IAEA's estimate is that Nuclear fusion, if successfully researched and demonstrated at full capacity within 2036 at ITER (which is already lagging behind schedule) will result in commercial availability in 2050. So yes, we are still decades away from putting it to use.
Great skills, giving a tiny fraction of the budget to vaccine research during a global pandemic that halted the economy. I'm sure no one else would have thought of that.
Totally made up claim, the average passenger car age is 12.2 years in the US, and 12 years in Europe. BMW market share is 2.4% in the U.S., 6.7% in Europe. Similar figures for Mercedes are 2.5% U.S. vs. 5% Europe.
Yeah and what does that have to do with the Hydrogen being stored in gas form? The fuel cell converts it, it isn't a storage mechanism. Hydrogen has a boiling point of -253C, are you saying that Hydrogen powered cars are fitted with a power hungry cryo chamber to cool down the fuel to a liquid form?
They don't? When the Toyota hydrogen cars were introduced here around 2015, one of the issues were that a full tank of gas would dilute through the tank walls within a week. From the marketing material of the latest Toyota Mirai, it seems that they still use Hydrogen stored in gas form, boasting improvements in a 3-layer tank that is tested for 235% of the pressure that the gas is stored at, compared to 150% for regular gas containers.
That's because of the way it is.
It's a war crime.
It's almost like the point of these scenarios is fun escapism and isn't about perfectly simulating an apocalyptic wasteland down to the most mundane and uninteresting parts.
Also, they time travel past going to the shitter, sleeping, most of the journeys etc. So unrealistic that it's literally unwatchable.
Do you realize AirPods Max/iPhone is capped at AAC/256 kbps over BT, and needs DAC -> ADC -> DAC to use a wired connection?
