    That much muscle mass has to take a lot of protein to maintain. What on earth are they hunting out there in the desert?

    You’d think an electric bike and a few solar panels would go a lot farther in a desert environment. Solarpunk version of mad max.

      Raiding racks of solar panels and batteries is way less cool

      Also would solar panels be harder to cobble together than an engine?

        Nah, easier. At least if you have access to solar panels and metal for wiring.

        Now making a solar panel from scratch, that’s a whole different story… At that point, just go with solar thermal low tech steam turbine or something

          yeah, you need an industrial base to build from scratch. But that’s not that different if you want to build engines and oil refining from scratch. You’d have to start with a steam engine first and reboot industry from there.

          Look, I love the concept of solar power and I’m proud of my Australian state being one of the first jurisdictions in the world that will be 100% renewable. Buttttt…

          It’s pretty hard to be cooler than running a car on millions of explosions powered by dinosaur juice
