The largest companies in the world are now operating on 100% renewables. But go ahead, put your grandkids college fund in coal. Now you better hurry up and phone the Board of Directors at Mercedes, Jaguar, VW, Toyota, GM, Ford, Volvo, Honda and tell them they are making a huge mistake switching production to EVs.

Can't wait to move back to Canada and get a Model Y pity Tesla only warrants them from 100-150k miles then

Planes will not be, battery weight will kill that unlike a plane that gets lighter as it burns fuel battery planes dont theyre saddled with that take off weight, let me know when 400 people get on a plane and cross the atlantic, Im not talking those patehtic 10o mile range 6 seater things

I see your a bit behind on your scientific literature. Elon Musk says "all transport, apart from rockets, will be electric in future"...but what the hell does he know anyway.... Guess he hasn't heard of the geniuses posting here on Thai Visa... Better phone Airbus and the Rolls Royce jet engine division & tell them to stop the research. And while you're at it, tell them their test flights are just a figment of their imagination.

Im all ears......research does not make it viable Airbus and Rolls-Royce made the joint decision to bring the E-Fan X demonstrator to an end in April 2020. We continue to explore new pathways for disruptive CO2 reduction and are leveraging the knowledge gained through E-Fan X to do so.

I wonder who knows more about renewable energy and the future of transportation? Elon Musk, the CEO and chief engineer at SpaceX & Tesla or some guy on Thai Visa that watches Fox?
October 2, 20214 yr 3 minutes ago, LarrySR said: Hmmmm... Who should I trust? Elon Musk, the CEO and chief engineer at SpaceX & Tesla or some guy on Thai Visa that watches Fox? Look if you dont have any sensible answer dont bother answering, provide some link to the fact you mention electric planes are coming soon for long haul. The first thing to note is that long-haul flights by large aircraft are not going to become fully electric any time soon. Certainly not within the next 50 years – and the jury’s out as to whether that will even happen this century. The reason is energy density. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20200617-the-largest-electric-plane-ever-to-fly

I don't doubt Elon Musk know more about about it than me, but it's a pretty good bet I know more about it than you. That said, asking the CEO of Telsa about electric cars is like asking the CEO of Philip Morris about smoking. If you remove government mandates and subsidies, most of the renewable energy industry goes away. As always, bored, rich leftists driving up energy costs and hammering down the standard of living for the poor and middle class with mandates. Incidentally, per Elon, should we not all be in driverless cars by now?

Solar sails have a maximum speed which is 10% the speed of light, which equates to 18,600 miles per second or, 67,100,000 mph. Solar powered spacecrafts are able to travel faster than conventional rocket fueled spacecrafts due to constant light pressure being applied to the sail propelling it forward.

Building a solar sail, especially a very large one, is a feat that still needs development https://www.planetary.org/articles/what-is-solar-sailing So ... still on the drawing board. I can put anything on the drawing board, say it is in development.

This fails dramatically as you get farther from the sun The minimum transfer time to Jupiter for ac of 1 mm/s2 with no departure velocity relative to Earth is 2 years when using an indirect transfer (solar swing-by). The arrival speed (V∞) is close to 17 km/s. For Saturn, the minimum trip time is 3.3 years, with an arrival speed of nearly 19 km/s.[2]
