......along with govt subsidies. I'm still baffled with the Musk 'lovefest' tbh. Anyone would think he's the only one in this field...... Perhaps it's because he seems to get things done...and quickly whether with govt investment or not (which would suggest he has great ideas to get the investment in the first place)...you clearly have issues with him though. For me it's more about the fact that he just gets on with it, and quickly...not like most corporations who simply drag their feet. No doubt it's because he wants to make money, but he's also not afraid of failure in order to get where he's going.

Oh its Stuk again, well they had the race in daylight ok? On your way the Queen's award for pettiness. I know, I read the news. Not exactly "the future" then, are they? Half the entries didn't even finish the race and it's not like the race is in it's infancy.

Solar buses are up and running at York and 2 recently at Brighton. They are electric being charged by batteries in turn charged from solar panels. There are for example 150 solar panels at a bus depot trapping the sun's energy throughout the day.

So they are electric, not solar (it's just that the power they use to charge them is solar generated). That's a slightly different thing. If I charge my Tessla from electricity from a nuclear power station, that doesn't mean I have a nuclear car.

The source is the sun.

And come the first winter they'll either be short of battery capacity or end up plugging them into the grid to charge.

Last week I heard someone attribute peoples wish to remain (and thus freely accept migrants) to post-Colonial guilt, which I can only assume to be a reflection of their own (extreme liberal) views. That's literally based on nothing but emotion. At least racists had enough sense to present the case of migrants taking jobs. Then you have people who actually believe that was the case, or at least (in my case) that it drives wages down (see capitalism [spit]). I've no doubt that many pro-remain arguments have a similar underlying sentiment although the difference is that my stance is open to reverse engineering while calling a remainer out on their possible sympathies for all things foreign (ironically including right-wing imports) would seem an outrageous accusation. It's so daft those who've sat down and had a serious think and still voted Corbyn seem pretty sensible.
