Of course e-mobility is not about street racing. However I find it interesting, that e-automobiles are not per se "weak" or whatever. See article. ~GD

I always hope the USA will build up a high speed train system like we have in Europe and Japan for decades now. But my hope is replacing short range air flight (where train can even be much faster because of long airport transit and boarding times). But this said: For long range travel like L.A. / N.Y.C. the airliner will ever be the fastest way and for this remaining long range flights better airliners are of course very helpful to protect our climate. Thumbs up! ~GD

~Deception alert~ I love "addicting info". Most of all I love their motto "believing fox news is like beliefing the onion". But that does not guarantee addicting info can not be deceived as well. And I love AUDI, the German automobile manufacurer with probably the best reliable cars of the world. But that does not mean I trust their management in everything.

And yesterday I found some jubilee news about "new e-diesel invented" that, after some rough calculations, appears to me as some rather low minded scam or let us say hoax.

Yes, they produce artificial diesel by electrical energy now - a few liters per day in a pilot prototype chemical plant. But efficiency is a disaster. After some rough calculations I came to the result, that at least 75% of all energy is wasted - in relation to simple electrical automobiles.

Addicting Info even got the equations wrong, when they wrote "Engineers also believe the efficiency of the fuel is at around 70 percent – compared to regular diesel’s mid-30’s."

Yes, this is true, but the 70% are the efficiency by which electricity is converted into diesel. The low 30% efficiency by which diesel is re-converted into mechanical energy still apply, leading to an overall efficiency of about 20%, while electrical batteries have at least 80%, incluging lossed by electrical transport, chargers etc.

So why does AUDI even support this insanity? My sad guess is: I think they only want to show some theoretical possibility to use still old fashioned diesel in the future, so they need not to change anything. They will use artificial e-diesel for real - in some 1% of their diesel cars, and 99% fossil based fuel still. this is not helpful, I think, but a distraction and it delays the only viable solution. battery driven e-automobiles by just another decade.

And it seems they even deceived the German minister in the picture. How sad.


More links and infos in my first comments.

Questions presented:
1) Did I make an error in my calculations? Please correct me, I would love to be wrong in this matter. Really.

2) Do you think even with a 75% energy loss it might be useful, converting electrical energy into diesel instead of charging batteries? Think about airtraffic, where weight matters much more than with cars. Do you think for future airflight artificial diesel might be helpful?

3) Have you thought about buying an electical car? Or an e-scooter like I have as my 2nd vessel? What do you think about pro and contra?

Exxon-Mobil is probably freaking out. Good.

I am advertising for high speed trains in the USA for at least a year, mostly because it is one of the most "luxurious" ways to save huge amounts of crude oil and CO2 release (the order of magnitude may reach a billion tons over the years), essentially a win-win-win project, delivering jobs, accelerating (!) travel for short and intermediate distances, still allowing usage of air traffic for long range travels (LA-NYC for example). But I got not much support from US citizens, some even complaining "not enough soil to build such a track", which appears a bit silly for an European in overcrowded Europe - let alone the first ever to use high speed trains, Japanese who live like canned sardines and still had soil enough to build this thing.

But very recently I found a link to an US project that supports high speed trains against - mostly republican, fossil fuel sponsored - opposition. And it is even more ambitious than my usual dreams of ONE main track along the east coast of the USA, which is most densely inhabited, pretty suitable for high speed train tracks.

Instead they want to build high speed trains across almost the whole USA, but still focussed on the relevant preconditions, like ommitting the almost uninhabited northern part of the midwest. So the project appears viable to me. Quotes:

------------------------

"The future is now, and it's in high speed rail!"

High speed rail = high tech jobs + big construction + real estate development + manufacturing + tourism + speedy efficient transportation for all

"High speed rail is good for our health, it is good for our climate, and it is good for our economy" Gina McCarthy, EPA Administrator



HIGH SPEED RAIL OPPOSITION:

"Not all HSR opposition is right-wing. But the right is the political home of HSR opposition." -Robert Cruickshank

"Conservatism seeks to preserve the status quo, which in the U.S. means oil, coal, suburbs, consumerism..." -David Roberts, Grist

"When it comes to high speed rail – a passenger rail project, popular in Europe, being built in California, backed by liberals like Barack Obama, touted for its benefits for the environment and the climate, intended to help reduce dependence on driving, and seen as threatening to an oil-based sprawl economy – it pushes all the right-wing’s buttons in ways that few other pieces of infrastructure can." -Robert Cruickshank
