My own assessment, presented at the 2023 European Space Power Conference and published by IEEE , pointed out dubious assumptions and inconsistencies in four space-solar designs that have received serious attention from government agencies.

The combination of harvesting whole forests and burning long-sequestered carbon sources such as coal or oil has impaired the Earth’s carbon cycle at an increasing pace. All we really need in addition to fleets of new paradigm vehicles are additional solar and wind generation sources.

The first buyers will be fleet users, which will build central fast-charging facilities. Both will be sold first in China, primarily to fleet users: the government, post office, utilities, and taxi companies, all of which will build central fast-charging facilities. The E6 will hit the Chinese market later this year.

Manufacturing an EV battery using coal-based electricity results in more than three times the greenhouse-gas emissions of manufacturing a battery with electricity from renewable sources. 70 percent of lithium-ion batteries are produced in China, which derived 64 percent of its electricity from coal in 2020.

Seattle says it intends to help develop the charging network; consider incentives for buying and using the cars, and creating charging stations; consider regulatory changes to support the cars, such as streamlined permitting for installing charging outlets; and consider leasing or buying the cars for its fleet. Hats off to Nissan.

The government will make direct grants to automakers (as we do, of course) and also provide “subsidies of up to $8,800 are being offered to taxi fleets and local government agencies in 13 Chinese cities for each hybrid or all-electric vehicle they purchase.” I’m eager to meet him and learn more about this remarkable company.

Denmark did that with Wind Power and now most of their energy comes from wind rather than oil, natural gas, or coal. If our country is going to spend money like a drunk sailor we should have spent it on building renewable energy power plants like Wind and Geothermal.
