Do you really think hybrid prototypes 10 years ago with their massive batteries were superior to a Honda Accord?

Of course not.

good.

If so why would you say this:

If it was simply a matter of developing technology everybody would have been driving a hybrid vehicle 10+ years ago.

Because it's true.

If you really believe everyone would willingly choose an inferior product then you are delusional. Seriously.

I was simply comparing the hybrid vehicle to:


[/ QUOTE ]

No. There is no need to compare to anything but the cars currently in use. Either it is a superior product or it isn't. Forget about the [censored] algae.

This does not mean that we'll see algae farms in the very near future. If/when it becomes economical (as borodog said and as the hybrid finally is) we will.

1) As far as I can tell borodog isn't an authority on anything. So I wouldn't reference him.

2) I'm glad you finally realize that better products will sell. Now please think about your 10 year ago hybrid comment.

3) This is a basic economics 101 concept. It's called "utility".

[ QUOTE ]
And unless I can just go pick some algae and put it in my Honda gas tank there will likely be other stumbling blocks to overcome (economic and design issues).

Tell me something I don't know. BTW, most people call this developing the technology.


Ugh... done in here for the day.
