Is This The End Of Tesla ?

Build huge Algea production plants in the deserts, turn the sun light and CO2 into Algea, process that into oil and you get to keep making all of those things, you get to keep the oil infrastructure which is pretty well built around the world and its CO2 neutral, it sucks it in and puts out the same...

You don't quite fathom the scope of our wants and needs as a species, do you?

It will not be solved by the slow process of photosynthesis.

Just Part of the deserts around the world will create enough oil to 100% replace the current demand, Algea grows quick, it doubles every day.

The cost will be Billions, but oil platforms cost Billions, when they get near bingo they'll do it.

Can you run a photovoltaic car on fossil fuels? It is a silly posit.

The problem has simply to do with range and convenience. With petrol, you can recharge a 300-400 mile range car in a few minutes. It takes many hours to get that same recharge through the plug. AND, that plug energy has to come from somewhere.

We as a people want to get everywhere RIGHT NOW, not wait a few hours to get there at the half-way point.

Why yes, yes you can. We are on NV Energy and charge our Tesla on 240V from geothermal. https://www.nvenergy.com/cleanenergy/renewable-energy-portfolio/geothermal-resources

WTF is talking about convenience? You're conflating.

Block.

Tesla should reverse his vision, and make some internal combustion models. Because oil is here forever, until we come up with fusion or zero-point energy of some sort. The sun, wind and waves just ain't going to cut it for all our electrical needs and wants. People CONSUME too much for electric to work. Because after all, electricity just comes from that magical thing in the wall called the "plug". Right?

People are so bloody short-sighted.

The next breakthrough in electric car technology is going to be in fuel cell material science. It’s always a good sign when people laugh at something that works. It tells you creativity comes with a sense of humor.

You mean hydrogen fuel cells?

Good grief, they've been working on that for decades, still can't get it to work. I LOVE the idea! But for practical use? Nahh.
 
People don't realize the beauty of oil (or it's energy content). It's solar energy, just a forest's worth of fossilized biomass in a barrel. The kicker is the efficiency of course, and ICE just can't compete in that department when it comes to vehicles.

The above is a 9kw solar array @ 600 sq ft. You need to run that puppy with no clouds for 5 hours to charge your 45kwh/200 mile car battery. You better do it during the day or have the back up battery storage for your nightly charge. Not everyone's got the kind of real estate, coin, or know-how to do so. You can improve w/a wind turbine when cloudy and/or night time, but it's still a clusterfuck for the home owner.

The above is your night time battery with top of the line lithium tech. Triple the volume w/conventional lead acid.

Compare a 575MW turbine running on dyno farts 24/7. That's 64000 of the aforementioned solar arrays or 38,400,000 sq ft of sunny real estate.

Yer silly. If it were just their farts, peeps wouldn't be up in arms about cow farts. It's their BONES, BLOOD AND GUTS! rAr!

It is with a heavy heart that I must inform you it's generally ancient oceans (algae and shit) that makes the bulk of hydrocarbons
