Electric cars
The electric cars that'll work with what recharging stations
Kek
Except the biggest lobby against Nuclear Power is still the Fossil Fuel lobby.
you know that oil is used for a lot more than fuel right?
If the technology existed to make them useful then it wouldn't matter
And where does the electricity for those electric cars come from?
@Arrows you do realize that nuclear fission can't power cars right
also you know that electric cars get their electricity from somewhere right?
That's almost always a fossil fuel plant.
And nuclear power plants all use diesel generatora
also the batteries and electric cars are incredibly expensive and resource intensive to produce.
Ssb tech will get them to charge faster, hold a charge longer and cars can potentially have a range of over 1,000 miles
What happens to them when they're no longer usable?
They are completely different fields
Oil really isn't used for large scale power production
Beyond that electric vehicles do not have a future in cargo transportation, they just don't.
Galaxy brain over here arguing that the biggest market for fossil fuels is 'cars'.
They don't have the fuel density required.
Petroleum is used to make plastic
Cars
Planes
Boats
That's oil mind
and many other things that don't involve cars
Coal power is mostly for electricity
But oil is mostly for transportation
Solid state batteries don't break down like lipo or alkaline. Because the electrolyte is stabilized in glass
Industry in America at least is a relatively minor part of oil
And oil is completely different from coal
Saying "the fossil fuel lobby" like it's some massive collective is silly
Even if we didn't use oil for cars or anything the industry would still exist and thrive
Also, the electrolyte is just sodium. So much easier to source
Because of how useful plastics are
@Chijohnaok plastic is a byproduct and not the main one
You don't refine oil looking for plastic or asphalt
Plastics can be made from any oil, it's just that petroleum is high yeild
You just produce them on the side and sell them
So what you're saying is oil is mostly a used in transportation like I said
