Sleepy Joe and company are not engineering masters and definitely have no idea as to how to properly prepare the world concerning energy technology and applications.
However, Sleepy Joe does know how to start a world war so as to control the flow of natural gas to Europe.
He mandates a requirement to shift an unpprepared nation to electric vehicles without a plan to properly engineer, manufacture, supply, support and maintain such a vehicle flet and associated problems.
A primary consideration with respect to vehicle purchase, besides cost. is cabin comfort level, The ability to hat and cool the cabin efficiently is a major issue for which the cost effective solution has not yet been developed, bu,t like nuclear
fusion, such systems are in research and development phase.
The thermoelectric chip capable of addressing this issue, like its cousin the photovoltaic cell, will certainly be mass manufactured in China well before the US, nd Russia will definitely be interested in a mass purchase of such chips from China.
Noww the US will sanction such an effort and we need to sanction in advance those idiots who would try to enforce such measures.
The entire world will need unrestricted access to this technology to address civil heating and coooling projects world wife over the indefinite future. Addressing world heating and cooling issues is very much a part of addressing world energy crises,
global warming, and yes, global transportation.
If we are to believe photovoltaics to be part of the alternative energy supply solution, then science ande engineering will soon offer thermoelectric semiconductor technolgy inexpensive and powerful enough to efficiently address difficult and
impossible problems of today. The concept may exist but adequate supply of the proper product is not yet available. The dreamers have only just begun to imagine the systems and are working on the designs still.
Will the US mass manufacture such a chip when it first becomes avalable?
Get real!
Little Taiwan, Japan, Korea and yes, China, may be manufacturing these beauties in mass well before US is everr able to profitanly set up such a shop. Ask yorself how Sleepy Joe is going to motivate the ethnic and social groups of American youth to be
as motivated as the Asian sterotypes which seem to dominate the semiconductor manufacturing labor force. Simply examine the makeup of graduate students in America specializing in semiconductor technolgy. Not many make the football team.
The way I see it, the US is going to need to start being nicer and quit believing it can control world trade by dictating who can buy what and where they can buy it from. That certainly does not sound like a power that respects world free trade and
equality among nations.
The need for heating and cooling throughout the world is a common human problem and attempts by political powers to leverage supply of such resources as a means to control unrelated political differences threatens world peace and security.
QBLH does not support the interests of the US industrial military complex, but sees it instead as a major threat to world peace and security. As such there is a conflict of interests.
Thermoelectric chip should also generate electric power as we are not just interested in resistance heating. It expands use of semiconductors for charging and powering applications.
KWH usage and storage for heating during winter is a significant load concern which reduces vehicle range if manned.
Thermoelectric ship systems used for cooling are of interest concerning automotive comfort systems
