How 'bout a Stirling engine driving a generator to charge batteries / capacitors? Stirling engines use external heat sources... Since they run on hot air, we can finally have an ethical use for politicians! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif)

Finally a use for JT LOL

So as unfortunate it is to loose your cargo in such a matter it will not be the end of the mater. Just wait till the shipping company declares General Average.
General Average is a principle of maritime law that essentially establishes that all sea cargo stakeholders (owner, shipper, etc.) evenly share any damage or losses.
Luckily none of our personal vehicles were on this ship.

@Lg914 Matt Farah of the "Smoking Tire" podcast, and owner of a WLA car storage facility is the only guy that I heard of that has lost his special-order car on that ship. I'm sure that he will discuss this on his platform (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sunglasses.gif)

He's an upbeat guy with a great pedigree in automotive journalism. Porsche auto group will Def want to take care of His replacement/ or $$ settlement. When all clears up Matt could get a personal Cali Plate; HOT TIRE (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif)

"Felicity Ace's fire was reportedly complicated by a number of electric cars onboard, with batteries that caught fire. It's still unclear what initially caused the blaze."

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) it's unclear . . . move along . . . nothing to see here

I think electric motors have great potential as a means of propulsion, but batteries... batteries are nowhere near the level of technology that we need, and they won't be for sometime IMO. Cities will burn like the fabled fires of the late 19th and early 20th century if people don't start having honest conversations about electrical vehicles soon.

My vote follows this thinking. Our current battery technology is fair, but needs more before it's ready for the mainstream. Same with solar, it's great we are moving in this direction, but we need more time.
