Comment on How Fossil Fuel Disruptions Lead to Booms in Solar and Batteries
zd9@lemmy.world 5 days agoIt’s primarily a political issue at this point. While there will always be some need for fossil fuels, a decent majority of our transportation and manufacturing infrastructure can be electrified.

Assertions do not make a reality. Transportation is only a fraction of primary energy use, but even there: ship diesels burning bunker fuel and jets burning aviation kerosene have 40+ MJ/l energy density going for them. Prohibitive for air transport. Ships, look at energy density of sodium ion and the price point of a battery bank needed to cross an ocean.

Yes. You think it’s politics, while the issue is physics.
