A nice article; but, it's like getting a drink out of a fire hose. There is no doubt that a world energy crisis exist; but, bombarding people with information is not the way to inform them. That's a problem science has had for a long time - trying to tell you everything they know at one time.
If science wants the world to know about the energy crisis - they need to buy a 30 second spot during the super bowl.
The electric cub was cool - I am sure though, as hard as I work my cub on weekends, I would need more batteries than a cub could carry.

John,
I noticed that also. It maybe like a T-model ford I once read about that
ran on air. Someone had left the engine in tact and put in an air compressor that could be connected to a power source and it filled a
tank and then the engine was operated with bursts of air much like an
injector introduces fuel into the cylinder. The compressor was set up to where it also ran when the car was running when the pressure dropped to
a predetermined pressure.

Good idea.
That's a pretty good idea. I wonder if the weight of the lead batteries required to power the Cub might make it a little light in the front, it's not like he's going to be doing any work with that tractor, though.
I was thinking it might be safer to put them onto a belly pan, kind of like where the Woods Mower sits, but a platform of batteries instead, which would keep the weight under the center of the Cub.
