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. 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. Multiple Greenland ice cores suggest that theglobalwind patterns completely reversed carrying warm air northwards to the huge ice cap which spread as far south as France. See Nature and Science magazines for corroborating evidence from multiple sources and teams from completely different disciplines publishing by sheer coincidence in the same month. The climate seems to have been remarkably stable until man-madewarmingupset the system. Now any sudden changes change would be superimposed on top of the damage we've already done with still virtually no political willingness to change our habits. There may still be hope in the recession forcing a major rethink on how we treat our planet. Let's learn from our mistakes. |
