Hello and welcome. It is Eric Erickson here. The Eric Erickson show. Yes, my show. The phone number is 8779373-725 should you wish to be a part of this program. You're welcome to try. Got to get past the call screater. In fact, I'm going to go to someone who did get past the Coast Gr the coaster because Charlie and I were actually kind of fascinated by this. The number of people who have an

interest in opinion about or expertise in batteries and electric cars is just, I talked about this

yesterday that the number up to the uptake in electric vehicles in this country and around

the world is far higher than people expected, but it really comes because of a surge in

demand in Europe.

What Bloomberg news is not reporting, they're the ones who ran the story yesterday, but

they're not actually reporting is that the reason for the rapid uptake in Europe is because fossil fuel burning vehicles are having to meet such stride at metrics that costs have gone up and people are getting fine.

Gasoline prices have been artificially inflated to be out of people's reach.

So they're being forced into electric cars.

Now, the downside of that is that in colder weather, electric batteries don't perform

as well, and there's just a convoluted mess of a situation as a result.

So I actually want to go to Roger, who was talking about this, got some thoughts on this.

Roger, welcome to the program.

Oh, thanks for taking my call, sir.

Sure.

One of the comments that I wanted to make is there's a technology out there that's been around for many years, which is called solid hydrogen.

Yes.

And it's absolutely green and has 100% recyclability of the hydrogen storage,

and it's at room temperature and not under pressure.

So it's incredibly safe.

And one of the funny things I said to, told your screener, my father actually had an electric car dealership back in the mid-70s.

And it was 55 miles an hour for 55 miles running on lead acid batteries that also were hard to recycle but can be recycled.
