Strawman, a little off topic. Last week I heard a professor of engineering at the University of Michigan say that the batteries she was working on would be make plug-in automobiles more efficient than their current internal combustion engine design. Um, in generalities: chemical->heat->kinetic->magnetic->electrical->~~~trasport~~~->chemical->electrical->magnetic->kinetic=8 gross energy conversions+leakage during transport, vs. chemical->kinetic (Ok, maybe, chemical->heat->kinetic). I may stop saying I studied engineering there…
