    Which generates more pollution? A propane forklift or an electric forklift? I don’t know, but always figured it’s similar; the former from combustion engines, the later from coal et al power plants miles away. And which one would you use in a cold storage warehouse? Electric, or you’ll suffocate.

    Electric vehicles are absolutely amazing – ramp up issues AND cost notwithstanding. But I always wondered what is driving an industrial push that masses cannot afford. Maybe there are more tunnels than I imagine.

    If it doesn’t work out, there’ll be some nice non-flooding tunnels for Las Vegas’ subterranean dwellers to move into:

    @dale: Another option for warehouses is compressed air drive.

    Remember all the internet fuss over the construction going on at, around and under the Denver airport, the blue horse statue, the huge painting of children in various ethnic dress as well as nazi uniform, weird symbols, etc? https://www.flydenver.com/great_hall/denfiles

    Back then, I met a journalist who told me he’d seen part of a transportation tunnel system that ran all over — or under — the US. It was a popular alt news subject.
