If you run out of gas between gas stations you can always hitch a ride with someone and get a gallon of gas somewhere.
With an EV you would have to carry or borrow a long extension cord.

2017 F150 4X4 with the 3.5 egoboost is 148gr per kilometre. Over the 133gr Obama target buts still kicks ass. A chip tuned F150 will walk all over just about all sports cars in the 1/4 mile.
The efficiency of the burned coal in 2070 is going to be a lot better than today.
The ash left over is acidic so a use of that material needs to be found. If it was tilled into the fields in the late fall it would sterilize the land but be neutralized by the time spring came around. Places that are clear cut could use it for that same reason as it leaves the ground as sterile as a fire. Getting it there might be expensive.
Compress it so it traps NG and it might become an artificial hydrate which makes it explosion proof which means it is safe to use in engines in a mobile frame that can also be recharged many times.
Should the economy crash a gas engine can be made to run off the fumes wood chips give off when heated up. In the old days wood was the material the fire for the heat was from so it was not a carbon friendly device but it would keep a tractor running.

It's a good thing those pipeline projects didn't go through!
Canada's fossil fuel use to peak in 2019, National Energy Board now projects
The National Energy Board now projects fossil fuel use in Canada will peak in 2019, a major downward revision of similar estimates it has made annually for the past decade.
It's the first time in the 11-year history of the NEB's annual reports on the topic that a peak in fossil fuel demand has been included in the baseline projection.
Previous reports projected demand would increase for the next two or three decades, at least.
The NEB's projections from previous years are indicated by the lines in different colours. The line in black indicates the latest projection, which has Canadian fossil fuel use peaking in 2019 and then declining slowly after that. (National Energy Board)
The NEB now says things have changed on several fronts, and a peak in domestic demand is likely much sooner than previously expected.
"Improving energy efficiency, somewhat slower economic and population growth projections than in previous outlooks, and climate change policies introduced by various federal and provincial governments underlie this change in trajectory," the NEB said in a report released Thursday.
The estimate is based on what the NEB calls the "reference case" — a projection based on current economic outlooks, "a moderate view of energy prices" and a national carbon price of $50 per tonne from 2022 to 2040.
The report also includes two other scenarios that involve an even sharper decline in fossil fuel demand after 2019.
The "high carbon price" scenario, which assumes a carbon price that increases steadily starting in 2022, projects fossil fuel demand will be 7.5 per cent lower in 2040 than it is 2017.

And yum believe this because? Oh right it fits your dogma. Anyway the point of pipelines is to export oil to other countries with chas but no oil. So if we use less ourselves(dubious at best} that leaves more to expoort ' Money in the bank and a boat in every garage.
Aww did the facts trigger you again?
The Internet consumes 10% of the world's energy.

Oh shit, he was born April 1959. I guess it IS all Harper's fault. :lol:
But sucking out trillions of liters of fresh water every year to frack the natgas wells needed to make the commercial wind and solar farms even remotely useful is perfectly acceptable.
Water I might add, that is effectively removed from use for humanity for thousands of years.
But that's okay, as long as the greenies get their way that's all that matters. It doesn't matter that their way is even more environmentally destructive while still requiring the use of gobs of oil and coal.
But hey, we've all seen their version of evidenced based thought and policy; "I believe, therefore it is factual. To hell with reality."
These windfarms are remarkably efficient bird choppers.... nothing like having an automated system of eviscerating all manner of fowl 24/7 - 365
So let us know when you and the rest of the assholes are going to have your mass suicide to save the planet.
Well not quite. Observation has shown that the macerator are stationary or barely turning a good portion of the time due in large part because of the believers have to stop blowing from time to time to paddle their plastic kayaks around an outbound tanker to protest oil.
That's pretty big talk coming from someone who doesn't appear to understand that natgas is a fossil fuel.
