[Peakoil] Reva electric car

[leigh.kite at medicareaustralia.gov.au]

Not if you use a Tesla World system.  You can send it round the globe and
back then for only a 3% loss.  The locals will probably be happy if it
means having power.  Technology won't save us from this, but it'll sure as
hell put some padding on the downward curve!

Cheers,

Leigh

I'm not sure where the "middle of the country" is, but have you asked
the locals? And don't forget electricity loses about 3% of its energy
per 50km of power cable. That's almost half lost over 1000km.

And anti-gravity systems for which there is no demand? The only reason
there is no demand is because they work as well as perpetual motion
machines. If they were real the demand would be incredible - and the
Chinese would have cornered the market.

You revheads still have both feet planted in the past :-)

Oh, and also we'll build anti gravity systems into our electric cars so
we
don't need roads.  We've developed anti gravity technology a lot further
than people actually think, there's just no market for it yet.

Cheers,
