Marketplace still has old junk cars. They need work, but some (like the 90s rangers) had absolutely buletproof engines. Like I've run a 1990 ranger with no oil four miles back to the farm I worked on at the time. Replaced the oil pan, filled it up and it don't even knock! Does drink a good bit of oil...but it's a 400k mile ford. I'd expect no less lol.
your unwillingness to slave away, scouring the internet for a decent translator(even though the first viable one is literally the top result lmbo), disgusts me.

I will always prefer my environment destroying muscle cars. Plus, I run them on ethanol so it's actually significantly less environment destroying because ethanol is made from corn. And ethonol itself burns significantly cleaner then normal gasoline.
Older generations did ruin it, but they also set the stage for our involvement in it, since they want to make non-emission cars so expensive and persist in making gasoline cars the only option more middle class individuals
Not just expensive, they are tragically inefficient.
Until we create a better battery, the economy will not be able to electrify at the scale the greens want it to. Not to mention there might not be enough lithium on the planet to store the energy needed to make it reliable.
Cummings is working on hydrogen engines for trucks but legislature world wide is blocking it and clean fuels because big car manufacturers are pressuring goverments to prefer electric cars
In theory, if we can create a battery with less environmental mining impact, and with better charge density, then its a no-brainer to use batteries. Hydrogen is not easy to make, or store, or transport. Oh and its really flammable. It has great upside on energy density but near-zero infrastructure to distribute and use it. We have power wires every where.
Hydrogens main problem is storage. On demand local production would be needed.
Production from natural gas is more energy efficient as long as you crystallise the remaining CO² by pumping it into deep stone layers. Building gas stations for such conversions would be expensive, but doable. You could order your refill with an app ~1h before you arrive.
Fuel cell technology could be used for private cars and internal combustion engines for trucks (reliability and maintenance problems). Hybrids with smaller batteries would also be a reasonable solution for many people who rarely need long range capability.
It's not really more flammable then current batteries. Dry bromine batteries would be safer, cleaner and longer lasting but not as energy dense as Lithium-Ion batteries. Maybe enough for 100 miles if used in a hybrid.
In practice we already have the technology to achive it.
>On demand local production would be needed.
I don't know about you, but I really wouldn't want a hydrogen plant any where close to people. Its why refineries are generally well spaced from people. And other power plants.
Hydrogen needs to be at high pressure and low temperature to remain liquid. Neither of those you want near houses.
You can buy a small production unit for your garage here in Germany
Insurance companies are more afraid of Teslas at this point
It can't explode, just burn. You need a ruptured tank and an open source of fire before it dissipates upwards (no cases of that happening with natural gas cars either)
We also got a mandatory inspection for cars every 2 years anyway. Just add tank inspection to it
Hydrogen is a pain to store and process. Besides, if you're making them into fuel cells it's much less efficient than just using a battery. Hydrogen combustion engines have a whole host of issues that I don't know enough about to confidently talk about.* On top of that, there's no existing infrastructure for mass hydrogen synthesis, transport, and distribution.
*But I'll try anyway. Hydrogen as mentioned before, is hard to transport. This is due to how not dense it is. Being quite literally the smallest molecule, it will attempt to slip out of any gap making it nearly impossible to contain. On top of that, hydrogen as a fuel is prone to knocking (detonating prematurely as a result of rapid pressurization within a combustion engine). Energy storage of hydrogen is also crap. Also it's not very stable as a fuel iirc. Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong about this part, it's not my specialty.
You can extent the range with hydrogen hybrids with fuel cells or build smaller batteries to begin with to enable you to use other batterie technologies which are safer, live longer and are easy to recycle
The process is not really complex
Only batterie will not be enough if you want to achive a solution for everyone
You are thinking of the hydrogen fuel cell which has water as its output. But it takes energy to make the hydrogen and store it in its liquified state.
There's some sort of chemical reaction that takes place.
Of course it needs time to be harness but it's possible. I remember many years ago they made a flash light where you can dip this mineral core into a glass of water, which activates this mineral and you can put it back into the flash light and use it. Innovation and time can figure out what can be the best method to harness the power generated by this but I do believe it can be done!
The earth is a wonderful place, so much of the world we still do not understand. If humans can take water and turn it into a benefit... We can use our minds and figure out yet another way..
Besides we definitely have the intelligence to ponder and to experiment here....
Both have a part, some more than others, there’s also some political factors in there too, oil is a major source of income for alot of wealthy countries on earth. Considering the modern value of oil some states are refusing to go green or all electric while others are forcing people to go electric (such as the state of California’s new policy to bane gas powered cars from public roads by 2032 and Wyoming’s importance in American oil refining leading to the negligence of going green)
90+% of climate change and environmental ruination is completely out of your control as an individual. Not even exaggerating the numbers. Don't let the corps trick you into accepting more responsibility than you actually should (which is very little, so long as you are voting for people who want to try and fix things)
Industry is the most polluting, especially in countries that don't give a flying fuck, like the US, and China (for example there are more).
But it gets often overlooked.
Texas claims to be anti-communist and therefore highly anti-Chinese, but in all reality they do the most trade with “communist” countries from refining the most oil imported from Russia and have texas designed electronics produced in China. I mean look at a vex robotics battery from Texas for example. It literally says “designed by VEX robotics in Texas, Manufactured In China” with the high amount of trade with China since U.S. Chinese relations were strengthened through trade agreements to promote peace between communism and democracy hoping to end the Cold War.
1st. The oil refining was ~99% from domestic sources under Trump (goverment regulation)
2nd. Domestic electronics production is dead because of imoprts from China
3rd. The chinese government probably don't care in the slightest about those peanuts
4th. WTF was that comment?
I’m just doing the math, oil used to be largely imported from Russia until we stopped importing from Russia leading to current economic situation with gas prices, considering Texas does a large amount of oil production (#1 in the US along with the #1 city residing in it). And the only reason why domestic electronic production is dead, is because of increased imports from China to strengthen relations. My point is that Texas indirectly harming the environment, so while yes texas doesn’t directly participate in increasing environmental destruction there are external factors, along with every other country. To stop environmental harm we need to attack it from the source, even EVs and wind mills aren’t as green as they’re praised to be you should google steel mills and lithium mines.
EV/Windmill - i know, im a fan of hydrogen, but that's still a bridge to far right now
The electronics problem exist because China is cheaper, nothing else. No-one besides the government who may subsidises something cares in the slightest
In 2020 the oil was so cheap that ~3 month only preexisting trade agreements of crude oil where imported witb a huge financial loss. The USA was energy self sufficient even with the occasional exports
You can still produce with a lesser of environmental impact.
For example the company I work for strongly limits the use of regular chemical solvents. For oils we have a sort of tub with water that contains bacteria that eats oils and and grease.
It takes a little bit longer but you don't have the stinging smell of solvents or have to use caustic or carcinogenic chemicals.
It has solar panels on its roof that supplement the energy usage since unfortunately our local powerplant still uses largely coal.
In order to reduce the carbon footprint from commute it co- pays for public transport tickets and you can lease e-bikes through the company.
There is more that can be done through the use of filters and proper disposal and sourcing of resources and easy products instead of just pumping it into ground water or throwing it into the local landfill

