[QUOTE="JTL, post: 2218240, member: 49289"] The problem with an all electric world is there is no way we can produce anything like enough energy to drive it. We need thousands upon thousands of miles of cabling in the UK alone installing. This of course will cause a huge spike in fossil fuel use to achieve it. The production of copper cable and plastic alone will be huge. Then there's almost every street in the land that will need digging up. More fossil fuel use. There are huge planning and logistics problems involved too tearing up remote villages and city and town centres and urban environments and figuring out where millions of people will actually be able to charge up their batteries. When to charge up too because if everyone charged up at a peak time the whole system would collapse. The UK produces 1% of global emissions while Japan are building 25 new coal fired power stations .... is it worth it? The batteries need masses of lithium from unstable and unfriendly countries .... more war? China has lakes of battery manufacture waste so big you can stand on one shore of these man made toxic oceans and not see the far shore ..... no one has a clue what to do about these **** holes and they are starting to leech into the ground and water supply. There are no easy solutions to mostly imaginary problems. [/QUOTE]
