I thought the ICE was to go faster than 35MPH... it heats the air so it will decompress with more force or something?
Anyway... agreed about all the stuff you said about using energy to compress the air. But, one of the shows says it takes about 3 mins to fill the tank at a station which will cost about $2 in electric power... and that will bring you 800 miles. Seems like it still will create less polution. And, if those filling stations use solar/wind to run the compressors then it would truly be 100% zero pollution. Also 100% renewable.
