Win a heart contest: Comment on These Equations to Explain Why Musk's Car and His Powerwalls Were Never "Green." [View all]

Many people here used to worship the Nazi His Maggotcy King Eloon the First because they thought (and some still think) his fucking electric car was "green" or his Powerwall® product was "green."

Here are a few equations from the scientific literature that kind of offer insight as to why this has always been bullshit, even though he played many of us like a fiddle in order to generate enough money to buy the United States at a bargain price, $250M from a venal senile old man who despite the fact whole life featured moral vapidity had nonetheless somehow been confused by stupid people as some kind of religious figure, Jesus maybe:

First equation:



Second Equation:



The equations have variables that are pretty standard in the context of Musk's crap and thermodynamics.

Discuss these equations in terms of why electric cars and batteries in general are not really "green" in a satisfactory way and I'll give you a DU heart.

As Groucho used to say, "Say the secret word..." and get a heart. Plagiarizing other posts in this thread will not win a heart, unless demonstrating originality.

When the contest closes, I'll give the reference.
