if you follow that line, it explains why you can't see my point. Your e-car does not need recharging every day. Imagine you rent out your battery to your neighbours, buying electricity when it's cheap and sell it back to them in day time, you could make a couple of £ each day. If you share a...

let's say your average driving need is 10 miles a day, that's 3kWH as energy consumption a day for getting around town, or 125W. The national grid capacity is about 80GW. If we went all out to automated electric cars, that would put an extra load of 8.2GW. That load is flexible, the car can even...

driverless cars are real enough. Billions are still being invested into this technology every year.

driverless cars can be directed toward a charging station when and where it suits the grid while if you own the car, your time and place are picked to suit you, not the grid.

I would suggest the Rio MTB. It's a well proven bike for this sort of distance and weight. http://wooshbikes.co.uk/?rio-mtb

TaaS, transportation as a service, that's what most self driving cars will be. Much cheaper than owning a car and if people are not allowed to drive on busy routes, automated cars will be faster too.

Look at the rate of car ownership in London: fewer people want to own a car each year following the next, especially among younger Londoners. The rate of decline was less than 0.5% a year before 2006, accelerating to 2% a year in 2011. Uber has made the job easier: if you share an Uber car, you...

driverless cars solve that problem too. If we replace all the cars in London by automated cars, instead of 2.5 million cars, we'll need only half a million.

I think you underestimate the effect of self driving technology. It is the key to turn all the batteries in electric cars into reservoirs for solar and wind generated electricity. Imagine the UK will go all out for self driving electric cars. We would need only about 10 millions of them, each...

your situation is more like flexi-time. most people on zero hour contracts cannot choose when to work. They are also immediately put under pressure if they say no.

I think the idea is to prioritise ultra low emission zone. Cities like London would impose ultra low emission zone inside the circular road.

Farage latest claim: He says he will stand to be an MP again and is ready to do a 'deal with the devil' to deliver Brexit! How much chance of success would you rate his newest idea?

actually... it may be possible. I talked to someone about this subject yesterday in a London park. People living in London are of course looking forward to the day when car fumes won't be a problem and nobody is forced to ride a bike. I was trying to sell him my idea of a secondary battery...

we usually import x whole sets of components, so can't sell the bike without the electrical parts. There are small bottles and bag batteries you can buy on aliexpress for standard road bikes. Here are some that you can get from UPP (unit pack power)...

not many would care for brexit outside England and Wales.

Diane Abbott was in fine form for many years (about 12 years, 2003-2015) when she was a regular part of the BBC This Week team sitting next to Portillo. Her performance declined ever since. Maybe why she did not appear much on it since 2015.

why do you insist on calling robdon a she?

YouGov poll on EP election: it seems that all tory for brexit voters have already decided to vote for Farage BXP. that would make remainers win the EP poll (CHUK, Green, Libdems + 70% Lab + Con = 5+11+15+11+10 = 52 against BXP + 30% Labour = 34 + 4 = 38, overall 52/38 for remain).

the problem is it's not what Abbott actually says, which is by and large are sensible things to say, she is getting slower and slower with age, she also tends to think aloud, making her look and sound like a child on the spectrum.

assuming that your bike is already derestricted, give me your maximum speed on flat roads at present and your target speed, I will detail the calculations for you.
