Indeed, all we had to put up with back then were large numbers of two stroke vans made by Trojan et al, such as Brook Bond's huge fleet delivering their tea nationally to the vast number of little corner shops before supermarkets were invented. And the coal fired steam lorries from Sentinel and...

All of which ignores the amazing recycling ability of nature, developed over billions of years of evolution, to handle anything and everything thrown at it. Successfully of course, it's why we are still here. We have the same new refuse sorting laws here, but they often have to be ignored...

That's shocking news of over reaction! The five in our family might never have survived WW2 in good enough health without all the eggs and occasional meat from our regulation maximum of 12 chickens and all of our home grown vegetables and fruit. Plus the fungi, fruit and vegetation we...

So since the 1930's "the world has only ONE economically successful Hydrogen well". Now count all the oil and gas Wells.. What does that tell us children? :) That oil and gas are for ordinary people. :p Hydrogen is special, so like gold and gems, supply is restricted to keep it exclusive for...

It's good to see China is making progress with thorium at last. India, also with huge reserves, has been talking it up for many years but with little actual progress. One way or another I can see our needs being satisfied eventually without ever achieving nuclear fusion. .

The critics continue to show their ignorance in saying this is a latest innovation. In fact BYD's first ever EV many years ago was a range extender, directly modelled on GM's Chevrolet Volt. Both had a 2 litre petrol engine generator which cut in to generate current as the onboard battery...

When a court imposes a driving ban alongside a prison sentence or detention and training order, the ban's duration is automatically extended by half the custodial term. This extension applies even if the offender is released on parole after serving part of the sentence. This ensures the ban...

It's harmonisation. After many years of being out on a limb, the USA with its three EAPC classes has fallen into line with the EU practice that has become de facto the only world standard for assisted cycling: Class 1 = Basis EU EAPC with no throttle. Class 2 = As above with throttle, the...

Good to see that at last there is some official recognition that the term e-bike and its variants should never be used. I've argued this many times in here , only to be shouted down, explaining why there's no such thing as an e-bike, if we accept that the "e" refers to being electrically...

No doubt on the grounds that his presence could whip up race hatred, which of course is illegal. The threat of it certainly brought this Enoch Powell replacement out of the woodwork. .

Agreed, and I'm certainly not a political Green. I wasn't advocating renewables, just pointing out what the renewable element was, not the infrastructure as you intentionally wrongly posted. .

I don't disagree with anything you say here, other than the unjustifiable calling others idiots because they have greater vision than you. You are quoting the historical facts of our evolution as animals struggling to survive in a fiercely competitive environment, a type of environment we've...

Once again, the grossest of exaggeration, so once again from me, please take some urgently needed reading lessons. I've made no mention of ownership of property, whether residential or any other sort. I posted about ownership of LAND, the lack of which does not prevent ownership of property...

Yes, for two reasons: 1) Right remains right, whether in my self interest of not 2) Because like all sensible people, I plan my life as far as possible so would not land in that situation. .

Indeed, but of course we have been exponentially using fossil fuels far faster than they are being created, so they definitely will run out on present policies, especially if we do not severely limit our population. The irrational elements of the policy you comment on are just our usual human...

Of course, and my post explained what the term meant: "The difference is they do not have to fed with fossil fuels, as you well know. " .

More deliberate "misunderstanding". What they produce is the renewable. The difference is they do not have to fed with fossil fuels, as you well know. .

I wondered how long it would be before you jumped in! Your distortion is the utter tripe. In the original absence of any other state, the land, or the use of it, belonged to all the biological states upon it. UNTIL, certain parties started to seize and declare ownership on no basis...

Deliberately misunderstand. The land belongs to all, so roads are provided on it by democratic rule for ALL to travel on, not for SOME to obstruct travel on them for residential purposes. Without ownership of land there is no "private" land, but can be, as I posted, private RENTED land for...

Try reading the links again, or take some reading lessons. I'm commenting neutrally on the authorities view, without condoning or criticising it. You should try a little neutrality in commenting to help keep your extremism in check. Such as your implied support for a tiny number of people...
