Re: [Amc-list] How about no fuel at all?

The point is that at the current price of even nuclear electric it is not effective to compress air to power a car.
The electric is put to more efficient use if it simply powers electric motors from battery banks in the car.
Using the electric to compress air is more costly than charging batteries.
