Comment on Can Flow Batteries Finally Beat Lithium?
ch00f@lemmy.world 6 months agoWhat I don’t get is how gasoline even has an infrastructure. It’s delivered by trucks. If you replace the manufacture and dispensing with new equpement, what infrastructure are you left with? Trucks?

It all relates to the density of energy in fuel.
Fossil fuel is so energy dense you can get away with pretty much any way to distribute/dispense.
Trucks and most importantly thousands of strategically located gas stations. Even if you distribute a different kind and less dense energy I would argue it still makes sense to have spread stations all over the place.
If we want to keep using our existing roads and highways we will need those stations even if they distribute something entirely different.