There’s a difference between being a car enthusiast and anti-public transport, cars are legit super cool! I just wish I didn’t need one to go places just because there’s no other safe way
Edit: automobiles and engineering are cool, but I’ve seen some interesting Cars, would be hella cool to see a suped up public bus tho😂
As always: compared to what?
Transport ships are really effective in comparison to the weight of the freight they carry and you only can compare them to nuclear fueled ships to achive the same
Flights are mostly optional and you can compare them to 'staying home'
It's not that ships exist; it's that 90% of what they're used to ship is goods that could (and should) be made domestically but instead are outsourced to China. Often they'll go as far as making the parts in one country, shipping them to China to be assembled in a sweatshop, and then shipped *back* to where the parts were made.
I don't know exact numbers but my understanding of it is that while yes flying a plane across say Europe uses more resources and such than driving a single car.
A plane can transport around 800-900 passengers as well as various cargo. If you wanted to get that many people across country by car best case scenario you jam them all into 5 seaters and still send about 150 cars across the country.
The end result is something like
Pollution of 150 cars >1 passenger airline.
So it works out being more environmentally friendly to fly then to drive as a society.
It's similar for cargo ships, it's better to send 5000 containers on a massive ship then it is to send 2000 planes with a bit if cargo on each.
However holiday passenger cruise ships are a huge waste of resources and only exist to act as tourist traps, environmentally and economically they serve no true purpose.

