Hi all,
been away for a bit due a week in acute lung ward due RSV and subsequent pneumonia. Not just COVID that can get you!
whatever the benefits, I cannot envisage grappling with charging cables on an icy winters night. I would end up in a different ward!
the National Grid is already teetering on the edge even with imported supplies from Europe. Jersey supply was threatened by the delightful macron over a fishing dispute. It would be ironic if you had to buy a diesel backup generator to charge your electric car – anything is possible with a grandstanding buffoon at the helm.
by 2030, all the current bev Phev cars will be facing a new battery, 8-£10000 Cannot be recycled, nor can the composite 100m blades from wind turbines – buried in the desert in California
without alternative battery tech, the existing strained supplies of cobalt, lithium and neodymium for motors cannot possibly meet future demand
apart from that, what could possibly go wrong with project net zero – exploding hydrogen mains perhaps!
next post will be less cynical
