2026-04-28 Chinese Researchers Converting Coal Directly Into Electricity
Chinese researchers converting coal directly into electricity by an electrochemical process. Needs many more years for development. The problem is it’s still a finite resource being used up. And there is still the waste left over. Solar and wind are infinite and free. https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=pfbid028ZMxJRtnzemcj46uq9d4umqztWpJDeWnuGLhaSo2dcE1erQqvW4xeRK1UZyYxsfJl&id=100064453789721&post_id=100064453789721_pfbid028ZMxJRtnzemcj46uq9d4umqztWpJDeWnuGLhaSo2dcE1erQqvW4xeRK1UZyYxsfJl&mibextid=NOb6eG

Fossil Fuel Is Wasteful. Before A Fossil Car Fills Its Tank, It’s Already “Spent” Enough Energy To Drive Hundreds Of Miles In An EV.
Just how wasteful is fossil fuel? Most people think about what happens inside the engine… But the real waste starts LONG before the fuel even reaches your car. To make just 1 litre of petrol /gasoline: Around 1,700-3,400 kJ (0.5-0.95 kWh) is used just to get crude oil out the ground. Then another 3,400-6,800 kJ
