WTF is a "climate team"?

Yeah. The problem is that the resource is very limited.

It is and made worse because BJ Clinton got rid of the government helium reserve first started in 1925. He wanted the private sector to establish a price for it. Of course what happened was much was wasted on party balloons and stupid voices.

Former Michigan Gov. Jennifer Granholm to head the Department of Energy makes me think there is going to be a strong push for Detroit to 'Go Electric'.
Why let China take the lead in this?

Let them win. Electric cars running on batteries is a technological dead end that has limited applicability. Nowhere in the world do they sell well without massive government bribes...err, subsidies... to sell them.

The future is hydrogen or ammonia fuel cell vehicles that can be adapted to current infrastructure.

Not really. Neither hydrogen nor ammonia have nearly as much energy as the same amount of gasoline. Manufacturing either ammonia or hydrogen requires a lot of energy. Where are you going to get that energy from? Hydrogen and ammonia??

You can't create energy out of nothing. You're back to coal fired cars again.

You should probably inform Tesla of your view point.

Yes. The Chinese are Idiots with their Electric Cars and Solar Panels. I do wish you would give your deep analysis of Future Power to the United Nations.

Jack, did you know electric cars were around since the early 1880's? In fact, there were more electric cars on the roads in NY than internal combustion and steam powered cars combined in 1900.
Would you want to get in an accident with an electric (battery) powered car? Most emergency responders fear having to respond to electric (battery) powered auto accidents. That's a fact, Jack.

How's the broken car you have coming along? Still catching the Bus?
 
Damn climate! Can't we destroy it once and for all so liberals will stop bugging us about something so unimportant?

China's NEV production and sales have been declining since July 2019 following Beijing's cuts in subsidies and a slowdown in the country's economy growth. The Covid-19 outbreak at the beginning of 2020 also further weighed on the domestic NEV industry.

The government in April 2020 announced that it would extend its subsidy scheme to the end of 2022 to boost NEV adoption in the wake of Covid-19. It had planned to reduce subsidies on regular NEVs by 10pc in 2020, and by 20pc in 2021 and 30pc in 2022.

The NEV market began to recover in the second quarter of 2020, supported by a variety of government stimulus measures to encourage the use and purchase of such vehicles. The country sold 1.109mn NEVs during the first 11 months of last year, up by 3.9pc from the same period in 2019, according to China's automotive manufacturers association.

The block (which is an extremely rare and expensive NASCAR block) is still at the machine shop and the guy I'm having rebuild it knows more about the older FE engines than I do. He's built some pretty stout engines, so when the block comes back, we'll decide how I want it built and I will help.
