Separate names with a comma.
No reason you couldn't build an adapter instead of replacing the plug.
Only if you always drive at a constant, high speed. Only if the drive is constant. Traffic? Less output. Down-hill? Less output. Allowing...
A typical nuclear plant is way too big for that. Capacities are typically 250MW to above 1GW, and no one has yet built a battery system that's...
Yeah, it really is. Nuclear plants require a lot of grid services from other sources - much more than renewables do. That's one of many...
That's a simplistic view. If you're doing nothing but driving at 75MPH on the highway on flat ground, then yes. However, actual driving is much...
By the way, that's the fleet average, which includes all plants regardless of when they were installed. The average for installations 2014 and...
And that's one of the big down-sides to using nuclear. Plants used for load following have lower capacity factors depending on their cycle use....
No, as I've said about a dozen times in this thread, you need to use them in PHEVs.
Again, a fuel cell PHEV would have 1/10th the fuel cell and thus 1/10th the platinum, which could be as low as 1 gram per car. Calling the fuel...
Oh, but we do. As a fuel-cell supporter, I always claim the reason I am is because batteries stink. If we had inexpensive 1,000Wh/kg batteries...
Most of them, at light load (low current density). As I said, it's an IC plant.
No, I think you must have made that up. First, efficiency means something different with wind and solar. But by the way you worded that, I think...
Same with today's electricity. Doesn't mean it can't change. Fuel cells can get to nearly 80%. The natural gas IC power plant (100MW) near me...
Because it's less than half as efficient and can't be as easily generated from renewable sources.
Not if they're PHEVs!!! Nor should they have to. H2 doesn't have any reason to be expensive, and fuel cells don't have any reason to be less...
It's easily shot down by those who are either clueless or disingenuous like you. You failed to include, in your analysis above, the extra cost of...
Hydrogen can be produced cost-effectively at a wind farm, and it's even more cost effective if you combine its production with battery charging...
Are you seriously doubting what I said? Link
I actually did an entire study on that exact topic, and it works best when you combine both battery charging and H2 production.
It's very inexpensive to de-ionize water for H2 production. This is because it takes relatively little water to make a whole lot of H2.
