What is the best way to predict the future?

What is the best way to predict the future?

Abraham Lincoln and countless others have uttered some variation of this quote: “The best way to predict your future is to create it.”

Can math predict the future?

Scientists, just like anyone else, rarely if ever predict perfectly. No matter what data and mathematical model you have, the future is still uncertain. So, scientists have to allow for error in our fundamental equation. That is, Y = f(X) + E, where “E” encompasses our inability to predict perfectly.

How many electric cars will be on the road in 2025?

Compared to the prior forecast released in 2017, EV sales are estimated to be 1.4 million in 2025 versus 1.2 million.

Are hydrogen batteries the future?

Honda has only sold 1,617 Clarity Fuel Cell vehicles in nearly four years and the company is “pursuing multiple ZEV (Zero Emission Vehicle) pathways” in an effort to reduce CO2 emissions, a spokesperson said. “Both BEVs and hydrogen fuel cells are the future.”

What are the problems with hydrogen fuel cells?

The two prime dangers from fuel cell and hydrogen-powered vehicles are the danger of electrical shock and the flammability of the fuel. Fuel cells power vehicles by electro-chemically combining hydrogen gas (H2) and oxygen (O2) from the surrounding air into water (H20) and electrical energy.

How much does a tank of hydrogen cost?

Hydrogen fuel cell cars now average between 312 miles and 380 miles in range, according to the EPA. They will cost about $80 to refuel from empty (most drivers don’t let the tank run down to empty before they refuel, so end up refueling at a cost of $55 to $65).

How many miles per gallon does a hydrogen car get?

Mirai fuel economy is measured in MPGe—Miles Per Gallon Equivalent—and the EPA gives it a 74 MPGe combined rating, but driving rapidly dropped our numbers down into the low 40s (and, on the steepest hills, down into the 20s), which has a tragic effect on range.
