrbit and chemical storage of electricity is a dead end technology, it'll [b]never[/b] supersede the energy density of liquid fuel per weight/mass

@wildbill83 Thats why batteries on planes will never be efficient. As the energy is used, the batteries still weigh the same. Unlike a mass consumable fuel, the plane gets more efficient as it flies making far destinations reachable

@LunarOrbit trying to explain the physics & limitations of batteries to the "greenies" is about like trying to teach a toddler trigonometry & calculus...

@wildbill83 Yeah. Friend of mine bought an electric vehicle cause he wanted to save the world. I asked if he heats his house with electricity…which he quickly replied it was too expensive. Duh.
