Electric cars are 5hlt. I hope they're making batteries for other stuff too. Otherwise it will fail. Edited by Forest Hillbilly (19 Jul 2023 11.44am) I don't always agree with you, but I do on this. What we need is not battery-powered vehicles, but to convert the road network into something akin to a giant Scalextric track, with vehicles drawing electric power from the rails and drivers paying per mile. A bit like the former 'Autopia' at Disneyland Paris or the much older trains at Butlins' funfairs.

Trams ? Dodgy ground there FH. It's well known that if you want to change from a train into a bus or vice versa, although an extreme minority want to, the trams movement is an increasingly vociferous and aggressive group. Best stick to Becky's safer Volks Railway era when everyone knew where they stood (or sat, if there was room).
Living down here does have some advantages. At least you can see them cry. |
