Will Blue Gas Overthrow Tesla?

If you keep up with news regarding technological advances, you have probably heard of the ongoing debate between blue gas vs. Tesla.

The argument is worth looking into as we have been trying to find a solution to the age-old problems we have been trying to solve.

For a while, we believed that battery-operated cars could be the answer to pollution from vehicles. That was until the name, ‘blue gas’ surfaced.

If you are still wondering how blue gas could be better than battery-operated cars and if it could actually compete against Tesla’s advanced technology, here are some key points to keep in mind.

What is Blue Gas?

Blue gas is essentially a liquid hydrocarbon fuel, which is made of basically carbon monoxide and oxygen. What makes this gas stand out is it uses natural gases and creates the fuel by a carbon-neutral process.

Moreover, another interesting aspect of this gas is that instead of polluting exhaust emitted from cars, vehicles using blue gas-only emit water and heat. You might be wondering what makes this gas unique as battery-operated cars are known to be environmentally friendly as well.

Due to the different advantages it automatically has over battery-operated cars, StocksReviewed says “Blue Gas” could end Tesla.

Recharging vs. Refueling

One of the biggest drawbacks of Tesla cars is that it takes a long time for them to charge. The time might be a small price to pay if it is good for the environment, right?

However, blue gas is also environment-friendly as previously mentioned and on top of that, it does not take nearly as long to refuel the vehicle.

Imagine going on a road trip with your Tesla only to find that your car is low on battery. You will have to charge the car for hours before you could hit the road again. With battery operated cars, you have to be proactive with the care of your vehicle.

Not only are cars using blue gas easier to refuel, but they also last longer than battery-operated cars. This is one of the aspects of the debate which is harder to determine because there are a lot of variables, such as the speed and air conditioner, which may affect the results.

However, a Tesla car with a full battery can go up to 100 miles without disturbances, on the other hand, a car running on blue gas can keep going for a bit over 300 miles on one tank of gas.

This alone proves how blue gas is more efficient having longer road time as well as requiring less time to refuel.

Are They Good for the Environment?

The highlight of both these sources of energy is the fact that they are clean and good for the environment however, a lot more comes to the surface when you dig deeper. The whole essence of batteries is the very reason why they are not the most environmentally friendly addition to your car.

One of the problems with Tesla cars that cannot be avoided is the demand for lithium which is bad for the environment. As battery cars become more popular, people will start to see a shift in popularity because of the batteries which contain lithium.

This will lead to more entities racing to mass-produce lithium for supplying to companies such as Tesla. However, behind the scenes, we are actually replacing one problem with another. In order to produce just a ton of lithium, 500 gallons of water are required.

Areas, where lithium is produced, are already facing problems with water shortages and the use of chemicals is also affecting the fish in the water bodies.

Additionally, batteries are manufactured with different materials and it is more difficult to recycle them. The reason why batteries are seen as  a threat to the environment is because it is not economically feasible to meltdown  and reuse its components.

Is Blue Gas Safer?

In all honesty, blue gas is not entirely risk-free but it is relatively safer to handle. Even though the gas is combustible it is still an extremely light element. In other words, even if you come across a gas leak it will not pool on the ground and should dissipate fairly quickly due to its lightweight nature.

So, even if there are chances of an accident, the properties of the gas itself lower the chances of it occurring.

The Drawbacks of Blue Gas

Blue gas seems to be an absolute dream come true however, it does have its drawbacks.

Though blue gas has quickly earned its position as a competitor to Tesla and has many large brands investing in it, it should be acknowledged that it is still in its beginning phase.

In other words, there is still a lot to learn as companies move forward with this gas. This is one of the primary reasons why people are still skeptical about a gas that seemingly has so far ticked all the boxes.

Moreover, the problem of accessibility also needs to be considered when weighing the pros and cons of blue gas. Both Tesla and blue gas face this problem however, its impact is harder on blue gas.

It is undeniable that hydrogen fueling stations are not as widely available as normal gas stations. Unless this problem is solved, car companies will be less inclined to invest in manufacturing cars which use blue gas as the demand for it will be low.

However, it is safe to say that this problem is not completely unsolvable.

Final Thoughts

Finding and using clean energy sources is important as the exhaust from vehicles alone is dangerous for the environment.

It is evident that blue gas earned its name as the “Tesla Killer” fairly. It seems to be a better and cleaner alternative to Tesla cars as it is more efficient and better for the environment. 

With all these facts laid in front of you about Tesla and blue gas, it is time for you to pick a side. What do you think? Will Tesla emerge victoriously, or will blue gas win this race?
