It'll be interesting to see how the oil companies deal with electric powered cars in the future, I have no doubt they have been working on how to exploit the market to suit them........................
PS Nicola Tesla..............genius.............
In Oklahoma, a petroleum based economy, there are extra fees, taxes and licensing charges for non-petroleum powered vehicles. These have been in effect for years.

I don't think polititians are neccessarily idiotic - but I do think they may be spinning us a bit of a yarn when they try and tell us that electric cars only cost "pennies" to recharge.
I wonder if anybody has actually made a comparison between the price of a KWHr. that comes out of a socket on the wall, goes through an electric car's battery and out of the motor drive shaft - and the price of a KWHr. that comes out of the output shaft of a conventional cars gearbox?

Unless the railways move to bio diesel.
The USN completed a major exercise using bio fuels in their ships and aircraft.

Bio fuel first cook your fish and chips with it, then run your diesel engine on it.

Africans did it back in the day when apartheid sanctions were in place they used sunflower oil.

Bio fuels still chuck out clag though. Funny, isn't it. A few years ago we were worried about running out of fuel. Now, it looks like we cant use it anyway. I still want to know where all this climate friendly electricity is going to come from.

Solar is good, if we really did it large scale, you could slow down global warming.
Trouble with solar power is that it takes a lot of space. Unfortunately Britain hasn't got that much spare space
. Even less now there's 200000million houses to be built to satisfy the developers

If they were built with solar panels as part or all of the roof and retro fitted to houses already built you would probably have more than enough electricity, BUT it would need a system of storage and some conventional back up.

The problem with solar is our position from the equator. in summer we get about 14 hours of usable daylight many days in the winter it is less than 4. I have 2.85 Kw on the roof and several days this winter they just about managed the equivalent of lighting a 100w bulb for a about an hour.

Yeah, isn't part of the ozone reduction problem the methane produced by cows farting?
