Yahoo Finance Editor-in-Chief Andy Serwer and T. Boone Pickens discuss the changing news business

This wide-ranging discussion between Andy Serwer, Editor-in-Chief of Yahoo! Finance, and T. Boone Pickens covers everything from the changing news business to energy to the Presidential campaign. Andy talks about the end of traditional newspapers and shares the best outlets to read for news about business today. On the Presidential campaign, Andy thinks that a lot of Republicans will come around to supporting Trump. Boone and Andy also discuss Secretary Hillary Clinton’s and Senator Bernie Sanders’ opposition to fossil fuels.

    The future is NG running my engine. Tesla is 100 mpge highway and 200 mpg city. Tesla is 60% efficient city and 70% highway. My car will be 1/2 the weight and 1/2 the aero drag. The engine is 60%. That means 200 mpg highway and 400 mpg city. 100% braking recovery vs 50% for a Tesla (at best). Electricity is $5/gal e. (33.7 kw-hr/gallon equiv x 15 cent/kw-hr = $5/gal). Battery is 12 cent/kw-hr or $4/gal e. Total fuel cost to run a Tesla is $9/gal. Natural Gas from house is $1/gal. Industrial NG is 50 cent'/gal. ($4/mmbtu). Cost ratio in fuels is 9:1 electric to NG. Tesla to my car: 9 times more for fuel and twice as much drag...18:1. So, If the Pickens plan can be done where all vehicles run on Natural Gas, then people will pay 18 times LESS by running my car with my engine than running a Tesla. Btw, my car has 4 times better crash protection (former airbag engineer here). It also can add wings and fly...raodable seaplane. Road tax should be 4 cents/mile. With my roadable seaplane a two place can fly at 1 cent/mile at 100 mph on NG. At 200 mph 4 cents/mile on NG. Tires are at least 1 cent/mile ($400/set /40,000 miles= 1 cent/mile) on a Buick or Toyota. So, for the cost of tires you could fly for the same amount. When you fly you don't use tires.... Did you read that? Tires will cost the same as the fuel to run your roadable seaplane at 100 mph on NG. Read that 100 times to comprehend what I just said. These numbers are real. I can calculate them in front of your face. NO FAKE NEWS. This is possible. You just need the right engine and right airplane. Fly for LESS than the cost of tires. hmmm...the world will change.... Oh, yes, I forgot, oil change is 1 cent/mile too ($30/3000 miles). That means you can fly at 140 mph (2 cents/mile) since this engine does not need oil change (no oil, only glycol in select areas for freezing). So, fly at 140 mph for less than tires and oil change. Hmmm. I would call that "free energy" by another name...but this is REAL, not some perpetual motion nonsense. Just great engineering and inventions that we all need. Why would someone want a Tesla again? Save money? How? Will sost over 18 times more than my car, and it can't be made to fly where there is no traffic. Oh, by outlawing combustion engines to save the planet. Got it. 7 -17 times MORE CO2 to run a Tesla from the grid to save CO2? Total insanity.

    You can have NG powered airplanes with my engine because it is 60% and a turbo prop Pratt and Whitney pt6a is 20% efficient. That makes the volume issue work for NG. Batteries are 12 times more in volume than gasoline and 3.15 times more volume than NG (takes 3.8 gallons volume to contain 1 gallon e of NG at 3600 psi). Clearly the volume for Batteries does not work The weight of a battery is 521 lbs/gallon e. Tesla battery is 1320 lbs for 85 kw-hr or 2.52 gallons...521 lbs/gallon e. You have no range with 521 lbs/gallon in an airplane. You can't even go 1/2 hour at high speeds of 300 mph. Total joke. More interesting is drag reduction. Boundary layer drag reduction can get 1/2 the drag gone. Thermal issues can run from waste heat of 40%. It gets cold high up where the air is thin. My engine can maintain power to 40,000 feet....no turbo. Electrics don't have the thermodynamic cycles to deal with thermal issues and air needed for boundary layer control. They have to use batteries to drive a motor to pump the air to make the boundary layer control and use battery energy to heat. Boundary layer can make an airplane get up to 4 times the lift and make stalls a thing of the past. Did you hear what I just said??? No stall issues. No kidding...safe airplanes that won't stall and spin and kill. Wow, try that will electrics....cost you a lot more in energy and weight not to mention more risk. My engine is distributed power just like a grid. Small engines all along the wing. See x-57...but with no electric motors that require batteries. I can use JetA, bio, Diesel, Gasoline, Ethanol, Alcohol, NG or battery (should that require zero CO2 on ground operations in CA...insane legislatures wants to ban combustion engines in 2040).
