Methanol hybrid cars finally show up

 

Whew!  After years of me promoting this as the only car that has physics, the Chinese finally make it.  Gods, they are slow!  

We are a winter country, and going into an ice age.  90% of our energy is distributed by pipelines, and the fantasy people want to flip that all to electrons running down wires.  Can't happen.  They are changing all our 1950 transformers to get 10% more electricity.  And we are needing a factor of 10.

Our new nuclear plants are a bit of a pickle.  I've been in the electricity biz all my life, and I know it is boutique, for robots and stuff.  Can't even be a mulching mower yet.  It's all a matter of power density, and energy distribution.

But this is my next car, if we even have cars any more.  Just call for the waymoo coming down the street.  Methanol has 10 times the energy density, comes from natgas, and goes down pipelines.  This car is using an engine, but a fuel cell is most likely in the future.

I'm expecting by then that the whole 'carbon' groupthink is gone by then, so we can have methanol.  The nutties still want to get rid of natgas, but wait for the coming winters.
