I'd buy an electric car like a shot if one was available. But not some
bloated overweight 20th century car designed for high speed with 5
people and a heavy engine and gearbox. Nor some pressed steel box with
the engine taken out and a lead/acid battery pack and washing machine
motor fitted. The electric car could be made very much lighter like
the Austin 7 of the 1930s. Half the weight of the Ford T and much
smaller because the roads were better in Europe. *Modern roads are no
problem for a small, light, electric car with modern suspension and
disk brakes.More of a 4 wheel motorcycle design with a lightweight
body and independent suspension built deliberately for only two adults
with all the weight saving that offers. Recharge
with wind/solar renewables for a CO2 neutral transport system that
still provides the shelter, the comfort and total freedom of choice
and movement of a car. Get the stalled car factories building
something cheap, electric and simple now instead of watching them
close with massive job losses so they can't build anything at all.

The same radio programme indicated that the Earth went from an ice age
to a warm climate in only one year 11k years ago. 6-12 degrees CGlobaltemperature change in a matter of a few short years. The climate seems to have been remarkably stable until man-madewarmingupset the system.

How are you going to recharge those electric cars at night? Do you
understand ac power at all? Load?

In the US,"small, very light "cars are very dangerous in collisions
and cost far more to insure. Check your local emergency room to see
how motorcycle riders fare in collisions with cars.

So 11,000 years ago campfires of a very small group of humans turned
the environment into runaway global warming? Suppose natural factors
were the primary cause? Again, you make my case for me.
