Combine this with everyone going away from nuclear I don't understand why the electric cars are "cleaner"
Electric and hybrid is just a scam to get people to pay 10k more for the same size car. They want your money and nothing else matters.
Weight is less of an issue. An IC engine doesnt convert all the energy from its fuel to motion, a lot is wasted. So electric has the potential to be a lot more efficient. With the main problem being....batteries are shit.
Electric cars are only cleaner in the locality of the car itself. It just moves the pollution issue elsewhere, or to a different type of pollution..
Hybrids do have a place. They solve the range issues of battery cars, and they can also reduce the local emissions of the vehicle for short journey use. S quite simply they are more practical.....whether a great solution for any perceived problems or not is a different matter
but 2 strokes.....they've been hiding away for many years, so hard to know what has changed that might see them come back.