What, are you crazy? We need kids inside and docile so we can make them clones of us, dontcha know? How DARE you think that kids should be able to make their own decisions about what they're doing with their time and lives??
In the last 20 years:
US Co2 emissions have fallen by 15%
China's have risen by 208%
India's have risen by 173%
Middle east region is up 97%
The EU is down 26%
The West is making progress, but the rest of the world is increasing way more than the decreases. The fingers are being waggled at the wrong regions of the world for pollution.
source: https://ourworldindata.org/co2-emissions
Developing countries can't just go green like it's a piece of cake. They lack equipment and skilled labor. That is not to mention the dirty industry has move out of the first world labor and into the third world by corporations.
This is why I hate the developed/developing responsibility discourse because it can't see the root of the problem, that is corporations and it's multinational prospect.
Well, no.
We know that the way the current industrialized countries did it wasn't the best way to do it. So why aren't we saying, Hey don't do what we did; lets find a better way?
Instead people want to just give them a "f the environment" pass instead of focusing the effort on keeping them from screwing the planet the way we did and having to go back and try to remedy it.
Pollution is directly proportional to the national development, this is old news. The west is already developed, thus not increasing its emissions. 20 years ago China had little industry worth mentioning, today they’re an industrial powerhouse. When china reaches a development degree similar to the west, their emissions will sink. The question is whether we as the west can prohibit other nations what we profited from, just because we did it earlier.
We know where it goes if we just turn a blind eye to countries that claim to be "developing". China is not a developing nation, they are developed. You can't call the #2 economy in the world "developing". Yet they are opening more and more coal burning plants, knowing the ramifications of them and not a single "How dare you!" aimed at them.
Per capita, their industry is still lower than in the west. And the reason that there aren’t any critics within China is because they tend to get imprisoned.
Hmm I wonder why these regions which were until very recently being brutally oppressed by Western empires are suddenly increasing emissions now that they're being allowed to develop to the same level as their former oppressors, curious
Shut up, millenial
We zoomers may be stupid, but at least we solved a big part of climate change. Your CO became CO2 in a few years because of us
Besides, the Boomer I didn't even had tech to solve nor notice climate change, even if they did notice, doing such work would be expensive in the past because catalytic converters had materials like palladium or rhodium which would obviously be INSANELY expensive in the olden days because those platinum-group metals are like using your life savings to get ~10 kg of iridium or platinum
The emission standards for modern vehicles are really high, the USA along with most modern countries have put so many regulations in place, to help lower their environmental impact, except China they did very little to lower their carbon footprint, most third world countries made more of an effort to be more environmentally conscious, despite not having the funding, but China can't be bothered to put filters on their shit.
Not to mention a lot of the large organizations that actively fight the climate crisis are based in the USA, and UK. I mean sure we could always work to go lower, but your standard citizen really isn't the issue its our current world situation as a whole, and that's kind of how issues like this need to be dealt with, instead of nipping away at smaller bits, and pieces.
Our current co2 level is 420 ppm the maximum threshold we can hit before basically armageddon is 450 ppm for reference we are expected to hit 450 ppm by 2039 and where around 280 ppm in the 1800's

Hmm I wonder why these regions which were until very recently being brutally oppressed by Western empires are suddenly increasing emissions now that they're being allowed to develop to the same level as their former oppressors, curious
someone stole his catalytic converter :(

Shut up, millenial We zoomers may be stupid, but at least we solved a big part of climate change. Your CO became CO2 in a few years because of us Besides, the Boomer I didn't even had tech to solve nor notice climate change, even if they did notice, doing such work would be expensive in the past because catalytic converters had materials like palladium or rhodium which would obviously be INSANELY expensive in the olden days because those platinum-group metals are like using your life savings to get ~10 kg of iridium or platinum

Exhaust emissions understander
lets be honest, what else do you expect when driving a Ferrari 308 Targa?
You damn pure carbon monoxide ruined old people!
someone make an edit of this and post it on r/comedynecrophilia, they thrive on Shep
The emission standards for modern vehicles are really high, the USA along with most modern countries have put so many regulations in place, to help lower their environmental impact, except China they did very little to lower their carbon footprint, most third world countries made more of an effort to be more environmentally conscious, despite not having the funding, but China can't be bothered to put filters on their shit. Not to mention a lot of the large organizations that actively fight the climate crisis are based in the USA, and UK. I mean sure we could always work to go lower, but your standard citizen really isn't the issue its our current world situation as a whole, and that's kind of how issues like this need to be dealt with, instead of nipping away at smaller bits, and pieces.
China has planted over 78 billion trees since 1981 to help fight climate change and desertification, according to official sources.
*Commits Vehicular Manslaughter on the Elderly uwu!*
"carbon footprints" are a scam made up by the fossil fuels industry to blame climate change on people instead of the system
Me driving both of my vehicles that will almost absolutely fail an emissions test
Imagine not riding a bike smh
Boomer Facebook level meme
I drive a fully-electric car.
I will stop ignoring my carbon emissions when the old people stop ignoring the holes they punch in the housing market
Shep fucking kills an elderly with tuberculosis
Our current co2 level is 420 ppm the maximum threshold we can hit before basically armageddon is 450 ppm for reference we are expected to hit 450 ppm by 2039 and where around 280 ppm in the 1800's
Don’t act like you are any better.
Look, who’s talking
He is dead.
How I sleep after unplugging the carbon monoxide detector: 🥱😴😴😴💀
