Even that's not gonna be efficient enough for this problem lol. They need like, a continuous supply of barrels, in the region of 1000-3000 per minute, every single minute of the day 24/7.
It's A LOT.
I agree, I was more just riffing on the running joke that liberals will go for all types of ‘futuristic’ transport options, like the hyperloop and boring company, that are essentially worse versions of a train.
People underestimate how MUCH oil is used daily. Our strategic oil reserves are ~415 million barrels and we use about 20.6m barrels a day.
Even knowing the scale of it I still had to run and re-run the numbers to make sure I wasn't being silly when I said "per minute". No really, it's genuinely that much. It's an absolutely enormous amount that's difficult to appreciate.
Eh it's only like 20-50 barrels per second
lol
