E fuels won't ever dry up... It's not a political statement... its pure science.
You opened the conversation .
Your taking CO2 emissions that's already in the atmosphere and taking it out similar to what plants do( make oxygen ) they convert it into fuel then the cars send the CO2 back out. It's a cycle that would never end as it's net zero. Your not increasing the total CO2 levels to add to globe warming claim.
The biggest issue with it is lack of mass production and current costs.
Another point EVs in general have shorter service life especially the battery which is costly to produce and the resources needed from the environment are much higher than an ICE motor. An in comparison an ICE motor can work for decades where as a battery only has so many charges no matter what you do. How many 15 or 20yr old EVs will be on the road zero how many late 90s or early 2000 vechiles which have been maintained are still churning along. EVs are like phones out dated 1yr later and how long does your battery longevity last in any iPhone.
To the second point look at how many nuclear power plants have come on line in the last 20yrs worldwide vs how many have been shut down?
The average age of U.S. commercial nuclear power reactors that were operational as of August 1, 2023, is about 42 years. The oldest operating reactor is Nine Mile Point Unit 1 in New York State, which entered commercial service in December 1969. The newest reactor to enter service is Vogtle Unit 3 at the Alvin W. Vogtle Electric Generating Plant in Georgia that began commercial operation on July 31, 2023. The next-youngest operating reactor is Watts Bar Unit 2, in Tennessee, which began commercial electricity generation in October 2016.
Hybrid powertrains with E miles are the future if someone asked my opinion.
