This comic has been posted in every single fucking community that’s even remotely relevant, and many that aren’t. We get it.
Also, it uses cold gas thrusters with compressed air as the propellant, so the carbon footprint is similar to driving any other EV.
so you are telling me that the energy to keep a car in the air is equivalent to move a car on wheels? hmmm interesting…
No carbon footprint if it uses solar, wind or nuclear energy.
That’s just straight up not true, you need to build the dammed things and that leaves s big footprint.
Okay so what do you want to do? Go back to the stone age? Get of your phone and follow the ways of Ted Kaczynski.
So it’s either out-of-control consumer production or back to stone age? No in between?
The in-between was disregarded over a nitpick for it not being “perfectly” carbon neutral.
That person would complain because the carbon footprint of my fart is too big.
How about just acknowledge the obvious downside and not making stuff up, dolt.
What downside? I really do not understand what you are talking about. Your only critique is that I said “no carbon footprint” instead of “a much smaller comparatively insignificant carbon footprint”, which in my opinion is just dishonest nitpicking.
no but I think the point was that the gas wasn’t compressed in the car, the same way the electricity wasn’t produced in the car, there’s no direct carbon emissions just indirect ones primarily from however that country is generating its electricity (as the air compressor that was used to charge it probably runs on mains electric)
The plan is for the vehicle to have an air compressor on board, I don’t know if the vehicle in the demo has it though.
But yes, compressed air is typically electricity with extra steps.
