QuoteTheres another way of doing this than eeking back to the dark ages. Accelerate industry and let development solve the problems.

Normal solar power should be dropping down in price. With companys like Nanosolar printing solar panels they should get the cost right down. As soon as it gets near to a price where it is competitive with coal then it will take off massively.

I think an electric car with a diesel or petrol backup generator is a much better option than hydrogen at the moment.

But how much does a litre of bull jizz cost?

Probably a hundered thousand or so.

What do you have planned ?  

lets face it, which average person is gonna choose a hybrid which has no poke at all, unless you use the engine which would defeat the point of it, or a faster derv/petrol

Quote from: DEViANCEanyone find it weired that even tho its been all over the web since monday, none of the news channels/programs have even mentioned it?

youre right actually... I think the government have a hand in that I think...

If youre going down the route of a new rail network for freight why not use the existing network for freight and make a newer one where passenger trains can travel at higher speeds.

Im sure I heard that the new diesels from Renault are more environmentally friendly than a prius, in terms of stuff that comes out the back.

Not many people now but as soon as battery prices come down you could have a very rapid plug in hybrid.

Just look at the all electric Tesla Roadster 0-60 in 4 seconds. Sure its damn expensive (£48000) now but give it a few years and the technology should filter down to lower price cars.

electric cars should nuke petrol cars at high enough capacity.  Were just a long way off it

Theres absolutely nothing to say an electric car cant blitz a petrol car if they can hold power for a long enough period.

wont be the same tho, in F1 youll have cars going past with a high pitched whine instead of an unmuffled V8 at 19,000rpm
not the same

Dont worry the good folks at F1 have put a stop to engine development for the next 10 years.  :cry:

I would expect it depends on the bull!

Supposed to be very lucrative for the owners of prize bulls but the bull just gets a tazer thing to the hurty bits.

Add a speaker, a synth, and an amp.

Sorted. Engine noise, that will vary with "revolutions".

Actually to be honest a vast majority of the UK drive cars purely to get shopping and from A to B. Providing they are comfortable at overtaking on a motorway, can travel at sustained high speeds (70mph ish) for motorway travel, and have the same controls as a traditional petrol car, im pretty damn sure most people would be perfectly happy with one.

People buy diesels now to save money on fuel consumption, so its no different really. When manufacturers start offering electric versions of their popular cars, im pretty damn sure well see a large uptake.

Instead of a 1.9ltr Diesel, Fiesta LX.

You have a Fiesta E-LX... powered by electricity.

Top speed of a normal diesel fiesta is what... 98mph on the book? and has a 0-60 of something like 20 seconds.... if an electric car can match stats, then itd be a winner.

f**k electric cars.. lets go back to Steam power.

Theres plenty of water around.. The Water just turns into steam & falls back into the ground eventually... Obviously in 50years time it will get the blame for so much rain, but its cheap, free & plenty available.

no rich maybe it was in the 80s but not any more, id be surprised if there was a manufacturer not using common rail or pump duese these days

u know the car that won the lemans recently was a derv?

Genius egg.

I think you might have missed slightly one of the inputs in steam power... What turns water into steam? Cos it sure as hell doesnt get up and turn do it on its own!

wait Im sure it magically evaporates on token hippy values.
