They get ever closer the new Tesla lorry is factory ready for driverless mode when the law is passed

"What exactly is the point of electric cars again? To save the planet. They are worse at everything and more expensive. But the one thing they are supposed to be good at, they do NOT do!!!" From here: www.wheelchairdriver.com/electric-car.htmIn every English city, the posh is West, the poor are East. Easy - that's the way the wind blows. Electric cars are a continuation of that. Move the pollution to downwind of power stations, you can bet on who lives there, but it ain't the queen, she lives near a smelly road.

From here: www.wheelchairdriver.com/electric-car.htmThink you should look at the date on the article foxy its total bollocks things have moved on so much since then

You still haven't explained, Peter, how all this lithium is going to come out of the ground. Will it be mined by machines burning fossil fuels, pouring out filthy black diesel fumes? (yes!) How will these vehicles be made? Where is the power going to come from for all the smelting of the steel parts? From power stations - burning - what? Coal? The end result may look all fancy and 'Green' but there's an awful lot of shit in the background that's conveniently just swept under the doormat of making it look all respectable. My theory is that in future energy will be supplied from satellites reaping the Solar Winds and beaming it down to the planet through lasers. First up, let's destroy Theresa May's Bahamas tax paradise island! And.... RUN! Richard Branson!! Ross everywhere you look in Britain its wind turbines, or solar fields houses with solar panels, on when I go down the Don to Doncaster their are Archimedes screw electric generators at the weirs, things are moving on from coal. two very large nuclear power stations are being built as well. Things are changing which is for the good as to long we have relied on fossil fuels. Lithium batteries are what we are using now, I suspect it will be sodium batteries soon, the sea is full of sodium so no mining and plentiful, roll on the electric future.

Nuclear, eh? How does the plutonium & uranium get mined? It will take more electricity to get the sodium atoms off the chlorine atoms than the electricity you'll get back when you combine them again. With people normally and I think you need to google sodium glass batteries to see which way batteries are heading along with sodium ion and I forget the other

I'm betting 50p we won't see 'real' electric cars ever. You think the Saudis with their Lamborghinis and Porsches want to sit in one of these? ............... what, like the rich Emiratis living in Masdar City (Abu Dhabi) where no IC-engined vehicles are allowed within the city limits and personal transport is provided by guided electric pod cars?

Isn't it about time the St.Pancras to Sheffield railway was electrified? And the Manchester-Huddersfield-Dewsbury-Leeds railway? You'd think this would get done if electricity was so great? Oh yeah, and the Manchester-Todmorden-Halifax-Bradford railway. I'm betting 50p we won't see 'real' electric cars ever. You think the Saudis with their Lamborghinis and Porsches want to sit in one of these? Move over, Granny! Sheik-yer-whatsit wants to take it for a spin round Bognor! Or the new Tesla roadster 0-60 1.9 seconds 252MPH and I think a 600 mile range mmmmm I am sure you are a dinosaur Ross

Abundance of elements by mass in the Earth's crust Sodium and chlorine plus a bit of iodine What about the watery stuff floating on the earths crust? when we use desalination plants the bi-product is sodium

What about the watery stuff floating on the earths crust? when we use desalination plants the bi-product is sodium Are you sure you don't mean sodium chloride, otherwise known as common salt? NaCl. 'Desalination' - the clue is in the name - removing the salt from seawater. Getting the sodium atoms say from their very intimate partnership with the chlorine atoms is the tricky bit. Is it a co-incidence that Wanderer Vagabond has started a thread on CWDF about Driverless Cars just 17 hours ago? Hello, Wanderer Vagabond, enjoying it over here?!! The scientists dont seem to think its difficult they are saying they have an unlimited supply of cheap sodium and did you see Guy Martin last night? his 800 horsepower monster got smoked by a Tesla electric car and he seems a firm fan of them perfik

The article says. The overtaking car collided with a white vehicle causing a disastrous chain reaction that saw all three vehicles spin out of control. No it dident. It's quite clear that the white car was driving without due care and attention and drove into the overtaking car, which potentially did nothing wrong.
