...of antinukes, other than their poor educations and intellectual deficiencies is that they think their fucking cars are more important than say, the glaciers in the Himalaya mountains on which the two most populated countries in the world, China and India depend for their water supplies.

This suggests to me that we can include moral deficiencies with their intellectual and educational deficiencies.

I have written many places here and elsewhere about the well known properties of syn gas to displace all uses of petroleum. In fact, syn gas has already operated on an industrial scale to do this in countries where petroleum was not available because of odious governments, in Nazi Germany and in Apartheid era South Africa.

Of course, I'm not a fan of gasoline, nor of lithium batteries, nor in general the entire car CULTure. Nevertheless I do acknowledge that in a more sustainable world, rather than the unsustainable world that antinuke fear and ignorance has brought us, portable engines of some types, for instance farming machinery, might have limited application. In this case, I recommend DME which can displace all applications of dangerous gasoline, dangerous natural gas, dangerous LPG, and dangerous coal. This is available by something called "process intensification," a process by which waste heat is converted into exergy rather than dumping into the environment.

However this discussion is technical, and although this is the Science Forum we do have people who know nothing about science whatsoever show up here to show their contempt for the topics discussed here.

What is technically feasible however, is neither inevitable or even likely. As noted in the OP, the abysmally ignorant, and frankly rather deadly antinukes have won on a scale that defies the imagination. The results of their ignorance are written in the planetary atmosphere.

QED.
