As you know, I periodically enjoy picking your brain for thoughts on the future of energy.

I know you are a big fan of DME. But presumably we would get most electricity from nuclear plants under your plan of action. And it doesn't appear that your plans include using DME for cars. That would leave two remaining areas of our energy economy: space and water heating and manufacturing.

Is it correct that this is primarily where you envision DME being used? How easy would it be to substitute it into our energy delivery systems? And is there any future at all that you can see for it in the transportation portion of our energy economy?

Technically true but really the risk of being exposed to that is pretty low. cstanleytech Mar 2021 #3
