You have obviously confused me with somebody else. < I object to the unceasing effort to bury the topic... in off topic discussion... Can't win the global warming debate on the merits ? Change the subject... drag everybody off topic... to discuss something that will jam the channel... without being relevant. It's the too common in the disruptive tactics of losers in debate...> If that's your concern, you would have done better to write 'stay on topic' rather than make faulty comments about fast-swap battery cars with Halo. When you make stuff up, of course you get a response. <Yeah. I can see the family dragging grandma out to the Halo device... to see how her pace maker handles it... Probably legal in Oregon...> In fact, electric cars are relevant to the debate and the moderator would give instructions to drop it if he didn't want them discussed. Transport fuels produce a lot of CO2 and electric cars are a way to cut CO2 emissions. You are right that purveyors say "If you want no CO2, our technology does that." That's not surprising: <The assumption... that electrics will matter... forces the purveyors of electric technology to join the liars in the global warming debate, for now... as a part of marketing a technology that has no other obvious reason to exist, at present ? > Many purveyors of many things genuflect to the CO2 swindle. In a discussion with Andrew Gilbert of Qualcomm who is in charge of Halo he mentioned the advantage of Halo in regard to global warming. I told him Halo should stand on its own merits without a CO2 subsidy or protection but of course there is a lot of political interest and support for such CO2 avoidance technology. I'm willing to accept political largess if they are going to throw opm around the place, but only as a bonus, not as a justification itself for Halo. I think $100 a barrel oil is enough to justify Halo and fast battery swap electric cars. Sales of electric cars show that's true. Mqurice
