We've been through this before. This cuts both ways: you just killed your own argument by admitting that there are no free markets, period, and hence your arguments are pure fantasy. Please don't argue at this level. The world is not black and white, but has shades of grey, and even colors. > which non-coercive free market are you referring to here? You're missing the point completely, again. The point I was making about electric propulsion in vehicles is lack of power density in electrochemical and supercapacitor cells. This is a physical problem, not an optimization problem. Remember where we started? Why we need liquid fuel, and that synfuel require massive infrastructure investment, which is an objectively bad strategy for investors in a highly volatile market? Well, we did. If I sound like a broken record, it's because falling into the same argument mode as you. This is not worth our time. Your mind has snapped shut as an oyster, and no amount of facts will budge it either way. So let's drop it. -- Eugen* Leitl <a href="http://leitl.org";>leitl</a> http://leitl.org ______________________________________________________________ ICBM: 48.07100, 11.36820 http://www.ativel.com 8B29F6BE: 099D 78BA 2FD3 B014 B08A 7779 75B0 2443 8B29 F6BE
