[FRIAM] A Theory of (Almost) Everything - IEEE Spectrum

[Merle Lefkoff]

Almost, but not quite, Jochen.  He doesn't know about embodied energy.  A
motor car has an embodied energy contents of 20 800k kWh, while an electric
car's embodied energy amounts to 34 700 kWh.  Perhaps if he knew this he
wouldn't be so optimistic.  We are racing toward our doom.
