    It’s the capability for green energy use, in a very energy-intense application. That possibility is not there with combustion engines.

    We cannot have a green energy economy unless all the usage endpoints consume clean energy rather than hydrocarbons.

      most things that use energy are capable of using green energy, you wouldnt call an investment in a coffee machine company a green energy investment. We need the green energy first.

        Anything that already runs on electricity isn’t really part of the discussion then, because there’s no need to change anything at the point of use.

        A better analogy to the car thing might be investing in (or subsidizing) heat pump production over natural gas furnaces.
