I have a Toyota rav4 plugin in europe. Gas costs 1.7€/liter, gets about 6l/100km for about 10.7 cents per km. On electric it goes about 73km for 14kwh which costs about .60€ per kWh which is about 11.3 cents per kWh. Of course the

This will only work for a very unbalanced exchange though where the attacker has way fewer resources. The cost of an iron dome intercept will be far higher than that of an artillery shell. In an exchange of equally resourced opponents the a

Well, the alternatives for CFC-generating are already developed and in the marketplace. There are still no equivalent alternatives for many oil-using products. Kind of indicates that it is technically easier. The fact that there are CFC rep

These are good but also poor examples. The solutions to those were much much easier. If carbon reduction were that easy we would have done it already.
