Good News! Soon our Fossil Fueled Porsches will be as clean as an EV

[RNajarian]

Porsche is developing a synthetic fuel that which its engineers say will make our fossil fueled cars as clean as EVs.

I wonder if this fuel will maker it easier to pass CA smog regulations.

Clean is an interesting word.

If a fuel like this is economical, might have H2O emissions regulations next.

Methanol?

At what cost, if it isn't readily available, people will choose the cheaper (easier) option ?

I wouldn't pay twice as much to have half the emissions, but i'm not a vegan, tree hugging type !

Mine is cleaner than most EV's.... because it doesn't get driven very often

Yup. Definitely a solution not being discussed much...

So probably a new fuel that takes double the energy input to create, costs way more money, and full cycle creates more pollution than gas? That’s how most green energy seems to work.
