LOL
are you saying I'm gay, that I'm into men? I'm not (not that there's anything wrong with that!)
or
are you saying that I'm happy and excited : cheerful and lively?

that's be right, I'm usually in a good mood....
especially when I read your posts, It makes me appreciate the people I deal with daily who aren't fat, bottom feeding morons with IQs less than my Golf handicapp.

oh, no offense

Folks let's get back to how nicely the economy has recovered under Obama's leadership. Let's not cloud the issues.

Best news ever? If this development pans out, I don't think that's much of an exaggeration.

People have been dreaming of a safe and workable fusion reactor for just about as long as I can remember. For many years, it seemed like everyone always thought the solution was 25-30 years away, with goalposts that always kept moving.

If commercially viable fusion power becomes a reality within a decade or two, it may be accompanied by dramatic developments in battery technology. A number of people are working on nanoparticle and nanowire lithium-ion batteries, as well as other ideas that may have potential.

Breakthroughs in battery cost and capacity are critical to the long-term viability of electric cars and trucks.

Another idea is that range anxiety on highway trips could be alleviated by a network of battery exchange stations. The basic idea is that a car owner could opt for the choice of laying off all or part of battery capital costs to an energy company, in return for paying an effectively much higher rate for electricity. That is, an energy company -- not the car owner -- would own the battery, and the driver would pay each time a depleted battery was swapped for a freshly-charged one. But since the cost of fueling a gasoline car is several times that of charging an electric car, the owner should still come out ahead, especially if oil becomes much more expensive in future decades.

And the swap takes less time than filling your gas tank, as this video shows.

The driver just pulls the car over a pit resembling ones used in quickie oil change shops, and the robotic devices do the rest.

If something like this ever comes to fruition, imagine how much cleaner the air in our large cities will be!

where is the stories about clean energy via cold fusion?

Who said anything about cold fusion, mope?

Try to follow the article instead of looking at yourself in the mirror, bigcocklicker.

*sigh*
forget how dumb others are

any fusion done by man would be cold fusion,
see:

Cold fusion is a hypothetical type of nuclear reaction that would occur at, or near, room temperature, compared with temperatures in the millions of degrees that are required for "hot" fusion, which takes place naturally within stars.

so the article might say "fusion", but that means cold fusion, not hot fusion...understand yet?
if not go here

Keep trying dope. It is especially ironic that you call others dumb, BigCockLicker.

No one said anything about cold fusion. EXCEPT YOU. Cold fusion happens at or near room temperature and some people thought it could be done chemically.

All of the ACTUAL test fusion reactors that have been tried have NOT been cold fusion.

They use lasers or other technologies to cause fusion in very minute amounts of hydrogen. This has been done for only time fractions of a second and the amount of energy returned was less than the amount of energy needed to operate the device.

But they operated in the plasma state - which is extremely hot. As in thousands of degrees at a very tiny point where the lasers are focused.

Here is some reading for you. Try looking for any "man made" reactor that is labeled "cold fusion".

right, cause cold fusion isnt possible
duh
try to keep up

Then why did you bring it up in a thread about "hot" fusion?

You brought it up just so you could say it isn't possible? Strawman much?

This I could get on board with. Obviously there would have to be some consistency among battery packs.
Looking at this as nothing more than the common gas station, you could pull up, select a battery option that works for your vehicle and keep going.

If this were to become a viable option both practically and economically the battery technology R & D would receive major funding and see tremendous leaps. The process of changing the batteries would become more efficient as competitive battery change stations refine their techniques.

Again, there would have to be some consistency. All cars now either run on gas or diesel. In the gas realm you have three choices. Without some homogenization of the product, storage would become a big problem.

In order for that to work a non auto company would have to lead the way. If you get 20 different manufacturers using 20 different proprietary battery packs it doesn't work.

never said "hot" fusion,
pathetic strawman you make

you cried out how there is no cold fusion, I just simply explain how weak your understanding about what fusion vs cold fusion is.l


dont pout cause you are a nimrod who can't understand what it reads. instead keep doing what you do, LASH out at your betters

Im done with this moron, respond all you want, I won't reply, I have better things to do than teach someone anything. go try to learn

Keep spinning your story, mope.

I never "cried" about there being no cold fusion, since I never mentioned it. YOU did.

And you even got THAT wrong, because the article never mentions cold fusion either.

So this "cold vs. hot" debate existing only in your addled brain. You tried to "explain" something that wasn't being discussed.

And all this, because you tried to make yourself look smart, when you are not.

I assume the "better" things you have to do involve looking at yourself in the mirror.

Just imagine the junkyards full of 8-10 year old Tesla batteries that weigh 2000 pounds each, and leach out deadly toxins!!!
What does a new battery cost after the 8 year warranty? $25,000?? How much is the car worth at that point?
If that is true, you lose all of the fuel cost savings on the car!!! Suckers....

I noted earlier that electric cars cannot be commercially viable without a significant battery cost breakthrough. That's an absolute prerequisite, but could be a serious game changer.

No Tesla battery pack weighs 2,000 pounds. The largest (85 kWh) checks in at about 1,300. Still, that's a heavy load. But no one is likely to just dump that large a battery pack into a landfill. I'm not familiar with the pertinent environmental laws, but would be surprised if that's not a serious criminal offense.

Lithium-ion battery packs and their steel housings can (and will) be recycled so that the various metals can be separated out for reuse.
