October 15, 20205 yr @Dave Just a suggestion here, but if you want to debate climate change, rather than what this thread was supposed to be about, why don't you start a new topic. This thread was supposed to be about the future of aviation. Something we are all interested in. I attempted to get back on topic by posting about the Rolls Royce technology. Its clear you are simply going to ignore all of us that offer counter arguments, so that would seem a great idea. Edited October 15, 20205 yr by martin-w

Couldn't help but think of all the so called biased "debates" about which sim was better XP11.5 or MSFS1+ or P3D4.5. Bryan Wallis aka "fltsimguy" Maple Bay, British Columbia Near CAM3

Once the electric car batteries have been sent off to the "second lives" in some third world country, I strongly suspect that those countries will just dump the batteries next to the village they were installed in. Conveniently swept under the metaphorical carpet...

Conveniently swept under the metaphorical carpet... Because of impending shortages in nickel (not from the Ni ores used for stainless steel, but rather the purer ores that readily yield Class 1 nickel used in lithium batteries), Tesla just announced that all of its old car batteries will be recycled into new batteries. I suspect most other BEV manufacturers will have to follow suit or they won't be able to produce cars.

I'm sure Elon's team can design the necessary rockets and extraction gear..
