I’d rather force safety requirements on all cars. Like limiting blind spots at the front and everywhere else, limiting speeds of vehicles above certain weights, increasing license requirements for vehicles that have higher safety impact etc.
Hydrogen has its place, and we need plenty of it in places where we don’t have viable alternatives. Road transport is pretty far down that list though.
And don’t forget that the plants are really expensive. Having them produce very little or even no power for half the time doesn’t help that at all.
Thermal storage needs to be quite large though, at least with the stone/brick like mass they used back then. And you need to isolate it, otherwise you have no control over the release of that stored heat. I wonder if new materials, maybe something that undergoes phase change in that temperature range, could be a lot more space efficient.
I don’t know how remote your mountains are, here there would likely be a charge point less than 50km away but I don’t know where you drive. I give you that.
Your second point though, you might want to reconsider your driving habits. Random google result for breaks when driving: “If driving long distances, you should stop for at least 15 minutes every two hours. Stop often to rest for at least 45 minutes every 4.5 hours of driving to avoid getting tired and stay alert. Plan to stop for a break every 100 miles on your long road trip so that you can relax. Try to only drive for 9 hours a day.”
How so, I’m curious? Do you drive into no mans land hundreds of miles away from civilization or are you a robot that never needs to take a break?
At least it doesn’t look like chocolate stuff, always great to get those turning white because they baked in mid summer heat.

This looks impressive, but he was talking about level 50+. I don’t have anywhere close to stuff like this at 50, hell I probably won’t have half of it by the time I’ll get bored of the barb and switch to another class.
Bow rogue, always has been since D1 (except for D3, didn’t really like the demon hunter).
Whirlwind barb is fun as well, but I don’t really like that shouts seem to be essential and the “great with shouts, crap during cooldown” cycle.
once you get fury sorted
My barb is 55 and I’m still waiting for that to happen.
You’re not fury-starved anymore
How? That is still the main issue I have, the barb is fun while shouts are running but in between he is squishy and kinda toothless.
Maybe someone should introduce her to a spoon.
You don’t need power storage for months, if you combine different renewable sources and have power lines connecting different areas. Wind and solar complement each other usually.
You need to be able to bridge a few weeks though, because there will be gaps, but you don’t need to store solar power for half a year to make it. It is still a big issue, but no need to exaggerate.
As much as I’d like to agree, those projects have very different goals and constraints.
I’d guess even if some other man made satellite is perfectly in line, those wouldn’t have even close to the necessary transmission power to reach voyager.
Usually there is a compromise somewhere though. If they could just add all the features without any downsides, they surely would (and demand a premium for it). Granted, sometimes it is just cheaper to get rid of it (and thus make more profit), but sometimes its just a decision to cater to a minority or provide a benefit for the majority of users.
Almost all of those are pretty niche problems though. Which explains why they just aren’t a high priority for manufacturers.
I absolutely loved that game.
