But your claim is a trite myth.
Max green,
Is it really, considering your industry hasn't even gotten off the ground yet so to speak ?
When your Green technology is at its height of producing batteries on an industrial scale to try to cope with the next generation's demands you'll find I'm actually nowhere near exaggerating the pollution from Green technology !
Also, I have long proposed a Mono Rail network as an answer to cut transport costs & emission .Mono rail carriages can have solar roofs & there could be wind generators built into the system as could power lines, water pipes & communication antennae ! No bridges, no earth works, no affect on forrest/Bush land, car parks can be underneath a rail station, do away with a number of land-destroying roads, no flood damage to rail lines, no rail crossings needed, etc, etc, etc, just simply win, win, win all around !
Who thinks this is not a vialble option in the long run ? The key word being future transport !

I think that monorails are not an option because monorails cannot cary heavy freight, besides which. Monorails have proven inadequate except for specialized passenger carriage.
Currently there are few monorails in use.

Is Mise,
So, because it hasn't been done before we shouldn't do it ? Well, there goes future infrastructure planning down the gurgler !

"So, because it hasn't been done before we shouldn't do it ? Well, there goes future infrastructure planning down the gurgler!"

You realise that fossil fuels are finite and will peak and run out - as in all of them - within 100 years or so if we keep increasing our use of them?

You realise the irony of what you've said above given your irrational and emotional rejection of clean energy solutions and EV's?

While monorails have a demonstrable history of not going fast, not going well, and not going cheap - solar is still on a significant cost curve. It's still scaling up while the price enjoys more economies of scale and comes down.

It will soon overtake Australia's electricity system and then double or triple it as we prepare for Dunkelflaute in winter. These "Dark Lull" events just have to be overbuilt for - and then at the most we'll need 1 or 2 days storage from pumped hydro. EASY!

In the meantime Janus proves battery swaps WORK.
What will future batteries allow?

BTW - does anyone here know what charging time Tesla is aiming for in their big-rigs?

Does anyone know how long it takes to pump Diesel into a big-rig?

Depending on the pump, it can take anywhere from 10 minutes to 30!

Tesla aim to have their big-rig charge 80% in 30 minutes. And if that doesn't work, I'm sure they'll come up with an awesome battery-swap - given they already did that in some of their sports models!

Where I live, we have 1,000 + trucks a day passing so if they all stop at the same service station to refuel how does it change a 1,000 battery operated trucks every day? Where is the electricity coming from to supply these 1,000 heavy laden trucks every day? That is just one Highway to the north coast which happens to be a trucking stop. Was the truck in the experiment fully loaded? Did he have the radio and air conditioning on? Did he drive through water over the road from recent flooding? This is what truckers travelling the north Coast must encounter.

Max,
If you’re wondering why your links don’t go automatically into a ready to read mode it’s because you are not removing the ‘s’ from ‘https’, try just ‘http’ and you’ll get more readers.
It’s a peculiarly OLO thing that’s been bugging people for years.
