I hope this doesn’t give GM an excuse to let the current powertrains rot on the vine. I need more power. C’mon, make one last new line of kickass V8s...

15 years, so I figure we'll see at least 2 more generations.

They want all these EV's but guess where all the stuff to get the batteries are, underground........   Bunch of stupid paper pushers that only do things because of their agenda. The US will

They’ll probably be OK with all the new ROWs they’ll need to put transmission lines in for all the new electric power they’ll need. Opposed to buried pipelines that all you see is grass. Talk about an

That's a fact with the new administration we now have.

GM backs away from hydrogen fuel-cell tech in passenger vehicles (greencarreports.com)

yeah everything is still in testing phase , but i don't belive they are backing out.  they are designing systems with no batteries for the military and commercial sector , and getting cost down before jumping in to consumer level.  Honda and Toyota are leading the way, GM just follows and sees what works and what doesn't

What a joke.....so typical, the "experts" have no clue as to what is reality. 

Gee, everyone else is doing it we better too. 

 

I'd like to know how "clean" these vehicles are if you 100% track them from birth to grave.

Hybrid i would believe. Need onboard fuel (gas) and it could actually be a nice setup. 

There's new types of internal combustion engines and electric drive motors on the horizon. 14 years in today's terms can imply vast technological changes. Will automotive keep up?? That's another question. 

 

What, building the charging infrastructure is no longer complicated or difficult in 14 years (easy), but does require a lot of metal.

Current H2 cars cost 3X per mile my current cost.

2X more for most drivers  

:)

 

So far compact cars with Rolls Royce prices.

 

 

 factored in the cost of cost/mile of burning Hydrogen as a fuel by itself and its just a waste  since its not a hydrocarbon, i'm not sure Hydrogen gets good milage unless you mix the fuel with a Hydrocarbon fuel to get the energy  density up higher.  Hydrogen has the fastest flame speed inside a cylinder so it mixes well with other liquid fuels.

 

our DI trucks I feel where designed around hydrogen injection technology , just add a port injector to spray a gas or diesel fuel into the mix and correct the timing closer to zero degrees and you got a real flex fuel vehicle.

If we don't get away from fossil fuels to travel across the face of the planet, we won't make it another 150 years.  We need full electric vehicles when we have fusion power plants, electrify the roads, there's your charger. I don't see it happening in any form for decades.

Earth has a water cycle. The exact same number of molecules of water are her today that were here when God created this planet. The term 'water shortage' does not describe a depletion of earths water volume. Rather a state in which the earths ability to recycle water to a life sustaining state in sufficient volume to satisfy mans needs has been exceeded. 

 

Earth has an Oxygen cycle where breath changes it to Carbon Dioxide and plants change it back to Oxygen.

Again it is about balance. 

 

Things get out of balance when GREED demands more from the system than the systems design will sustain.

 

Humans are good at disrupting balance.

Not so good at restoring it.

This is beyond human ability

GLobalist and Bankers are destroying the planet, not the humans.  These two groups are responsible for alot of the planets troubles. and the next Revolution will be AI and RObotics. so this means wiping out a large percentage of earth's population , since they wont need us anymore.

We may destroy ourselves. The earth will live on and say, next?

If we can terraform the planet by human action (assuming it's possible), we can buy ourselves perhaps another 500 million years of habitation. It's actually a very convenient truth, if true.

GM says no to carbon based fuels , will building materials be next? isn't there carbon or graphite in all lithium battery technology?  i can see the cost of our $30,000 pick ups will be heading into the $100,000 range along with increased deflation of the dollar. take care of what you got!

      5 Best Slide Down Gameplay Tips! 

      By lanaderay · Posted

      Are you playing Slide Down endlessly but your score is still low? Are you constantly crashing into obstacles as the game speed increases? Don't worry, this article will share 5 invaluable tips to help you master the race and impress your friends. Golden Rules 1. Look one step further. The mistake of 90% of new players is only staring at their character. The secret of experts is to look towards the top of the screen (where the slide is about to appear). This gives your brain an extra 0.5 - 1 second to process the situation and determine the direction of movement before the obstacle approaches. 2. Use gentle movements; don't swipe too hard. Slide Down is very sensitive. Moving your finger too forcefully or with excessive amplitude will cause your character to be thrown off course or crash into a wall. Practise moving your finger with small, decisive, and precise movements. 3. Don't be greedy for gold in dangerous locations. Gold coins are tempting for buying skins, but life is more important. If you see a gold coin right on the edge of a cliff or next to a spike trap, ignore it. Our goal is a High Score, and your score only increases if you survive. 4. Make the most of Power-ups. During the slide, you'll encounter items like Magnets (attract gold) or Shields (temporary invincibility). Never miss them! Especially the Shield, it's your "get out of jail free card" to help you get through those deadly fast sections. 5. Stay calm when speed peaks. When your score exceeds 500 or 1000, the game speed will be very fast. At this point, don't try to think logically; let your natural reflexes work. Take deep breaths and don't panic. Apply these 5 tips to your next game, and your leaderboard will surely improve dramatically. Good luck climbing the Slide Down leaderboard!

      Why I Recommend a Desiccant Air Dryer for Cleaner, Drier Compressed Air

      By lingyuair · Posted

      If you use compressed air regularly, one problem you cannot ignore is moisture. Water in the air line can cause rust, unstable air pressure, poor tool performance, and even damage to sensitive equipment. That is why I highly recommend using a desiccant air dryer. A desiccant air dryer is designed to remove moisture from compressed air by using drying materials such as activated alumina or molecular sieve. Compared with basic water separators, it can achieve much lower dew points, making it especially useful for applications that require dry and stable air. For workshops, painting systems, pneumatic tools, CNC machines, laser cutting equipment, and industrial production lines, a desiccant air dryer can make a big difference. It helps protect equipment, improve air quality, reduce maintenance costs, and extend the service life of the whole compressed air system. Another advantage is reliability. Many desiccant air dryers are built for continuous operation and can maintain stable drying performance even in demanding environments. For users who care about long-term efficiency and equipment protection, this is a smart investment. When choosing a desiccant air dryer, I suggest paying attention to air flow capacity, working pressure, dew point performance, regeneration method, and maintenance requirements. A good model should match your compressor system and actual air consumption. Overall, if moisture is causing problems in your compressed air system, a desiccant air dryer is definitely worth considering. It is practical, efficient, and highly useful for anyone who needs clean, dry, and reliable compressed air.

      My brand new 2007 Silverado's wax frame was rust from end to end partway through it's SECOND winter here in MA. That stuff is completely useless.

      I went another direction after losing a trailer tire, thanks to not being able to access air at ANY of the 5 gas stations and garages I stopped at prior, with a Toyota Tacoma onboard, 50 miles from the Canadian border. They were either out of order, access was blocked, or the hose a few feet too short and I couldn't get any closer without risking damage to someone's property.   https://postimg.cc/gallery/X5QJ55w

      I took a 12 second video on my iphone but the file is too big to upload. I will have to figure out how to extract the audio or just do another start with an audio recording.
