Will this cause a knock on effect?

[Bobby Dazzler]

Imagine that 100 years ago, the electric vehicle won out and everything was electric.

Move forward 100 years and theres a new fangled technology that offers certain advantages in terms of energy density and possibly refuelling times (electric may have moved on in those 100 years though) but there were some downsides in terms of complexity (too many moving parts), efficiency (lots of wasted energy), and potential explosiveness, both in terms of driving around in a big bomb, and the centralised storage facilities (because you couldn't fill it at home overnight). Not to mention it could leak all over the floor and spread the fire further. Oh, and it would put out a load of weird chemicals into the atmosphere, who's effect is currently unknown and would probably be insignificant.

I can see the same sort of arguments being used. Actually, having just read it back, I suspect it would be a non starter (like my SL)
I guess people don't like change. I know what I like and and I like what I know.

I'm not advocating anything. Just pointing it out. Current electric has downsides as well

Where is the double-like button? I posted something similar a while back. The barrier to change is the human aspects, not what is actually changing.

A post about the Fremantle highway ship…

Now the fire is out and they’ve been able to board and inspect the ship, the lower four car decks out of the twelve decks there were untouched by fire and the vehicles parked on those decks might even be salvageable if they can figure out how to offload them given there are eight decks of molten vehicles fused with the decks above. Guess where all the EVs were, or indeed are? Yup, on the lowest decks, entirely unburned and possibly fully functional despite the 100% ICE vehicle bonfire above them, or at least that’s the gist of this new article on the matter. German speaking group members can read the link below for more details…

»Fremantle Highway«: Bergung von Ladung des Autofrachters offenbar kompliziert

Die Bergung von Ladung der »Fremantle Highway« ist offenbar kompliziert: Die vier obersten Decks seien kaum betretbar, sagen Experten. Überraschend: Eine beträchtliche Zahl von Autos ist wohl in gutem Zustand.
