710 Upside down

There is a thing I don't understand, auto manufacturer make hybrid to reduce fuel consumtion, but how come its a gasoline+electric combination and not disel+electric? Disel has a better energy conversion rate then gasoline. Compare to the toxicated land, the smog have minor impact to the enviroment.

What's important is to keep the current system of portable energy delivering, charging EV is then opt out. My favor to disel, including bio ones, as a transitional from gasoline to the acutal unknown future energy form for the impact that cost different aspect in US.Keep the gas station system and change the energy form. It's pretty sure most auto manufacturer have their own disel engine, pretty much same gas tank, with already intact pump in gas station. Give a stedy road map in energy transition to both the seller and consumer.

Remodeling gas station is a night mare. Even thou it benefit the contractor labor market, the nature of construction provide a surge which benefit our good friend. Also the reduction in gas station will pump up the supply in land and drop value with high cost. Closed gas station are mostly abandoned, even in area which land supply are tight. Addition cost to detoxicate the polluted gas station for the underground gas tank is what prevent developer build to profit, unless it is a busy spot for business, but then the gas station shouldn't be closed if that's the situation. Hince the detox is always a trouble maker giving different types of issue where new developer face trouble and old developer avoid.

My whole view is based on where US stand and live.

This Land!
