    So what did Marina Claire Wheeler get in settlement? Given she hasn't said a whole lot in public about Johnson.

    With far too many in significant positions who seem to wish it to be worse as a country to live in.

    The headlines are coming out with Johnson being unfit. How many will blame the whole tory party for letting him in? https://www.tomorrowspapers.co.uk/

    I see the Home Office are being compelled to allow access to their own personal data by people denied settled status. My view is the previous High Court judgement looked wrong and today's appeal court ruling looks right.

    Very difficult to know whether to believe Cummings - given what we have seen and heard of him. But so much of what he has said chimes with what some media have said, what some here have said, and what I have thought. Need to be careful, though, as one of the best ways of distributing untruths...

    I remember producer gas! (No - not the same, but it reminded me.)

    I left that out because I know little about hydrolysis and the processes of getting the hydrogen into storage containers. If plants to do that were modest scale, then much of the distribution could possibly be of electricity from generation point to hydrolysis plant.

    End to end efficiency appears to be a major issue. Mind, if we end up with massive over-installation of solar generation, and wind, perhaps absolute efficiency wouldn't matter so much. But even that would require hydrolysis plants able to mop up all the excess. And storage facilities.

    Perhaps we need to re-cast charging rates from kilowatts to mph? If we charge at 60 mph, then in an hour we can drive a notional 60 miles. Obviously, that would have to be the standardised rate for your vehicle and it would be vehicle dependent. But a helpful way of considering how long you need...

    Even if the big picture is as you imply, I think I'd very much like to see all those who live in the UK able to breathe clean air.

    I see that there is a dual-fuel approach: https://h2dualpower.com/en#dual%20fuel Which might be significantly better than diesel only.

    Agriculture uses huge amounts of diesel and, sadly, all too many of their vehicles tend to emit plumes of smoke. That is a major challenge.

    I see that Johnson has declared a property interest in Oxfordshire - I assume the one that was publicised as being for rent. From 9 April 2021, residential property in Oxfordshire: (i). (Registered 04 May 2021) Not sure why he would suddenly acquire that interest (seemingly part owned with...

    It would surprise me if there were ever any new vehicles with electrical drive which don't have a battery pack or, just possibly, some sort of capacitor. Regenerative braking is a significant part of energy efficiency. I'm pretty sure you can't and never will be able to generate and compress...

    A lot of EVs don't have the range to get from here to Kent! :) But, talking about chargers in Kent... Hastings joined with Romney, Hythe, Dover and Sandwich to form a brotherhood of coastal towns in 1067, intended to defend England from any cross-Channel invasion; they took the crest of a...
