I think electric is now in sight

Post by StephenC »

So here we have a 21hp, 100 mile range, 70mph+ capable bike by Zero for £8995.

Seriously, if it had storage it could be my next purchase. By the time my finance on the Xmax is done in 2 year's time, I reckon there will be a viable electric option for me. Can't wait!

What we need is Hydrogen, not half of the coutry ploughed up for charging parks etc, plus we are very short of electric generation anyway.

People conking out all over the place at rush hour etc etc the list goes on and on.

Build Hydrogen producing plants around the coast fuelled by the tide.

Win win win etc.

Best Mark.

:?: No we aren't. We are ahead of targets.

The progress of renewables in electricity generation has been very successful. Floating wind farms are going to feature heavily, as are tide turbines. Some estimates reckon that if the progress of these technologies meet targets, we won't even need the new Hinkley Point nuclear generator, let alone rely on anything coal or oil powered by 2025.
