There are other technologies that I prefer that are nearly ready. I said I drive a Hyundai, but never said if it was ice or ev. You assumed it was ice. Lucky! But I have cut the miles I drive x10. Quit traveling and conserve every way I can. If, I can still drive when the H2O engine come to the market, I'm in!
Full disclosure. I own a share of oil land and get a small amount in compensation for oil and natural gas. I'm definitely not an oil baron. So, one might think I would be on the side of big oil. I enjoy the monthly check, but I have no control of the extraction. But just because I enjoy some benefit does not blind me to the harm that big oil, and all the rest of the habitat destroyers do.
For me the 30k you mentioned is, sadly, a deal breaker. But if I could swap ice straight across, it would already have happened.
