The rare earths have many unique physical and chemical properties which make them important, if not critical, components in a variety of energy technologies, noted Karl Gschneidner from Iowa State University in a separate presentation at TMS 2011.

The group investigating the production of bio-hydrocarbons will produce hydrocarbons by pioneering processes for chemically converting plant material and by natural microbial and fungal processes that are even less-explored. They will also investigate methods for making hydrocarbon production fast, continuous, scalable, and cost-effective.

My goal was to head north to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, then west to Fargo, ND, and back to Detroit via Iowa. Instead, I drove to Cleveland and then back westward to the center of Iowa, where I visited a relative. The next EV he recalls driving was an electric car built in the early 1900s before gasoline cars took over the market.

Charging is also through powerful motor regeneration that, when coasting or braking, converts kinetic energy into electric energy and returns it to the battery. Never stopping at a gasoline station is a plus, too. If you haven’t experienced it yet, there is something very satisfying about driving an electric car.

This becomes evident in Case 1, where despite the promise of eventual long-term economic benefits, a substantial penalty— in fact possibly worse than gasoline—in the first few decades may render the near term cost of the carbon debt difficult to overcome. Earlier post.).

The last time a production model of an electric car had traveled from coast to coast was in 1998, when an EV-1 made the journey without consuming an ounce of gasoline. Georg also enlisted the help of University of Iowa computer programmer/engineer Karen Pease. This time it would be with a Tesla Motors Roadster!
