Re: Filling station power requirement
"Don't you think we can make the necessary changes given THREE DECADES of lead time?"
Necessary for who? Swapping from OPEC to local energy companies is a change from bad to worse and then *you* pay thousands for that. From petrol to coal and emissions multiply because of transfer losses.
Petrol is easy to transport, electricity isn't. Really. 10% loss in transit is *low* for electricity.
So I don't see anything necessary. It's not hard to make simple hydrocarbons from raw materials we have, like water and CO2.
