Not much time, a last quickie post before I return to the salt mine

A few quick notes, mostly about electric cars:

A few conclusions that I've reached, and I hope I remember it, is that you can't put an ammonia cracker on an electric alkaline fuel-cell powered car.  It's going to have to have a hydrogen tank only.  It will need no more than 4 of the 5 kilowatt hour fuel cell units, because they look too big to put more on board.  As for weight, I'm guessing that this set up will weigh less than an all battery system.  It should have batteries, but only a few kilowatts worth.

All of this may be moot if Elon Musk gets a network of superchargers set up that will solve the range problem of his battery powered cars.

Forgot to mention that Aronsson is challenging Musk in a cross country race with his own electric cars.  Musk won't accept that challenge, because he's afraid he may lose.  He can't afford a blow like that to his image.  Aronsson says he has won these races before.

One last thing--- our system doesn't seem to be about getting solutions to problems.  It seems to be about not getting solutions to problems.  That's a terrifying thought, but I'm afraid it's true.  It may well be that the only reason the computer industry was allowed to succeed was because it diverted attention away from our real situation by immersing us in an artificial reality.
