🤦♂️ imagine thinking this inefficient process is somehow good for the environment
The plant in Porsche's PoC was powered entirely by the single (albeit large) windmill on the compound. The single compound was able to produce 34,342 gallons annually, with Porsche claiming to be able to ramp that up to over 100 million annually. Multiply that by several windmill complexes aling the coast and you can simultaneously leave oil-based fuel while establishing energy independence.
Compare this with the strip mining and slavery involved with the precious metal mines for EVs, and I would 100% say this method is preferable.
Granted, this could all be bullshit fake and gay. But if the numbers are legit, I genuinely believe this is the solution.
Electric is more efficient than combustion in terms of energy consumption because coal powered steam turbines are sitting like 95% efficient while combustion engines are like 42% so green bs aside these efforts it will win market economics eventually. I think hydrogen is better than electric
the bottleneck with electric is the energy storage. While combustion engines are indeed way less efficient than electric motors, a tank of gas blows all batteries away in terms of potential energy storage.
Just 2,380,952 of these plants would be needed to provide 15 gallons of this fuel to 100 million per week.
