Heard it was just compressed air?
it's about plastic pollution not carbon
But like, still, yeah... "pLaStIc StRaWs"
It is just compressed air, though it's an insane amount of energy stored in that form. The number that will actually have that function will be so small that it probably doesn't matter, though the emissions of car-centric transport are absolutely crazy. give me more trains!
I'm curious about the actual energy cost of the compressors tbh. How much battery range will go to car RCS thrusters?
Compressed air is one of the most expensive ways of storing energy.
