I have been saying this for ages greek no one seems to see the WHOLE picture

, yes these new hydrogen vehicles and electric powered vehicles are great but power would still need to come from the grid to charge them up. Power from the grid has got cleaner with wind farms etc, but it is the usual people who go "I want to look after the planet etc" but as soon as someone goes OK we are going to put some turbines here or some other 'clean' energy source people go "F*ck off not near me"

Following on from the other threads that have been on here recently regarding electric bikes I think it is a fantastic technology that will start to develop quickly (small companies will start to release trial vehicles etc) when oil companies reduce their barrel output to line their own pockets and claim that there is none left.

There is the technology out there and it is proven that wind, wave and solar power can create electricity that can be put on the grid but it is much MUCH cheaper for electric companies to use fossil fuels. Nuclear, ok it works but it does produce toxic waste (anyone remember those sweets in the toxic waste pot, god they tasted awful) back on topic.

I have always believed that there is a plan to implement new vehicle fuel technologies such as hydrogen, but where are the fuelling stations? LPG is only available at certain places too. When fossil fuels are very low there will be magical new sources of fuel appear from the oil companies, and before you know it we will be seeing manufactures building them and you will be able to charge your car at the forecourts.

Regarding the £100m, I can think of worse things they have wasted money on

, plus they have to be seen to be doing something to help as well.

Well that felt better

, hope that helps carry on the debate
