It's amazing how much money is spent on research and development, and now the production of all electric vehicles to the market here in the United States. Yes, running vehicles of power is a way to curb our thirst for oil in the Middle East, especially in a time when nations like India and China have increased the demand, and we will walk through the supplies. In fact, the demand has exceeded the opportunity to explore new reserves.
Maybe we can finally get to a peak oil situation, and that means that price increases could shut down almost all industrialized countries from an economic perspective. However, it is really useful to transform all of our transport vehicles in all-electric or hybrid? I would suggest the answer is no, because all-electric vehicles also have other problems such as batteries. These batteries currently not last long for, and after 5-7 years they need to be replaced. We have nowhere to put these dead batteries, and our landfills do not need this kind of toxic waste.
But there is a significant problem and the other has to do with power generation in the United States, and the regulation we rely on coal-fired power plants. Also we will provide alternative energy subsidies is to increase the treble at the end of all electric prices, and I think that is within the next five years in electricity costs. Therefore, if you're unable to fill your electric car for three dollars for the power, this price will have nine dollars now. Yes, it is cheaper than fueling your car for 30 or $ 40 at four U.S. dollars per gallon, but it's still not cheap and it certainly is not free.
Why can not we skip electric cars and go directly to hydrogen cell? Well, there are several reasons, but one of the biggest problems is the fuel tanks that would hold the hydrogen, are simply not able to keep the hydrogen from leaking out. If you notice, hydrogen is number one on the periodic table, it is very small and it is done run out of almost any tank. However, we can solve this problem at the moment.
In fact, it was a very interesting article recently titled in Physorg online; "Scientists achieve breakthrough in nanocomposite for high-performance hydrogen storage" Posted on 13th March 2011. And just by the title of the article, you can understand why this is a huge game changer indeed.
Now it can be 5 to 6 years to bring these tanks on the market, but since we already have the fuel cell technology, maybe it's time to start looking at that instead of all-electric vehicles. Maybe it would be easier to use hydrogen to power our cars. Yes, I hope you will please consider all this.
Thank you for coming in Energy Efficiency Reviews and read the article about: Why are all electric cars now if hydrogen cell Feasibility is just around the corner? , help us to Shared this article. hopefully useful to us all.
