Absolutely fascinating and thought provoking. They should show it in all schools but of course they won't.

not as well as he can, watch it.
Nothing said there hasnt been known for years.

Perhaps someone should send it to the Prime Minister and her husband. And the Greens.
Very well presented though.
The electric car isnt entirely green! In a nutshell!
Hybrids might be a better alternative until they develop the electric further and create a truely green car. Cuz basically we're kidding ourselves if we think eletric cars are CO2 free.
best would be hydrogen powered but there again how to make the hydrogen!
From splitting H2O ?
^^^ yes - with electricity which is generated (mainly) from fossil fuels at the moment.
To me, who has been in the industry, this is one of the major potentials for the future - why we want to scrap petroleum product cars when this is coming, who knows - and also in terms of total life cycle of emissions - all those redundant cars and distribution networks that will be left out there whereas we can continue to use them..... in short, nuts.

dave, hydrogen is a non starter until we can get it without using power to get it otherwise it's pointless.
there also needs to be an easier and safer way to store it on vehicles - currently it needs pressure vessels capable of sustaining 700bar, or cryogenic temperatures. the project to develop a hydrogen powered rail vehicle wasn't subtitled "Project Kerboom" lightly......
Climate change isn't man-made. It's natural.
100clarion. Link? Are you just making it up?
I refer all Hon. Members to my reply at 20.06. Besides, I've given my reasons on here many times. But people prefer to be brainwashed by money-making beneficiaries of the climate change stance, otherwise known as The Emperors' New Clothes.
Clarion, you'd have done better stating your source rather than referring to your own historic posts.

You don't have to generate electricity from fossil fuels. Regardless whether you intend heating your home with it or creating fuel for cars.
@7:39 "it means [ the non-renewable renewable energy-harvesting technologies - solar panels, wind turbines, hydro energy structure ]... have magically appeared out of thin air"

Unfortunately.
Darn those 'externalities' !
