Interesting.....looks like a SOFC, like the Bloom Box. Runs on natural gas directly, so more efficient than trying to get hydrogen first, but as...
I don't see why your couldn't add a hybrid drivetrain. See my post above. I found that both Civic HF and Civic Hybrid have 13.2 gallon gasoline...
Not at all! You're forgetting the Civic Natural Gas has an unusually large CNG tank precisely because it doesn't have a gasoline tank.....it's the...
Haha.......:D no, what I meant was ........what if some manufacturer makes an appliance -the size of a freezer- that can make liquid natural gas...
Not quite an apples-to-apples comparison. Civic CNG can only run on CNG. No gasoline backup. Makes it very impractical for road trips, meaning...
Let's remember the FCX Clarity is a PEM fuel cell. I'm curious if anyone knows the price of SOFC fuel cells (such as the Bloom Box) compared to...
What if the fuel station has an small, on-site reformer? What if it receives the natural gas through the current, standard natural gas pipelines?...
Isn't there some sort of national fire code that prohibits in-home production of liquid fuels (liq. hydrogen, LNG)? If this is the case, that's...
EV's and PHEV's are great, they diversify your fuel supply away from foreign (~50%) towards domestic (99%) not to mention lower emissions. But...
After further reflection, consideration and deliberation, I think it would be a good idea for CA to make sure we have adequate CCGT capacity...
I think you misunderstood my post. I'm not saying CA shouldn't use CCGT, what I'm saying is that we shouldn't invest in new CCGT without fully...
(1) Peak Oil - despite fawning, brain-dead energy journalism, conventional oil production peaked about 2006, and unconventional oil is simply too...
I want to tie this in with the earlier comments re: solar They are a bit incompatible in the sense that the increase in solar capacity should make...
Austingreen, I'm standing by my statement that CA is making more progress in solar than TX is in wind. I never said CA has more installed solar...
I am sure CA is doing the math. Check it out: CleanTechnica | Clean Tech News & Views: Solar Energy News. Wind Energy News. EV News. &...
I'm a little confused by the part about raising regular rates to offset. I guess it depends on exactly how much daytime rates are raised by (and...
It becomes less efficient because of the voltage fluctuations; severe fluctuations can damage equipment. If the fluctuation can be managed, a...
Don't forget also, in an era of ever-rising gasoline prices, there will simply be more incentive to keep HEVs/PHEVs/EVs on the road longer...
Agreed. CA regs are to blame. Not going to defend those, but let's be clear about the chain of causation: (1) CA regulations prohibit market...
Again, I am simply not convinced that having your power generation located outside of your borders leads to blackouts. These are not foreign...
