Can you imagine the restraint I am exercising in order not to comment on the latest damning report on our government?
Any way moving on what shall we discuss today? We are debating the merits of swapping our two cars for one electric one? At present full electric vehicles are expensive and the range still not that good. Having said that for us we do not need a large range we hardly use the cars as it is. One has to be careful, as the speed you drive at, ultimately dictates the full mileage range of the car. To get the maximum range you have to drive at a steady speed under 50mph. The future has to be about riding ourselves of fossil fuels, the will not last forever and the environmental problem is well documented and needs no further comment here. I am not convinced electric is the long term answer and I know that many alternatives are being worked on such as Hydrogen. I wonder about the environmental impact of the manufacturing process of electric? It is all very well having an environmental end product but if the production, is not just as “clean”, it rather defeats the object?
We have to all be responsible for our planet no matter how little our individual contribution seem. If collectively, we all try it must have an effect?
Stay well
